Former Nigerian Military President Babangida Denounces Baseless Military Takeover Warning
In a recent development, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, the former Military President of Nigeria, has vehemently denied issuing any warning about a potential military takeover in the country.

Media consultant to Babangida, Deyemi Saka, released a statement on Thursday dismissing the reports as baseless and the product of unfounded speculations with malicious intent.
Saka clarified that General Babangida, both during his tenure and post-office, has consistently advocated for democracy, considering it the superior form of governance.

He urged the public to disregard the allegations and reaffirmed General Babangida’s commitment to democratic principles.
The media consultant also called for a thorough investigation into VoP Radio Station and any other media outlet involved in disseminating such misinformation. Saka highlighted the potential threat to national security and stability posed by reckless dissemination of false information.
