SAN FRANCISCO, September 16, (THEWILL) – The Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, on Sunday, visited the home of the former military head of state, Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB).
Saraki paid respects to IBB before meeting with delegates and party executives of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from Niger State.
Giving Saraki his support and blessing, Babangida said that with Saraki’s experience as a governor, legislator and Senate President along with his objectives for seeking election, there can be no better candidate than him adding that he is well prepared for the Presidency of the country.
“You have the right objective for a campaign for leadership in this country. You are much more than prepared because you have been a governor in a state, a legislator and a Senator,” IBB said.
“You have been holding the Senate for the past three years very well and the Senate have been working very well under you.
“You spoke of three important things that are very dear to me and those of us who fought to keep this country together, the issues which are unity, economic development and security.
“The security of this nation is a no go area, the security of the people and property are uppermost in your mind along with the well being of ordinary Nigeria. With these, I can say you have the right objectives for leadership of this country.
“You have my prayers and my support for these three reasons you have enumerated. I hope you keep to your objectives and hope the people will listen and believe you because the objectives are for the good of this country. I wish you well.”
