Mamman Jiya Vatsa, says the just released memoir of former military Head of State, Gen.

It\u2019s a collection of distorted facts that cannot be a reference book for young and upcoming generations but rather for criminals,\u201d Jonathan Vatsa said.<\/p>\n<p>He questioned Babangida\u2019s identity, citing his admission of changing his name from Badamosi to Babangida to associate with the northern region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNortherners don\u2019t bear the name Badamosi; it\u2019s synonymous with the South-West people,\u201d Vatsa said.<\/p>\n<p>The former Niger State APC publicity secretary accused Babangida of lying about the June 12 election annulment, stating that it was Babangida\u2019s decision, not General Sani Abacha\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow can he lie that Abacha annulled the election when he was in control as Head of State?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately the man he accused of annulling the June 12 and all the actors in the June 12 controversy are no more today to tell their own story and that is why no serious minded individual should take the book serious,\u201d the Vatsa family spokesman added.<\/p>\n<p>He further lamented that even in death, Babangida has refused to allow late General Vatsa and his family have peace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIBB is still troubling the dead man and his entire family. Well people have seen the end of our brother, but Babangida doesn\u2019t know how he will end.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur joy is that the reactions of Nigerians after the so-called book presentation shows that the killing of late General Vatsa was done out of envy, malice and hatred.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recall that Babangida ordered the execution of Vatsa for allegedly plotting a coup against his junta in 1986 The family of late Gen.
