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.

[size=14pt]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[/size].

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.

THE ONLY PLACE THIS IDOT SHOULD BE THINKING OF GOING NOW IS MEETING HIS DEAR WIFE.

If these are the kinds of people championing the "IBB for President" campaign, then we should not hesitate to guess the sort of people that would surround him if eventually he becomes the president.

Pardon Mrs Adedibu, dem never read baba's will and as he be so, nothing fit reach the woman. So for all her efforts, IBB must drop something.

What do you expect from her, she is one of those curse on Nigerian women. Oyo state has always been the only primitive people among the YORUBA race. Oyo dobale inu e loso.

[size=14pt]Why will the Yoruba man always lick the ass of the hausa man and sell himself out so easily?
O! Yorubas! As gullible as the British weather! The weakest link in the south! Always the reason why the south cannot team up against the north cos @ the last minute they will always turn around and sing the praises of the hausa overlords![/size]

@ellyptical, i dont know idiots like you still abound here, how could you goat insult the whole south west like that, the very problem starts from your region, the east or you are so deaf and dumb to the extent that you did not hear that your hero ojukwu the bingo publicly supported ibb. slowpoke.

Ellyptical:

[size=14pt]Why will the Yoruba man always lick the backside of the hausa man and sell himself out so easily?
O! Yorubas! As gullible as the British weather! The weakest link in the south! Always the reason why the south cannot team up against the north cos @ the last minute they will always turn around and sing the praises of the hausa overlords![/size]

So because Adedibu's wife is pro IBB automatically means Yorubas are pro IBB. How are you even sure Adedibus wife is Yoruba by birth?

I don't see any difference from Ellyptical and you. Are popular Yoruba thieves like  OGD, Fayose, Tinubu, Fani Kayode, Etteh, Bankole, Bode George, Thiefa Balogun, etc all from the primitive Oyo people?

Pls take ibb money and vote not for him

Ellyptical:

So Adedibu's wife and some few Yoruba men who supported IBB have spoken for the whole Yoruba? abi?

And when, where and how many times have the Yoruba men licked the backside of Hausa men?

Ellyptical:

I'm guessing Ojukwu is a yoruba man, cus he was the first (and remains the only prominent person) to endorse Barbangidah! Besides, he's promised the evil General all of Ibo votes come 2011.

AHEAD of 2011 general elections, the Ikemba Nnewi, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu on Saturday threw his weight behind General Ibrahim Babangida’s presidential ambition, saying the former military president should be given a second chance to rule the country.

Chief Ojukwu said he was convinced that General Babanginda had the required qualities that could take the country to greater heights, adding that the former military ruler remains a strong voice politically in the country.

The Ikemba who stated this when he received a delegation of Campaign Network for IBB (CNI) led by Chief Peter Dada Osadebay in his residence in Enugu, said Babangida remains his bosom friend.

It was gathered that Chief Ojukwu had cut short his stay at Nnewi where he is mourning his late second wife to receive the pro-IBB group in Enugu. He headed back immediately to his country home after saying farewell to his visitors.

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 .

Briefing reporters shortly after a close door meeting with Ojukwu, the National President of the Pro-IBB group, Chief Osabebay, said that Ojukwu’s comments on Babangida was encouraging, stressing that Ikemba had promised to work with the former military leader.

Former Biafran warlord, Dim Chukwuemeku Odumegwu-Ojukwu has pledged support of Igbo people for the presidential aspiration of former military president, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida and gave him the name Okechukwu.

The Ikemba of Nnewi gave this pledge when a group of IBB campaigners under the aegis of Campaign Network for IBB 2011, South East Zone, paid him a courtesy visit at the weekend.

“Tell your principal that Igbos are for him. He has my support and by extension he has the support of the whole Igbo people both at home and in the Diaspora. He is my friend and I am stoutly behind him,” Ojukwu said.

He used the occasion to rechristen Babangida as Okechukwu. “He is now Ibrahim Badamasi Okechukwu Babangida. That is his new name. I wish him success.” Earlier, the leader of the group, Chief Tony Emeka Ani, said the group had come to solicit the support of Ojukwu for the presidential aspiration of IBB, adding that the group had just been inaugurated in the South East.
On the entourage of Ani was Mr. Yemi George, leader of the group in Europe, who came down from Germany to grace the occasion.

SATURDAY INTERVIEW

With the 2011 election fast approaching, people and groups are campaigning for various aspirants. The Ibrahim Babangida for You (IBB4U) is one of the groups rooting for the candidature of former military president, General Ibrahim Babangida.

Project Director of the group, Mr. Abuchi Anaeto has pleaded with Nigerians to support Babangida, who, according to him, has all it takes to change the country positively.

With President Goodluck Jonathan as leader of the PDP, how would Babangida actualise his dream of being president?
I am sure we can achieve our dream. We believe that in 2011, IBB will become president of the country. PDP is made up of individuals. The question to ask is: how much of President Jonathan do we have in each PDP members and how much of IBB is in each member. Also, for how long will that loyalty remain? In a democracy, as opposed to a dictatorship, everybody is involved. Democracy is not about who is in grip of party machinery, otherwise it’s no longer democracy but dictatorship. I want to put it to you that IBB is more politically relevant than any other person in the party. If you look at his background, with his military training he has an edge. If you are talking about adaptability to manage difficult situation of life, IBB is shoulders above others. And he is highly detribalized. He cuts across all the geopolitical zones.

Having clarified that, it implies that we are not afraid. That is why we have started our campaign from the grassroots. We are telling Nigerians that IBB is the best candidate so far. Nigerians must make haste and move on tirelessly with the determination to reach a better future with Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida.

