I regret annulment, but it prevented second civil war – Babangida Book filled with allegations against the dead – Odinkalu read more June 12: Anger, resentment in Nigeria as Babangida heaps blame on the dead
Ibrahim Babangida, Nigeria's former military president, has sparked criticism with his autobiography, where he admits to the annulment of the 1993 election but shifts blame to late General Sani Abacha. Babangida claims he was unaware of the annulment, though historical records show he announced it. He argues the annulment prevented a civil war, but critics like Chidi Odinkalu and Atedo Peterside dismiss his claims as self-serving and lacking evidence. While some praise his admission, others view it as an attempt to rewrite history and avoid accountability.
