Former military Head of State, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida says the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has a military wing comprising top Generals.

According to Daily Trust, Babangida made the revelation on Saturday in a meeting while receiving the report of the Senator Ahmed Makarfi committee on “strategy and inter party Affairs” led by professor Jerry Gana at his uphill residence, Minna, Niger state.

He named Lt General Theophillus Yakubu Danjuma,General Olusegun Obasanjo, General Aliyu Mohammed, among others as members of the wing.

Speaking further, Babaginda said members of the wing took special interest in the party as he likened the PDP’s formative stage to that of the Irish Republican Army.

He said, “We are the military wing of PDP, we took a lot of interest in the PDP.

“I termed us IRA military wing of PDP; I thank God we came up with the concept that PDP should rule for 60 years,” he noted.

The former head of state reiterated his belief that a two party system remained the best option for Nigeria, as it provides the people with a choice.

Babangida said the PDP was the only party with acceptability across all divides.
