IBB Congratulates President Goodluck Jonathan

Gen. Ibrahim Babangida has described President Goodluck Jonathan’s victory at the PDP primary as “not only personal but to all members of our great party, to lovers of peace, unity and progress; and to all those who believe in democracy and Nigeria.”

The retired general, who withdrew from the race for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, advised the president to be magnanimous in victory and carry along with him those who lost at yesterday’s event.

He also said, “My admiration also goes to the woman of substance and courage who never gives up – Mrs Sarah Jibril - who has since 1993 sought at every opportunity to offer her services as president of this country.

“Even though she has not succeeded, history will one day say this is the woman who saw tomorrow when eventually Nigeria elects a woman president.”
