In a stout rebuttal to the assertion, Babangida alleged that sense may indeed have departed from Clark and hence his disregard for the historic role he (Babangida) played in unifying the country.
Affirming that he had no reason to play politics with the issue having left the 'political industry', Babangida traced the difficulties of the Jonathan administration to divisive people he said were of the same mindset with Clark, who have prevented the present administration from seeking reasonable counsel from those that could help it.
He specifically alluded to former Heads of State who he claimed were not being consulted by the present administration.
Babangida spoke in response to Clark's claims last Wednesday that some northern leaders were behind the increasing spate of violence in the country.
