The Resource Centre for Human Rights & Civic Education (CHRICED) has expressed its deep concern and outrage over the recent launch of the autobiography of former military dictator, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida(rtd), titled ‘A Journey in Service.’ In the book, Babangida admitted and acknowledged that Chief MKO Abiola was the rightful winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election.
Based on this admission, CHRICED said the former military president should be arrested immediately and prosecuted.
The NGO, in a statement by its Executive Director, Dr Ibrahim Zikirullahi, lamented that the annulment of the election, which was widely regarded, both domestically and internationally, as the most free and fair electoral process in Nigeria’s history, was a disservice to the nation.
