Former Military President, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, stated that Nigerians would reject a one-party system, emphasizing their resistance to dictatorship.
Speaking on Channels TV’s Inside Sources with Laolu Akande, Babangida, who ruled Nigeria from 1985 to 1993, stated, “I have been in a military regime, and the Nigerians I know won’t allow a one-party state.
I have been a military man, and I know dictatorship is not good and can’t be good in a civil society.”
Regarding the two-party system, IBB expressed support, saying, “Immediately after independence, Nigeria tended to gravitate towards a two-party system.
The number of parties formed a coalition to gain power. It happened in the first and second republics. It showed up again in the third republic and the current republic.”
He underscored the benefits of a two-party system, stating, “At the time, we believed Nigerians were capable of a two-party system because it saves you a lot of ‘wahala’ and no rancour. You can choose from A or B.”
