5. General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida
Another name mentioned in the infamous Halliburton Scandal, General Babangida is another Nigerian who remains ever powerful.
Fondly referred to as ‘Maradona’, the former Military president has been acting behind the scene since he left office in 1993.
He is mostly famous in the Nigerian political sphere for his annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential which late Moshood Kashimawo Abiola was believed to have won among other corruption allegations.
Many groups and bodies have called for his probe as they believe his regime was the most corrupt of all former Nigerian military heads, but like others on this list, he remains one of those President Buhari is yet to invite for questioning.
Perhaps, a day is coming when the Halliburton scandal would be reopened and he would be mentioned for questioning. But at the moment, he remains an untouchable political figure operating from the background.
Even Wikipedia refers to him as a member of the Peoples Democratic Party.
