IBB’s spokesperson, Kassim
Afegbua, on Sunday rubbished rumour of his death.
The social media had been full with rumour of IBB’s death.
Former Military Head of
State, General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, IBB (Rtd), is not dead contrary to
rumour on social media.
Afegbua, in a statement,
said the former head of state is alive and bubbling, saying that it had become
consistent fake news for quite some time now for people wishing IBB 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,” he said.
According to him, “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.”
