Former Nigeria Military Head of
State, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, has told Senate President, Bukola
Saraki that he will support him in his bid to become president just the way his
late father supported him during his failed presidential ambition.
“It is my turn to do what your
father did to me”, Babangida said.
He said this when Saraki visited
him in Minna, Niger State, as part of his nationwide campaign tour for the
forthcoming Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, convention.
The former Head of State said he
would treat the presidential aspirant as his own son and ensure that he succeed
in his ambition
He pointed out that “I will
rightly observe that you are my son, for coming to pay a courtesy visit.
“I remember when I was still in
office, I spoke with your father, Oloye Saraki who was always providing advises
on a number of things attached to this country.
“He always made himself available
to me, to give advises and encouragement which will move the country forward.
“Your visit today is historical,
now it is your time and turn to come to me and I will do just that.”
“You mentioned three things that
are very dear to us as military, and we fought to get them to preserve them.
“They are unity of the country,
the security of lives and the economic development.
“The security of the people and
their well being of the ordinary man are the right objectives for campaign and
leadership for this country.
“I commend you, you have my
support for these three reasons you have itemised and I hope the people will
listen to you.”
