A complex situation that may be too hot to handle may soon erupt between
two former heads of states, General Buhari and General Babangida over
political differences.
Babagida has threatened to bring up an issue that seems likely to create conflicts if not quenched now.
“On
Gen. Buhari, it is not in IBB’s tradition to take up issues with his
colleague former President. But for the purpose of record, we are
conversant with Gen. Buhari’s so-called holier-than-thou attitude.
“He
is a one-time Minister of Petroleum and we have good records of his
tenure as minister. Secondly, he also presided over the Petroleum Trust
Fund ( PTF) which records we also have. We challenge him to come out
with clean hands in those two portfolios he headed. Or, we will help him
to expose his “records of performance during those periods. Those who
live in glass houses do not throw stones. Gen. Buhari should be properly
guided.”
The above statement was issued by the former ministry
head of states, General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida through his media
adviser, Prince Kassim Afegbua. The gap toothed retired military officer
has threatened to expose the shady deals his colleague, General Buhari
did while in office as Petroleum Minister.
If you remember,
Buhari once held that mouthwatering position during the Murtala/Obasanjo
regime in 1976. No fraud was recorded then aside the missing $2.8B
