Breaking: IBB overthrew me in 1985 because I wanted to probe him, others for corruption – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has finally opened up on why he was overthrown as the military Head of State 31 years ago by Gen. Ibrahim Babangida.
Buhari, while speaking with The Interview, said his government was toppled from office because he was planning to purge the military hierarchy of corruption.

But in an earlier edition of the magazine last December, Babangida had said that that there was nothing in the memo which Buhari said he submitted to the Army council.
IBB said: “Don’t forget that I was one of Buhari’s closest aides. I was the chief of army staff. So, I had an important position, an important role to play within that administration. I don’t think it had to do with a memo.”
But in a tone which suggested that the past may neither have been forgotten nor forgiven, Buhari challenged Babangida and Gusau to come clean on why they removed him, asking The Interview to choose whose story to believe.”
