Former Military President, General Ibrahim Badamasi
Babangida, has noted that currently, Nigerians are expressing resentment
against what he termed autocrats, mediocre, ethnic champions, incompetent and
visionless actors in the country.
Babangida stated this during a visit by the national
chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Iyorcha Ayu, along with
the members of the National Working Committee at his Hilltop Mansion in Minna,
Niger State.
The former military leader, who read from a prepared speech,
explained the need by leaders of the party to cash in on the present moment to
adequately manage the complexities of the competitive party and electoral
politics in the direction of pursuing politics as a public interest project.
He said, “If we have failed to adequately manage the
complexities of the competitive party and electoral politics since
independence. We now have a golden opportunity at our present crossroads to
turn in the direction of pursuing politics as a public interest project, in
line with moral and statutory provisions of articles 13 and 14 of the
constitution of Nigeria.”
Earlier, Senator Ayu explained that he came with members of
the NWC and leaders of the party to visit the elder statesman to secure his
blessings and as well tap from his wealth of experience and wisdom as a
founding father of the PDP.
He stated that the visit was pertinent, especially at a time
the nation is grappling with a lot of security challenges and divisions.
The national chairman of the PDP called on IBB not to relent
in his efforts at ensuring that the unity of the country that he fought so
tirelessly for is sustained.
