I Don't Use Twitter - IBB

Former military president Gen Ibrahim Babangida has denied having or using any twitter handles for posting political suggestions or views.

The Sun reports that this claim came after a twitter account with handle, ‘@genu_ ibb’ churned out articles and claimed they were coming from him Babangida (IBB).

“This is to inform members of the Nigerian public and the international community, that I do not have a twitter handle by whatever name. Those who have grown over the years to know men clearly understand my style and position on national and international issues.

“I cannot descend to the level of using gutter language on anyone or any issue about persons, individuals or establishments. All those commentaries on the twitter account are purely the opinion of an impostor who is trying to tarnish my image.

“At this age and time, I cannot hide under any guise to purport to be speaking when I should actually speak. I have my own style which is peculiar to me.
“The general public should therefore disregard any tweet from that address by way of opinion comments, suggestion or otherwise. When I need to speak, I know what I have to speak on and at what point I should do so and the medium to express same. This impostor hurts my sensibilities and should therefore be disregarded,” the statement in part reads on the Sun.
