Tinubu Once Said Babangida Inspired Him To Become A Politician – Bayo Onanuga

The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga has come out to dismiss Yemi Osinbajo’s claim that Ibrahim Babangida was among those who tormented Tinubu during the military era.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he disagrees with Osinbajo completely because Babangida was, in fact, a major influence on Tinubu’s political journey.

He added that President Tinubu himself has acknowledged that Babangida inspired him to go into politics.

His words, “I think the former Vice President got it wrong. Babangida was not really a tormentor of President Tinubu. Don’t forget that in his own speech at the event, Tinubu acknowledged that Babangida inspired him to go into politics.

The military president had talked about bringing in fresh faces, and many professionals, including Tinubu, heeded that call. So, he went there (the book launch) to pay homage.”

WOW.
