During the public presentation of Babangida’s autobiography, “A Journey in Service”, at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja last week, Osinbajo who was the book reviewer, recalled how Tinubu, then a senator, resisted the dissolution of the senate by the military government, following the annulment of the June 12, 1993, presidential election.

He jocularly said that Tinubu who was then tormented by the military including Babangida for attempting to reconstitute the dissolved senate was at the event to honour one of his tormentors.

But speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Tuesday, Onanuga faulted the statement by Osinbajo, saying that Babangida was an inspiration for Tinubu charting a course in politics.

“I think the former Vice President got it wrong. I think Babangida was not really a tormentor of President Tinubu, don’t forget that President Tinubu said in his own extempore speech that he held Babangida as something, that he was the person that inspired him to get into politics.
