IBB: Anticipates ‘Part 2’ for more truth to emerge – Sen. Kalu

Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, representing Abia North Senatorial District, has expressed anticipation for a second part of former Military President Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida’s (IBB) autobiography, where he expects more truths to be revealed.

According to reports, in his book, A Journey In Service, Babangida confirmed that the late Chief Moshood Abiola won the June 12 presidential election, which was annulled under his administration.

In a statement on his 𝕏 handle, Senator Kalu called on the government to grant Abiola greater recognition as a former President, emphasizing that Abiola was driven by his deep love for humanity and deserved formal acknowledgment.

He wrote: “Congratulations to former President Ibrahim Babaginda on the launch of his book which among other things provided the platform for an open declaration, validity and sanctity of the June 12, 1993 Presidential elections won by Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola (MKO). We still await the Part 2 of this book where more truths will be revealed.

“My vivid recollection of the mindset and motivation of MKO is all about humanity. Therefore a major requirement for a classical hero is not only immortalization but by recognition which should include proper position in the hall of Fame.

“Thankfully this recognition started with former President Buhari when the June 12 was recognized by an Act of the Parliament’ in the 8th NASS and signed into law by former President Muhammed Buhari recognising June 12 as democracy day. And later the conferment of the highest title GCFR on MKO Abiola.

“I am now appealing to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to crown existent honour with MKO Abiola’s portrait in the line up of past Presidents and current. I believe it’s the right thing to do for redemption,justice and fairness. May Nigeria know peace, experience prosperity, healing, and lasting unity.”
