Jonathan was not incompetent but inexperienced says IBB

Abuja- General Ibrahim Babangida has said ex President, Goodluck Jonathan’s undoing was inexperience rather than incompetence.

Speaking with The Interview magazine in the December 2015 edition which is currently on sale, Babangida said Jonathan “is a very pleasant person” and said he believed the former president meant well for the country.

On Jonathan’s personality he said : “If you use inexperience, I will buy that.”

 Babangida who did not elaborate on what he tagged inexperience, refused to disclose whom he really supported between Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari, who eventually won the election. 

Babangida overthrew Buhari in a bloodless coup in 1985. Asked if he played a double game by declaring support for both men when they visited him, Babangida said he was “intelligent enough” to know that he had “only one vote”.
