IBB And Son At Loggerheads Over Gubernatorial Aspiration by dondumexx(m): 11:55am On Oct 01, 2013
Things could not be said to be at ease between the ex-military dictator, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (retd) simply called IBB and his son, Muhammed also known as Maipolo over the latter’s 2015 gubernatorial ambition in Niger State.
An impeccable source informed encomium Weekly that Maradona, as IBB is fondly addressed, has refused to give Muhammed his blessings concerning his plan to govern the state in the next political dispensation.
Although, reasons for the disagreement between the former Head of State and his son on the issue are still sketchy, our source disclosed that IBB just wants to play safe, and prevent the family from being labeled power hungry. Not only that, the one-time military tactician was also said to have restricted Muhammed’s move to relocate to the family’s village in Wushishi Local Government Area, in Niger North Senatorial District, which is expected to produce the governor of the state in line with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) zoning arrangement.

This, according to our source, didn’t go down well with Muhammed who is already planning to move his family to the village to enable him vie for the governorship ticket.

Equally, Muhammed’s sister, Aisha, who is solidly behind him was said to be unhappy with their father for not supporting her brother’s aspiration to take over from the incumbent governor, Alhaji Aliyu Babangida come May 29, 2015.

“From all indications, there seems to be a very serious problem in IBB’s family right now. It’s only if they just want to be economical with the truth. I learnt Muhammed has been disallowed by his father to relocate to their original village in Wushishi Local Government, which could have availed him the ticket to contest for the state’s number one seat in 2015 on the platform of PDP because it’s the turn of that zone to produce the governor. Now, I learnt IBB’s refusal has resulted in a serious crisis not only between him and Muhammed but other children, including Aisha. But I learnt Aisha is trying everything to convince their father so that Muhammed’s effort won’t be in vein, having spent a lot of money on the ambition.”

Nah joke.

Finishing his studies in famous educational institutions and Europe, Mohammed Babangida has an interest and sincerely working in public education campaigns as part of his dedication to his family’s philanthropic activities. A hard driving executive, he genuinely carries a soft spot for his coutrymen – valuable qualities that classify a whole new breed of world-class leaders.

His excellence in the business world and leadership is effectively manifested in his love for sports, particularly Polo, a game that is presently having a tremendous transformation in Nigeria from one generation to another. A proficient sportsperson, Mohammed Babangida is also a qualified Polo player and an associate of the Kaduna Polo Club. He is also the Patron of the El-Amin Polo Club, with a Polo team that owns some of the best horses in the world. Like his dedication to business, Mohammed Babangida is likewise truly devoted in showing the beauty and thrills of the game of Polo to his very own countrymen.

IBB knows that his son has not done anything on his own to aspire to be Governor

I really have no interest in getting involved in their private family squabbles but if Muhammed Babangida wants to run for Governor let us assess his life time achievements

being son of IBB is not one of those achievements
Re: IBB And Son At Loggerheads Over Gubernatorial Aspiration by Nobody: 1:07pm On Oct 01, 2013
Does he have any experience in politics other than being the son of a military president? I don't think so! He should STFU and enjoy his father's loot!
