Last night, Gen. Babangida’s son Mohammed told The Nation through a media aide that the second statement personally signed by the former military president is his true position on the state of the nation.

He said Gen. Babangida would not issue a statement without reading thorough it thoroughly to ensure that it represents his opinion.

He said Afeghua was not authorized to issue that statement purportedly on behalf of Gen. Babangida.

He said Afegbua was told to withdraw it but he declined and instead insisted it was authentic.
