This comprehensive memoir offers an in-depth look into Babangida’s personal life, military career, and his pivotal role in Nigeria’s political landscape.

Overview of ‘A Journey in Service’

Spanning 420 pages, ‘A Journey in Service’ chronicles Babangida’s journey from his early days in Minna, Niger State, to his ascent as Nigeria’s military president. The memoir delves into significant events that shaped the nation, providing Babangida’s personal perspectives on:

  • The 1976 Coup: Insights into the events leading up to and following the coup that resulted in General Murtala Mohammed’s assassination.
  • The Civil War: Babangida’s experiences and reflections during Nigeria’s tumultuous period.
  • The June 12, 1993 Election Annulment: A candid discussion on the controversial annulment and its aftermath.

In a notable revelation, Babangida acknowledges that MKO Abiola won the June 12, 1993, presidential election, expressing regret over the annulment—a decision he describes as “the most challenging moment” of his life.
