Former president General Ibrahim Badamasi #Babangida has stated the reason the June 12, 1993, presidential election was widely regarded as the freest and fairest in the country’s political history: it was simply because comprehensive civic responsibility education of potential voters was done.

Speaking exclusively to LEADERSHIP Sunday at his hilltop mansion in #Minna, Niger State, at the weekend, the retired general further explained that people were motivated to perform their duty to their country by giving them the assurance that their votes would count during the June election.

“I think we did the best we could at that time to carry along everybody by educating everybody to do their civic responsibility, that they have to be part of it, their vote will count and all that, before going into the election. I think they have been motivated to play their duty to this country,” he said.
