An old and rare photo of Maryam Babangida, wife of General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, with Princess of Wales, Diana, the mother of Prince William and Prince Harry of the British royal family has emerged.

The people of the southeast geopolitical zone have been urged by the former military leader, Gen. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB), to ensure that Nigerians continue to feel their positive impact.

As President Muhammadu Buhari gets set for a new cabinet with a ministerial list to the Senate, some of his former ministers may have lost out.

In the heat of the suspense that followed the 1993 presidential election which was declared as the freest and fairest in Nigeria's history, then head of state, General Babangida, annulled the election, in a broadcast to the world.

Edewor, a former member of the House of Representatives, said successive governments failed to accord the late business mogul and politician honour due to him by recognising what June 12 stood for in Nigeria’s political history.

A new survey by NOIPolls has highlighted mixed reactions trailing President Buhari’s declaration of June 12 as the new Democracy Day. 56% of Nigerians commended Buhari’s decision while 44% did not support the declaration.

President Buhari, on Tuesday, June 12, conferred the GCFR honour, posthumously on Moshood Kashimawo Abiola, the winner of the June 12, 1993 general election which was annulled by then military Head of State, Ibrahim Babangida.

Dele Momodu, the publisher of Ovation Magazine and a close associate to the late Moshood Abiola has said that he is making efforts to ensure that key players of the June 12 saga offer apologies for different roles played.

A former national chairman of Social Democratic Party (SDP), Tony Anenih, has said that Nigeria's 1993 self-acclaimed president, late Moshood Abiola appealed to the then military head of state for an opportunity to lead Nigeria.
