A former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said that former military Head of State, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida (rtd) has contributed to documenting history.
Obasanjo disclosed this on Thursday in Abuja while speaking at the unveiling of Babangida’s book titled, “A Journey in Service”.
He said Babangida should expect good, bad, and ugly reactions to the book he has written.
Obasanjo stated: “You have not only contributed to history, you have contributed documenting to history.
“It is an important part of our nation building to keep accurate records. Please don’t be unduly worried about critics and put him down syndrome.
“It may even be an indication of success, but take note of objective criticism. A chronic critic of mine, the late Tunji Braithwhite, may his soul rest in perfect peace, condemned a book of mine, and when asked if he had read it, he answered in the negative, he said he had not read it, and said that once the writer is Obasanjo was the writer. It must be condemned.”
