I did not reject President Tinubu’s appointment – Babangida’s Son
Mohammed Babangida, son of former Military President Ibrahim Babangida, has dismissed as false a letter circulating on social media claiming he declined an appointment as Chairman of the Board of the Bank of Agriculture (BOA).
Speaking on the matter, one of his media aides, Alhaji Mahmud Abdullahi, described the letter as entirely fabricated, attributing it to individuals he called “disgruntled elements” attempting to spread misinformation.
He emphasised that no such letter was written or authorised by Babangida.
“Mohammed Babangida did not reject the appointment. The letter circulating is fake. Infact, the signature is not that of Mohamed Babangida, while the telephone lines quoted are not his.
“We wish to clarify that Mohammed has gratefully accepted the appointment as Chairman of the Bank of Agriculture as announced by the federal government and therefore extends his sincere appreciation to President Tinubu for the trust and confidence bestowed upon him.
“We also want to assure the public that those spreading these falsehoods will be thoroughly investigated and brought to justice. We remain committed to transparency, accountability, and fostering unity within our nation,” Mahmud declared.
It will be recalled that Mohammed Babangida’s appointment was among several strategic appointments approved by President Tinubu last week to strengthen leadership across key government institutions.
