Babangida returns home ‘healthier and kicking like an old soldier’

Ibrahim Babangida

Former Military Head of State, Ibrahim Babangida on Friday, returned to Nigeria after a three week medical trip to a German hospital.

Some sections of the media reported his rumoured death last week but it was later discovered that he was in Germany, where he was receiving treatment.

Niger State governor, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello who announced the return of Babangida from the medical trip said, “despite unfounded rumour about the life of our national icon, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, we are grateful that it pleases Allah (SWT) to preserve his life and bring him back safely and healthier to continue in the good work of nation building.”

“General Ibrahim Babangida remains one of the few leaders in this country that we still need around to tap from their wealth of experience and knowledge and we are grateful he is back and kicking like the old soldier he is.”

“Your safe return has finally put a lie to the rumour and the evil machinations of those who are playing God. We are grateful to Allah (SWT) that He has silence them”.

“It is high time media practitioners, especially those in the social media refrain from broadcasting or publishing falsehood. Aside from questioning the integrity of the media, it portend danger for the society that the media cannot be trusted.”

“The media should be guided by the ethics of the profession. If you are not sure, don’t share. The social media purported death of General Babangida was reckless, unethical and unwarranted.”
