Former military president, Ibrahim Babangida, says “inexperience” rather than “incompetence” was the right word to describe former President Goodluck Jonathan who lost his re-election bid in March. Speaking with The Interview magazine in the December 2015 edition which is currently on sale, Babangida said Jonathan “is a very pleasant person” and said he believed the former president meant well for the country. Asked about the perception that Jonathan is a good person but was “incompetent”, Babangida replied:
“If you use inexperience, I will buy that.” He refused to disclose whom he really supported between Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari, who eventually won the election.
