Former military President,
Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, has reacted to rumours making the rounds that he is
dead.
Reports on Sunday emerged on
social media that IBB died in the early hours of Sunday.
However, a statement signed by
IBB’s spokesman, Prince Kassim Afegbua described the report as ‘fake news.
The statement reads, “It has
become consistent fake news for quite some time now wishing our own IBB, the
one we easily refer to as “the last don” of Nigeria politics, dead.
“The “fake news bill” would be a
suitable response to this category of fake news carrier.
“IBB is very much alive and
bubbling. He just started attending to friends and associates who came to see
him today, Sunday, 15th December, 2019 right here at his Minna Hilltop mansion.
He is full of life and in his characteristic bubbling mood.
“May Allah forgive those who wish
IBB dead. God is the giver and taker of life, not humans. Death, as the
irrevocable end of all creation, will surely come to everyone some day and at
the appointed time and hour, but to deliberately spread fake news and wish
someone dead, is to take humanity to another bizarre level. May Allah forgive
them. IBB, by the special grace of Allah, the omniscient and omnipotent One,
shall live to fulfill his journey and destiny in life, to the consternation of
those who are always wishing him dead. This is about the third time this year.
“We wish to thank those who took
time to reach out to us, home and abroad, to find out the truth. We thank you
all for your love, care and concern. May Allah grant us all good health, sound
mind and long life. Amin.”
