Former military administrator, General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida rtd more populrly known as IBB has commended and conveyed his admiration to the contestants for the office of president in the 2019 presidential elections. He specifically praised the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, for his doggedness despite his supposed loss at the poll.
General Babangida said, “I was particularly impressed with the gallant and audacious spirit of the main challenger in the presidential race, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar GCON.
“I was not surprised that even though he lost the most exotic position of the land, his doggedness and pattern of support cut across ethnic, religious and regional lines that earned him the second position of the last Presidential election.”
IBB called on the former vice president to close ranks and work with the winner of the election in an objective and constructive manner. He explained that this was necessary to ensure that democracy would continue to thrive in the country, especial at this crucial period of renaissance.
“I urged him also to endeavour and prevail on his admirers to eschew bitterness and violence. They must be prevailed upon to understand that politics is a game in which there must be only one winner,” the former military president stated.
He prayed that the Almighty Allah would continue to guide the democratic steps of the people for peace and progress in the country.
