Nigeria’s former military President, Ibrahim Babangida, has said the country will not witness any other military coup in its history.

Babangida said the era of military incursion into the country’s politics has come to an end because Nigerians have become more interested in becoming a truly democratic nation.

Speaking in an interview on Channels Television’s Inside Sources on Friday, the former military leader stated that military interference robbed Nigeria of true federalism and development.

He said: “I think that is (failure to achieve true federalism) one of the effects of the aberration that the military regime, it countered the democratic process.

“Such things happen, but I believe it will not happen again because Nigerians are becoming more interested in becoming a truly democratic nation in Africa and such a thing, I don’t think it will happen.”

Babangida, however, said that as a military leader, he freed the economy by allowing the private sector to be the hub of the economy of the country.
