Babangida denies statement advising buhari 2019 presidency

I think there may be some confusion here.

I'm not aware of any credible sources that suggest Ibrahim Babangida, a former Nigerian military head of state, ever made a statement advising President Muhammadu Buhari to run for the 2019 presidential election.

In fact, Babangida has been known to be a vocal critic of Buhari's administration, particularly with regards to the handling of the country's economy and security challenges.

It's possible that you may have come across a misleading or satirical article or social media post that attributed such a statement to Babangida. If you have any more information or a specific source that you'd like to share, I'd be happy to help clarify things for you.
