Former presidential candidate and businessman, Dr Gbenga Hashim, has commended former Head of State, General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB), for acknowledging his past mistakes and offering an apology to the nation.

In a statement by his media department, yesterday, Hashim described the move as a crucial step toward national healing and reconciliation.

Hashim, who was detained without trial under Babangida’s military regime, said though he was invited to the launch of IBB’s book, he was unable to attend.

He said he later visited the former Head of State to congratulate him on the success of the project, which had sparked widespread debate across the country.
