In furtherance of the presidential ambition of General Ibrahim Babangida, the Oyo State and local governments’ campaign executives of the former military president were yesterday inaugurated in Ibadan.

The well-attended occasion, which took place at K.S. Motel in Ibadan, had in attendance a chieftain of PDP in Oyo State, Alhaji Azeem Gbolarumi; wife of the late strongman of Ibadan politics, Alhaja Bose Adedibu and some close associates of Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala of Oyo State.

Alhaji Gbolarumi, who is the coordinator of the Oyo State IBB Campaign Organisation, said the annulment of June 12 presidential election should not stop IBB from contesting the 2011 election because IBB had done many positive things for Nigeria in the past.

“We in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State have seen the qualities embedded in the man and we identify with him in his quest to become the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria come 2011. So much has been said about the man IBB and his leadership credentials. Permit me, therefore, to say that most of these are fallacies and a creation of a class of elite, who are bent on denying Nigerians of quality leadership”, he stated.

Alhaji Gbolarumi also spoke on what he called the ‘six imaginary’ sins of IBB, which are consistently raised as factors that disqualify IBB from contesting. He said the ‘imaginary sins’ were: the Dele Giwa’s murder issue; the refusal of IBB to appear at the Oputa Panel; the excess oil proceeds; the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP); why IBB secretly enlisted Nigeria as a member of Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC), and the annulment of the June 12 election.

On June 12, Alhaji Gbolarumi said the annulment should be seen in the mould of the continued existence of Nigeria.

Other notable people who graced the event include the chairman of Oyo State T.C.T.C., Alhaji Shina Alabi; Major Salawu;former chairman of Akinyele Local Government, Mr. Yemi Aderibigbe; the chairman of the Lagos State executive of the IBB Campaign Organisation, Mr. Ebunola Martins, and representatives of the Hausa and Igbo communities.

On her own, Alhaja Bose Adedibu said there were answers for people who did not believe in the presidential ambition of IBB if only they would believe in fate. Different speakers took turns to extol the virtues of General Babangida.

Alhaji Sidi Ali, who represented General Babangida at the occasion, said IBB had presented himself to Nigerians, hence it was left for Nigerians to decide on him.
