Spokesman of former military President Ibrahim Babaginda said the statement he issued earlier on Sunday was endorsed by Babangida.
Kassim Afegbua said this when he appeared as a guest on Channels Television Programme Sunday Politics.
“I have been doing this job for 13 years now. I have never issued a statement on behalf of General Babangida and you get a rebuttal.
“I extracted a commitment from him (Babangida) before I issued that statement. The former military president authorised the statement I issued. I didn’t just put out the statement on my own.”
The Former Military President on Sunday, January 4 distanced himself from the statement credited to him and signed by his media aide, Mr Kassim Afegbua.
