Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) has said that there is No better candidate than Senate President Bukola Saraki.
According to The Nation, the former Head of State said Saraki’s experience as a Governor, legislator and Senate President stands him out from the rest.
Babangida also said “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. 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. “
In his response, Saraki said “I promise you that I will work for a Nigeria that you will be proud of, that you will say that your efforts and sacrifices have been worth it. A government that will know that there are leaders and elders and a government that will consult and bring everybody together, a government that will work hard to make sure that the country prospers.”
