Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida

Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, often referred to as IBB, is a retired Nigerian military general and politician who served as the military Head of State of Nigeria from 1985 to 1993. His regime is marked by significant political changes, economic challenges, and controversies, especially surrounding the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, which is widely regarded as one of Nigeria's freest and fairest elections. Babangida has faced criticism for his governance and has been accused of human rights abuses during his rule. Recently, his autobiography, 'A Journey in Service', faced backlash from student groups who claimed it was an attempt to shift blame regarding the annulment of the election.
