Sani, a human rights activist and former vice chairman of the Campaign for Democracy, described Babangida as a \"great Nigerian\" in a post on X, celebrating the 85th birthday of the former leader. He acknowledged Babangida's unmatched infrastructural development strides in Nigeria, despite his own imprisonment in the 1990s for treason following a military tribunal.",
