Babangida, in an interview with Channels Television on Friday, attributed the lack of true federalism in Nigeria to past military interventions. He asserted that the era of military interference in politics has concluded because Nigerians now aspire to establish a genuinely democratic nation.

Reflecting on his military leadership, Babangida emphasized that he played a role in liberating the economy by allowing the private sector to flourish as the country’s economic hub. Additionally, he advocated for empowering states with more autonomy, believing that devolving powers and resources to the states would enable effective governance in a federal system.

Expressing his stance on the issue of mass emigration, Babangida proposed creating an enabling environment within Nigeria that motivates citizens to contribute to the development of their own country. He envisioned a scenario where Nigerians choose to remain in their homeland rather than seeking opportunities abroad.

Addressing concerns about the possibility of Nigeria becoming a one-party state, Babangida dismissed such fears, asserting that Nigerians would resist any attempts to establish a dictatorship. He advocated for a two-party system to streamline political processes and reduce the financial and logistical challenges associated with a multi-party state. Furthermore, he suggested that independent candidates be allowed to contest political offices, provided they have sufficient support.

Babangida, who ruled Nigeria for eight years from 1985 to 1993, acknowledged the historical prevalence of military rule in the country but expressed optimism that Nigerians’ commitment to democracy would prevent a return to authoritarian governance.
