I Will Not Seek Political Post Ever Again – Babangida

by  Khadijah Thabit 1 min read

Ibrahim Babangida, a former military president, said that he would not seek any political post again in Nigeria.

He made the statement on Tuesday, Novermber 10, in Minna, the NAN reports. He also said he turned down an invitation by the PDP for a rebranding conference.

Nevertheless, Babangida said he would continue to offer his wise counsel to all politicians towards building a better Nigeria.

Babangida further said the invitation by the PDP would amount to playing partisan politics, adding that he remained a statesman.

"While I welcome the invitation to the event as a mark of respect as one of the founding fathers, I want to be excused on the grounds that I have long bid bye to partisan politics.

"Four years ago at an elaborate event at the Transcorp Hilton Hotels Abuja, I announced my retirement from partisan politics after my failed attempt to contest for president," he added.