You seem to be sure of this. What gives you the confidence and what structure do you have?
To start with, we are group of professionals and businessmen who have decided to come together to work for the realisation of this noble objective. Right now, we have about 15 zonal coordinators in 15 states, with structures fully on ground. We have printed over 50, 000 posters, which we have been pasting across the country. We also have operational website, which is WWW.IBB4Y.COM, where millions of people are already clamouring for IBB’s return to power. All in all, we have the foot soldiers who have been deployed to the grassroots to spread the good news.

What is IBB looking for after spending about eight years as military president?
First, without sentiment, we believe that he will be a servant- leader, especially as this is democracy. With his vast experience, IBB will ensure that there is elimination of poverty from the nation. He will also fight corruption. All these and many more is what IBB will offer. Let me also digress by saying that he will ensure equity in all appointments by making sure that all the cry over injustice and marginalization is addressed. He will actively seek to bring back the reputation of the nation as the giant of Africa. He will address the Niger Delta problem.
Let me ask you. Why did former President Olusegun Obasanjo come back after ruling the country as a Head of State? Why is Gen Muhammadu Buhari trying to come back to rule this country? Why are people not looking at all these people but only raise their voices whenever IBB’s name is mentioned? It is simply because they are afraid to face him.

But to answer your question. IBB wants to come back because those in charge have not been able to get it right because of their limited knowledge of Nigerian politics. It is either they are pro-North or pro-South. But IBB sees the country as one. He doesn’t believe that you an Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba. All he is interested in is how to unite the country and move it forward.

What do you think of President Goodluck Jonathan and how will IBB be better?
Only a Narcissist tries to make himself look good by rubbishing others. We are not such group. I want to start by recognising the good things that President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is doing for the nation. For a start, the Jonathan administration has raised the hope of Nigerians. We are happy he is not parochial. Jonathan knows that what Nigerians need today is unity. To be very honest, President Jonathan is trying his best for the nation. But what every past leader in Nigeria did wrong is what IBB is coming back to correct. He knows it more than all of them. For instance, he empowered women. Anyone who cares to ask will learn that women are the backbone of civil society and it was the IBB regime that championed their empowerment, through his wife.

Could you be more specific?
What I am saying is that Nigerians have seen the worst of IBB. He cannot be worse than the IBB we know as a military leader. And Nigeria, since the return of democracy, is not the same kind of Nigeria we had during the military era. Things have changed. The military left us since 12 to 13 years now. What I am simply saying is that we cannot use that past record of military era to judge IBB. Again, I can tell you that IBB is the wisest Nigerian leader ever. It is said that the wise man foresees evil and hides himself. His decision to step aside when this country was about to implode was not out of cowardice but to stop evil. He believes he will come back. And there is no better time than today.

Since you began this project, have you got the endorsement of IBB?
Obviously, the endorsement of IBB will make a huge difference to our campaign, given his track records, as man who has served this nation for more than 40 years. But come to think of it, do we need to get an endorsement from IBB before we begin to do what is good for this country? We don’t need endorsement for that because what we are doing is for the good of the nation. However, we hope that the merit of our project will attract such a powerful endorsement.

Nevertheless, for now, our appeal goes to all Nigerians, including the rich and the poor, the men and the women, those at home and those abroad, the young and the old, the powerful and the powerless, to support IBB. History is full of good examples of people in power who saw a good candidate and supported such a candidate for the good of the people. Many rich people have also supported the common good without any desire to own the project. We hope that such powerful people and rich individuals will support us. We need all the support we can for IBB, so that we elect him president in 2011 and make poverty a history in our land.

But Nigerians are not happy with IBB…
It is not true. I think many like what I am doing. Can you prove it? They are saying that I have collected money from Babangida, but that’s not true.

Why do you like IBB?
Babangida is a mature leader. This nation needs a mature leader like him. He has experience. He is a father figure. IBB is more than qualified. I want you to understand that this a man who has touched every geopolitical zone of Nigeria. And you know that during his time, he was able to cage the armed forces with his charisma. He is a man who knows how to reach out.

Nigeria has many others with the same characteristics?
It is certain that not everybody will like you. Even Jesus Christ was hated by some. You must have an opposition. That is what democracy is all about. So, people are bound to disagree with what I am saying. We welcome this opposing view, but what we are saying is that IBB is also accepted by millions. These are Nigerians who want him to come back. We are happy that a lot of people are beginning to understand our point. Remember that there was a time that IBB was not accepted in the South West. But what is happing today? Even the founder of Oodua People’s Congress (OPC), Dr. Fredrick Fasehun, has come out to campaign for a change; the same thing with Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, who said recently that IBB is a better candidate than others. These are Nigerian leaders.

Ojukwu just said that IBB could run if he wants. Don't see how that translates that he supports the man.

Ojukwu was actually mocking the man.

Lets be fair, if IBB starts spreading the money to some Igbo politicians, that will be supporting him as well.

Money talks and shyyyyyt walks.

I bet she is one of Adedibu's wives hungry as usual.The man is dead and they are desperate for money.They have become irrelevant and this woman has gone beyond her boundaries by supporting IBB.Even adedibu won't have dared to go that far.Good riddiance, she will meet what she's looking for.

Nobody has the right to legislate who others can support. If you think IBB is not the right candidate, mobilise your folks to vote for your better candidate.

I personally do not like the idea of branding someone ememy of Nigeria because they have a view different from yours.

If Abacha wakes up from grave, chooses to contest and no court pronounces him disqualified, then nobody has the right to malign those who choose to support or vote for him. It is undemocratic to do so.

While we hope for the best for our country we need to understand the limits of our passion. Bullying others to subscribe to your views is unacceptable. Whether you think you are pursuing a righteous course or not.

Adedibu's family have every right to support IBB if they think he is the best Presidential candidate.
