IBB To PDP Leadership: You’re Doing Well

General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (Rtd)

Former Nigeria Military President, retired General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, has given pass mark to the current leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), being piloted by Prince Uche Secondus as its national chairman.

Babangida, who spoke in Minna, Niger state yesterday while receiving members of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP, expressed satisfaction with the rebranding so far achieved by the PDP ahead of the 2019 general elections.

“I am happy at your assurances that there will be no imposition in all your primary elections. It is all about choice and you have promised to provide the best choice,” he said.

Commending the elective National Convention of the PDP, the former president noted that not a few Nigerians believed that the national convention would hold but that the outcome was successful.

“Your ‘Reposition, Rebrand and Regain’ agenda is working and I mean particularly the rebranding. Some people believed that having been in government since 1999, the PDP will find opposition difficult but you are carrying on well and providing a better alternative.

“You have also not abandoned the people in times of crisis. I monitored your activities in Benue, Taraba and you just said your party has sent members to Zamfara to commiserate with the people. Surely you have made the people the centre of your return and they will not forget you because you were with them in time of sorrow.”

Prince Secondus had called on Babangida to rally former leaders of the nation to save the country nation from the current administration, lamenting the killings and economic hardships, which Nigerians contend with on daily basis.

“As a leader, you made the welfare of Nigerians the thrust of governance. You were also concerned about the peace and unity of this nation. You created and built people as well as institutions.

“Today, our nation is drifting and as leaders you cannot afford to keep quiet and watch on the sides. Leaders like you must come together and take a firm position on how to save our nation from the precipice.”
