TimesNow.com.ng earlier reported that President Bola Tinubu had recalled occasions when former military head of state General Ibrahim Babangida inspired him to venture into politics.
The president recalled when Babangida summoned him and others that he wanted young Nigerians to join politics.
Tinubu further recalled when he challenged Babangida and thought he would end up in jail but the then-military leader gave him a handshake for being courageous.
