Former Military President, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB), has penned an emotional tribute to Nigeria’s late former President, Muhammadu Buhari, describing him as a principled leader and lifelong patriot whose sincerity he said he never doubted.
In a personally signed statement on Monday, Babangida expressed profound grief over Buhari’s passing, recalling their decades-long bond that began in 1962 at the Nigerian Military Training College in Kaduna.
IBB reflected on the evolution of their relationship, noting that it went far beyond professional camaraderie.
