In recent Nigeria news, the family of the late General Sani Abacha has countered claims made by General Ibrahim Babangida (IBB) in his book "A Journey in Service." They argue that IBB, not Abacha, was responsible for the annulment of the June 12 presidential election. The family accuses IBB of attempting to rewrite Abuja news history, urging the public to recognise unaltered facts over personal narratives.
In a statement, Mohammed Abacha highlights that his father was not in power during the annulment while defending his loyalty to IBB. He criticizes any attempts to distort historical facts, labelling them as politically motivated. The family calls for a truthful account of Nigeria’s democratic struggles, suggesting IBB’s narration lacks sincerity.
