A star-studded gathering of political heavyweights from Nigeria and beyond came together for the much-anticipated launch of General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida’s memoir, A Journey in Service. Held at the prestigious Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja.
The event was attended by a distinguished lineup of dignitaries, including Nigeria’s current President Bola Tinubu, former Presidents Goodluck Jonathan and Yakubu Gowon, former military leader Abdulsalami Abubakar, and Ghana’s former President Nana Akufo-Addo.
The book launch, set against the backdrop of a presidential library fundraising event, marks a significant moment in Nigeria’s political history. Babangida, known for his role in the country’s military and political landscape, is sharing his personal journey through his memoir, offering insights into his years of service and the complexities of Nigeria’s past.
The IBB Presidential Library Foundation, which oversees the event, expressed that the memoir’s launch is not just about commemorating Babangida’s legacy, but also a call for support to preserve and promote Nigeria’s political history through the foundation’s library.
As the evening unfolded, a unique blend of nostalgia, reflection, and forward-looking dialogue filled the air, drawing attention to the enduring influence of the country’s past leaders in shaping the present.
