The Publisher of SaharaReporters and 2027 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has taken to social media to accuse former Military Head of State, Gen. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (retd.), of contributing to the current situation Nigeria faces.
Naija News reports that yesterday, August 17, IBB marked his 85th birthday.
The former leader has since received congratulatory messages from political leaders and well-wishers across the country.
IBB was Nigeria’s Head of State from 1985 to 1993, when he stepped aside after annulling the popular June 12, 1993, presidential election, which was widely believed to have been won by late MKO Abiola.
However, Sowore, in a post via his verified 𝕏 handle late Monday, said IBB is privileged to live long but was no longer living well.
The Human Rights Activist stressed that Nigeria would be in a better place today, but that IBB’s ‘wickedness and selfishness’ in exercising power while in office have brought it to where it is today.
Sowore further said that the legacy of the former military leader was not one of nation-building, but of decisions that promoted corruption, undermined democracy and left generations of Nigerians paying the price.
“Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, the man who did Nigeria dirty, is being celebrated by his cronies on his 85th birthday.
“He lived long but is no longer living well; but had he not been so wicked and selfish in the exercise of power, Nigeria would not be where it is today.
“History should remember not just the birthday celebrations, but the consequences of the choices he made while holding power that ruined Nigeria,” Sowore wrote.
Our government does not want us to live well and they are not helping matters they depend on their what they know is about their family they don’t even care to help those that support them that vote for them I am still bleeding governor the president listen to people listen to your children people are suffering
IBB is the father of corruption in Nigeria.

If sowore Will live for as long as 85 year on earth,he will not be living well too for sure
Elderly ones should be respected and honoured. That’s what our Creator want. 85yrs is no joke. Meanwhile, our Creator actually wanted me and you to live forever as long as we obeyed him. Genesis 2:16, 17. Unfortunately, the first couples almighty God created disobeyed God and unfortunately, they have not yet have birth. Genesis 3:1-6. They have already committed the sin of disobedience and so sin was passed on to everyone on earth. That’s why we grow old and die. Romans 5:12. However, there’s hope the Creator will still restore everlasting life Psalm 37:29. and even resurrect those who have died. Acts 24:15; John 5:28, 29.
He also registered Nigeria into the O I C. That is causing more harm to the progress paul Aligwe of the Country since then.
Yes sowore he spoke the truth about this man.
I think this is one of a kind our country needs at this point of government ship
Exactly, he is the one that promoted corruption and very bad ruler, he never seen anything he will still suffer more, he will reap every single of what he sow.
Wow
No peace for the wicked. No pity for the pitiless. While his cronies wish him whatever, I wish him the pain that he brought upon Nigeria till his last breathe.
