Ex-Military head of state, Ibrahim Babangida, has dissociated himself from a parody Twitter account which bears his name and has his pictures

Recall that a twitter handle with over 5000 followers bearing the name Ibrahim Babangida, once congratulated Atiku Abubakar for winning the PDP’s presidential ticket and declared its support.

It also dissed President Muhammad Buhari for his trips abroad. “It has been brought to my understanding that Atiku cannot travel to some part of the world; well, I think I will prefer a President who will spend most of his time dealing with Nigerians in Nigeria, not a someone who already knows the route to all the countries like a Pilot,” the fake account tweeted .
