Former Military President, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida (rtd) has denied reports that he endorsed Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, ahead of the 2023 general elections.
General Ibbro, a Twitter account, had tweeted, on Tuesday, that Babangida had supported former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s endorsement of Mr. Obi.
The tweet read; “Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo will forever be a true elder statesman and a boss in the military. No serving General in the Nigerian Army today joined the military earlier than 1982. By then, Obasanjo had already finished his military career. I respect him a lot, with his endorsement”.

When contacted, spokesman of the former military leader, Prince Kassim Afegbua, denied that the gap-toothed retired Amry General had endorsed Mr. Obi, claiming that IBB does not have a Twitter account.
According to Afegbua, “It is not true please. Ignore the report of the endorsement. IBB doesn’t have a Twitter handle. If he is going to speak, it will be through a signed statement, not Twitter. Those behind the Twitter statement are liars”.
