On Monday, Mr Tinubu took over the reins of power from ex-President Muhammadu Buhari.
Mr Babangida added, “He has to do that because the armed forces have undergone a lot of processes that need to be put together and make it an efficient, well-led armed forces.”
Praising Mr Tinubu as a skilful politician, the former military dictator urged him to deploy his political skills to unite the country.
