After months of denials and playing the ostrich, Nigeria's former military ruler, General Ibrahim Babangida, has declared his intention to contest for president in the 2011 poll. The former self-styled military president let the cat out of the bag yesterday at the Benin Airport where he made a stopover on his way to Asaba, the Delta State capital. Babangida was a guest at a memorial event in honour of Mariam, his late wife.
