IBB Should Be Jailed, You’re Telling Us You Annulled June 12 Election For Nigeria’ Good -Rev Chukwuma

Retired Archbishop of Enugu Province (Anglican Communion), Most Rev. Emmanuel Chukwuma, has strongly criticized former military ruler General Ibrahim Babangida over his recent statement about the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election.

According to The Sun, Chukwuma disclosed that he was in Bauchi at the time of the election and closely followed the events. He recalled meeting MKO Abiola during his campaign in Jos and emphasized that religion was not an issue. He explained that although Abiola and his running mate were both Muslims, Nigerians supported them because they believed the leadership would save the country. He stressed that the election, conducted by Humphrey Nwosu, was credible and widely accepted.

Chukwuma stated that Babangida’s claim of annulling the election for Nigeria’s benefit was completely false and Babangida should be jailed. He said “If I have my way IBB should be jailed for that type of statement and for taking the entire country for a ride.”

Speaking further, Chukwuma also said, “Now you are telling us that you annulled that election for the good of Nigeria, to save Nigeria, which is absolute lie, absolute nonsense”
