Print version 2011: I’m Sure Of Winning —IBB

Former military dictator, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, aka IBB, said this morning that he would win next year’s presidential election.

He said that he had the experience to turn Nigeria’s economy around.

“I believe that it is possible and I have the experience to make it possible,” IBB told journalists at the presidential lounge of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.

The ‘evil genius’, as he is also called, said those who are criticising or opposing him do not really know him.

“Perception is the way you look at things. If you call me a thief and you can prove it, you know what to do,” he said.

IBB said winning an election takes two things, which he thinks he has: the political party and the people.

Babangida announced on Monday his ambition to return to the office he left hurriedly on 26 August, 1993 after series of protests resulting from the annulment of the 12 June, 1993 presidential election won by business mogul and IBB’s good friend, Bashorun MKO Abiola.

Babangida, who ruled from August 1985 to 26 August, 1993, told the British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC, in an interview on Tuesday that he was ready to contest the presidency in 2011 on the platform of any of the existing 51 political parties.

@OAM4J
The problem with Nigeria is that every election since 1970 has been rigged in favour of the candidate able to pay the biggest bribes. IBB has the deepest pockets and can easily bribe himself to the presidency.

We as Nigerians must do all we can to rise up against him and our whole corrupt system of government. We have it in our power we just need to mobilise the masses.

What exactly is the reason for this DIASPORA commission? And here I thought it was common knowledge that if you fixed the problems in the country, they(the diasporans) will come?

Jonathan returns from US, plans to establish diaspora commission•Visit good for Nigeria – Ajumogobia

Written by Leon Usigbe
ACTING President Goodluck Jonathan, on Thursday, returned to the country, after a four-day official visit to the United States of America, where he participated in the International Nuclear Summit hosted by President Barack Obama.

The visit, which also afforded Jonathan opportunities to interact with other world leaders, international agencies and the Nigerian community in the United States, was described by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Odein Ajumogobia, as “very successful.”

The minister, who was a member of the entourage of the acting president, said the trip was necessary to enable Nigeria to re-engage the world in an open and successful way.

Speaking with reporters on arrival at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, Ajumogobia said “it was a very successful visit and I think it is important that Nigeria engages with the world again. I think we did so in a very open and successful way.”

He said the meeting between President Obama and the Acting President Jonathan was very successful, adding that there was a lot of goodwill for Nigeria, which will be for the betterment of the country.

“You could see for yourself the interviews with the BBC and CNN. In fact, it was a very short trip but there was so much excitement and everyone was very keen to meet the acting president,” Ajumogobia said.
Meanwhile, the Federal Government has announced plans to establish a diaspora commission to harmonise the contributions of Nigerians living overseas and ensure proper documentation of their input in the affairs of the nation.

Acting President Jonathan announced this when he addressed the Nigerian community in the US at Nigeria House, Washington DC, on Wednesday, to round off his visit to the States, adding that the establishment of the commission would enable government to have proper records of their contributions.

According to him, “we want to upgrade the diaspora department in Foreign Affairs Ministry to the level of a commission to coordinate experts in the diaspora. We are looking at establishing the commission before the end of this administration, in the next 12 months.”

A statement released by his office in Abuja, on Thursday, said Dr Jonathan applauded the roles and contributions of Nigerians in the diaspora, as he noted that they had become some of the best in their chosen professions across the globe.

The statement said the government would continue to acknowledge the contributions of these ambassadors and thanked them for promoting Nigeria’s image internationally.

@poster. Tell your Mum, i would like to talk to her . . .

If babangida shd become the president it means Nigeria is a dead country

cap28:
goodluck jonathan -nothing but a US pawn - he has no real power or authority just does as he's told like a good old house boy, amanpour knows it thats why she was asking him whether he'd done what his masters had instructed him to do and sack Iwu like a good little boy, but of course Jonathan had to act as if he actually makes his own decisions, the truth is he doesnt, the US got rid of Yaradua in order to make way for Jonathan a more pliable puppet, his visit to the US was to formalise everything that was agreed, this is why Jonathan is showing zero interest in the whereabouts of Yaradua, folks tighten your seat belts and get ready for a steep drop in whats left of your standard of living, nigeria is now officially a US colony - if you dont know what that means ask the Haitians - they say the average nigerian lives on less than $2 a day, who says nigerians dont know how to take their punishment with a cheerful smile, the most docile and passive set of individuals ever to walk the face of this planet.

If IBB becomes president than Gbenga daniels is safe, if Jonathan becomes president he is not.

Daniels and Obj have not been on good terms. Jonathan is Objs guy, So its expected for Daniels to side with IBB.

I think daniels or some other SW fellow might be his running mate- to get SW votes. but then again Kalu is IBBs guy in the East. so who knows.

If IBB becomes president OK- it can be an advantage to the south as the norths term will only be 6.5 years, while the souths term in 2015 will be 8 years again.

Fhemmmy:
It is too soon to know if Jonathan would make a good president, however, if i have to chose btw him and IBB, i will vote IBB

Kobojunkie:
I am sorry this doctor himself have NOT seen yar adua, so how can he be sure the man is NOT recuperating as claimed by the clerics? How can he be sure the President is not talking when he, the doctor, did not see Yar adua before, during and after his trip? Where did he get information confirming the man to be in vegetative state?

Please enough of these NOISE MAKERS already. Where is the minister of Information and why is she not telling us now what the condition of the president really is?
