A former Nigerian military President, Ibrahim Babangida, has said there would not be any military coup in the country again.

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.

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.

Nigeria witnessed a lot of military incursions in its politics after independence, with men in uniform ruling the country for more years than civilians until 1999.
