Nigeria’s ex-Military President, General Ibrahim Babangida (Rtd) has denied reports that he endorsed Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) for the 2023 general elections.
Spokesperson to the ex-military leader, Prince Kassim Afegbua, when contacted by newsmen, denied that Babangida endorsed Obi, saying IBB doesn’t have a Twitter account.
“It is not true please. Ignore the report of the endorsement. IBB doesn’t have a Twitter handle. If he is going to speak, it will be through a signed statement, not Twitter. Those behind the Twitter statement are liars”.
Kokomansion understands that a fake Twitter account, @General_Ibbro, tweeted on Tuesday, 3rd January 2023, that Babangida said he supported the endorsement of Obi by former president Olusegun Obasanjo.
The tweet read; “Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo will forever be a true elder statesman and a boss in the military. No serving General in the Nigerian Army today joined the military earlier than 1982. By then, Obasanjo had already finished his military career. I respect him a lot, with his endorsement”.
