France May Return IBB's Loot
Written by The Punch, Nigeria
Another misfortune is befalling former dictator, General Ibrahim Babangida. Only a month after his political dreams crashed, the government of France has now offered to track and return all the billions of dollars stolen by Babangida during his military regime.
PDP presidential candidate and Governor of Katsina State, Mr. Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, is demonstrating what kind of president he will be, as he lobbies former military dictators, Ibrahim Babangida and Abdulsalami Abubakar for support during the forthcoming elections.
Babangida has found a new lover in Buhari. The former dictators are already in a political honeymoon, where General Ibrahim Babangida is receiving rehabilitation for the damage done to his previous marriage to the People's Democratic Party. The wedding gift from General Mohammadu Buhari is for IBB to select Buhari's running mate.
“Who does this man think he is? He wants to come back to do what? Is it to impose more hardships on us; to steal more of our money and kill more of our people? If it remains one person to fight against this man with all his might and means, that man will be Gani Fawehinmi. ...We must resist and oppose him.” - Gani Fawehinmi, Human Rights Lawyer.
