Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has advised General Ibrahim Babangida to disregard critics of his autobiography, “A Journey in Service,” citing his own experience with critics.
Obasanjo made this remark at the unveiling of Babangida’s autobiography and the launch of his presidential library in Abuja.
Obasanjo shared a personal anecdote about his own critic, late Tunji Braithwaite, who condemned his book without reading it.
He emphasized the importance of documenting history and encouraged Babangida to focus on objective criticism.
Babangida’s autobiography has generated significant attention, particularly his admission that Moshood Abiola won the annulled 1993 presidential election.
Obasanjo’s advice to Babangida reflects his own experience with criticism and the importance of perseverance in the face of adversity.
