In an interview on Channels Television, IBB disclosed his efforts to befriend Fawehinmi during his tenure in power, emphasizing that despite his attempts, the renowned activist remained aloof. Babangida expressed his admiration for Fawehinmi, describing him as a good critic, but acknowledged the reluctance on Fawehinmi’s part to associate with someone perceived negatively.
“He (Fawehinmi) is a good critic, and he doesn’t want to be seen with someone that people already perceived as ‘an evil genius,’” IBB explained. Despite his genuine interest in forming a connection with Fawehinmi, the late lawyer was hesitant to establish a friendship with the former military leader.
IBB reminisced about the futile attempts made by one of his ministers, the late Alex Akinyele, to bridge the gap between him and Fawehinmi. He recounted their shared attempts to foster a friendship but noted that Fawehinmi resisted due to the negative public perception.
Reflecting on his appreciation for Fawehinmi’s intellect, IBB admitted that he valued the late activist’s perspectives. He revealed that whenever his administration formulated a new policy, he would inquire about Fawehinmi’s potential response, indicating the significance of the activist’s opinions in shaping decisions.
The former military head of state highlighted his fondness for bright minds and emphasized that he consistently conveyed to his cabinet members that their involvement in his administration was driven by a shared commitment to the best interests of Nigeria. Despite the challenges in forming a personal connection with Gani Fawehinmi, IBB acknowledged the late activist’s positive qualities and influence on decision-making during his leadership.
