A former Chief of Defence Training and Planning, General Ishola Williams (rtd), has contradicted claims made in the recently released autobiography of former Head of State, General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, stating that Babangida had already prepared General Sani Abacha to take over before the controversial June 12, 1993 annulment.
Speaking on Inside Sources with Laolu Akande, a socio-political program aired on Channels Television, Gen Williams dismissed Babangida’s claim that he had not planned for Abacha’s takeover.
He revealed that IBB referred to Abacha as ‘Khalipha’, signaling his intent for him to be his successor.
