No apologies for “Ä Journey In Service,” writes SULEIMAN ABUBAKAR
·
The hoopla generated by General Babangida’s memoir, “A Journey In Service” was typically synonymous with his larger than life image; an image that is immersed in “controversy”. Anything Babangida, for good or bad, right or wrong is always a piece of news. Babangida comes with several octopoidal parts, representing a community of pro-and anti-Babangida sentiments. The man enjoys such mix as the ideal combination of human emanations. His book has already worn the garment of controversy, a mix of several interpretations and potpourri of ideas, realities and occurrences that factorized the former president’s trajectory from birth till date. The man seems to enjoy all the “noises” and “controversies” as he watches the human follies in us, trying to assume his authorial presence in a deliberate effort to “rewrite” the man’s memoirs.
