President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has revealed that former Military President, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB), played a pivotal role in his entry into politics.
Speaking on Thursday at the launch of IBB’s autobiography, “A Journey in Service,” Tinubu acknowledged Babangida’s influence in fostering young political leaders.
“Without your influence, people like me would not be in politics,” Tinubu said.
“Your progressive vision for involving young, talented individuals has inspired many, including those here today. This library project reflects the happiness of visionary leadership. Thank you for being who you are,” he added.
Tinubu also commended Babangida’s economic reforms, particularly the licensing of new-generation banks, which transformed Nigeria’s financial landscape.
He described IBB’s decision to delay the inauguration of federal lawmakers 33 years ago as a bold move that characterized his leadership.
