General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB), former military president, is being celebrated on his 84th birthday with former president Goodluck Jonathan and other Nigerians.
Jonathan described him as a nationalist and one of Nigeria’s most outstanding leaders in a ceremony ceremony at his Hilltop residence in Minna on Sunday.
“We praise God that this nation has produced many leaders since independence, but General Ibrahim Babangida stands out as one who gave his all as a military head of state.” His residence has become a “Mecca” for Nigerians from all over the nation, which speaks volumes about his personality.
He doesn’t hold any sectarian positions, but he does believe in the unity of Nigeria. He has friends from all over the nation. We’ll keep honoring him and wishing for his long life so that he can continue to lead the younger generation, Jonathan declared.
