Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB), former military president, will launch an autobiography titled ‘A Journey of Service’ on February 20.
Seven years ago, IBB expressed doubts about writing an autobiography, saying he was uncertain if Nigerians would “want to read about a dictator”.
He added that the public has a wrong impression of him, citing his role in the June 12 crisis, and some of the controversial policies he unfurled between 1985 to 1993 as head of a junta.
In an invite dispatched to dignitaries this week, the board of trustees of the IBB Presidential Library Foundation announced that the book launch will take place alongside a fundraising for a presidential library, at the Congress Hall of Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja.
The organisers said the event would be chaired by Olusegun Obasanjo, a former president; with President Bola Tinubu as the special guest of honour.
The keynote address would be delivered by Nana Akufo-Addo, former president of Ghana. Yemi Osinbajo, former vice-president, would review the autobiography.
Other guests billed to attend include ex-presidents Muhammadu Buhari, Yakubu Gowon, Abdulsalami Abubakar, and Goodluck Jonathan.
Theophilus Danjuma, aformer minister of defence; andAbdul Samad Rabiu, chairman of BUA Group; were named as chief launchers.
