Former President Goodluck
Jonathan has stated that ex-Head of State, Ibrahim Babangida still has a lot to
offer Nigeria.
Jonathan stated this in his

leader and committed patriot.
In a message of goodwill to the
ex-leader, Jonathan said, “our dear nation still has more to reap from your
wealth of experience and deep wisdom in its journey to greatness.”

former governor of Abia State and eminent businessman, Dr Orji Uzor Kalu,
described IBB as “a gift, a rallying point for national discourse and a uniting
factor in our polity.”
He said the former military head
of State had “built men and women and grown a generation of leaders for our
dear country.”
