Babagana Kingibe has been deceiving the world that he left his position as Vice President to the late Chief MKO Abiola to serve as Minister of Internal Affairs to Abacha in the National Interest. This is a blatant lie from the pit of hell. On pages 59 and 60 in my Book: HEROES OF DEMOCRACY published in 1999, I wrote this:
“ General Abacha did more damage to June 12 in the formation of his Cabinate. But the damage was more on the side of few pillars June 12 who accepted to serve in the Abacha regime.
They are Chief Olu Onagoruwa, Chief Ebenezer Babatope, Alhaji Rimi Abubakar, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, Dr Iyorchia Ayu, and Alex Ibru. But the greatest assault on June 12 was perfected by Ambassador Babagana Kingibe , Chief Abiola’s running mate. Kingibe’s Coup on Abiola and June 12 remains the greatest betrayal the struggle suffered and Ambassador Kingibe will for a lifetime continue to explain why he did what he did. Kingibe’s action of abandoning his post as Vice President Elect to accept to serve as Minister portrayed him as agent provocateur and a spoiler.
When Kingibe declared his intention to run for the highest office in the land towards the end of 1992, he invited Media Executives in Lagos to seek their support. Kingibe stunned the Media Executives into disbelief when he told them that that it is unrealistic for any Southerner to seek the highest office because a Southerner can never win a presidential election in Nigeria. So even when Kingibe accepted to be Abiola’s running mate he had never believed that Chief Abiola will emerge victorious on a June 12 1993. He had thought like Babangida that Bashir Tofa will win. My letter to Kingibe was published in the Punch of April 22 1994 and you can find it on page 60 of HEROES OF DEMOCRACY.
