THE Ikemba Nnewi, Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, was
yesterday, reported to be in support for the presidential ambition of
former military leader, General Ibrahim Babangida, in 2011,Â
saying he would support him as far as it was the desire and
aspiration of the people of the country.

Ojukwu, who declared that Babangida deserves a second chance
to rule the nation, said he was convinced that he possessed the
required qualities that could take the country to further heights as,
according to him, IBB remains a strong voice in Nigerian politics.
The ex-Biafran leader, who received a delegation of Campaign
Network for IBB led by Chief Peter Dada Osadebay in his residence
in Enugu, said the former military president remains his bosom
friend.

Among the dignitaries that visited Ojukwu were Chief Emeka Ani
[South East coordinator of the campaign}, Chief Anike Agbo, Alhaji
Nurudeen Gasali Babatunde, Chief Anike Nwoga, Chief Anike
Nwaba, among others.

Osabebay, told reporters after a closed door meeting with the
former Biafran warlord that Ojukwu’s comments on Babangida
were very encouraging, stressing that the Ikemba had promised to
work with the former military leader.

He said that Ojukwu, who had cut short his visit to his village in
Nnewi to receive the group, was full of excitement and
commended the spirit behind the campaigns.
