Former military president, General Ibrahim Babangida, has said that he has quit partisan politics, but added that he will, henceforth, provide advisory services to the nation as a statesman.
He made the disclosure at the Daily Trust 9th Annual Dialogue at the Transcorp Hilton in Abuja Thursday.
Drawing inspiration from former US President Richard Nixon who once told the US media he would no longer be in the public glare for bashing, Babangida said: “I have news for you my media friends: you will never see Ibrahim Babangida again.
Today, my dear media friends, although I will continue to be involved by playing advisory role, I have decided never to seek political office in this country again.”
He added that though, he had left office more than 20 years ago, “I am still a substance for bashing from the media.”
