President Bola Tinubu has disclosed the critical role former military president Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida played in his political journey.
Tinubu, who described IBB as a leader, father and uncle, said that the former military leader served as an inspiration for people like him to venture into politics.
The Nigerian leader made the submission on Thursday while speaking during the launch of IBB’s autobiography, titled “A Journey in Service.”
“General Ibrahim Babangida, without you, people like me wouldn’t be in politics; you inspire some of us,” President Tinubu said.
He added that IBB, as a visionary leader, gave the push to young, vibrant people like him to venture into politics.
