The former military president disclosed this in a statement issued by his
media office Monday.The
statement by his media office said, “The attention of General Ibrahim
Badamasi Babangida (GCFR), has been drawn to the existence of several twitter
handles and other social media accounts, purportedly owned by him.
“In the light of the unfortunate development, the Media handlers of the former
Military President wish to inform the general public, particularly the
“Social Media” community that IBB, as is fondly called,
currently has no active twitter account and does not operate any other social
media site.
“Also, we wish to state categorically that the twitter handles bearing the name
and photographs of General Babangida are fictitious. Their creation by
unscrupulous elements is aimed at misleading unsuspecting members of the
public.
“Accordingly, we wish to advise the social media community and the general
public to be wary of the ‘IBB’ fake accounts, mischievous online stories and
discountenance whatever message conveyed therein about the revered Nigerian
leader.”
