Former military head of state, General Ibrahim Babangida, has declared that he has already seen the kind of person that would be next Nigerian President.


Speaking in an interview aired on Arise Television, IBB called on Nigerians to focus on individuals in their 60s come 2023.

IBB hinted at a few individuals, whom he said had the capacity to lead the country and effectively run its affairs economically and politically.

According to the former military dictator, bad leadership was a major reason for series of socio-economic challenges the country is being faced with.

IBB pointed out that at this point, Nigeria is in dire need of a leader who connects with the people, tries to talk with them and not the one who “talks on top of the people.”


“I have started visualising a good Nigerian leader. That is, a person, who travels across the country and has a friend virtually everywhere he travels to and he knows at least one person that he can communicate with,” he said.

“That is a person, who is very verse in economics and is also a good politician, who should be able to talk to Nigerians and so on. I have seen one, or two or three of such persons already in his sixties.”


When asked if the person could emerge victorious in the 2023 presidential election, Babangida added, “I believe so if we can get him.”

National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Ahmed Bola Tinubu and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, all above 60s, are among some of the names that have been mentioned as possible replacement for President Muhammadu Buhari when his tenure expires in 2023.

I pray the person must be a good candidate not a thief or betrayer

Nna mehnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

IBB tell us the person or forever remain silent, stop beating around the bush

Is he referring to his boy OUK? Cos I know Tinubu is not in the picture. Osinbajo is a better candidate from SW

People that control things.... All these general self...

Baba go rest, we no need your advice... This is 21st century, we dont want leaders with analogue brain. We want someone younger

tinubu or osibanjo doesnt need endorsement of an expired milk.
Buhari have relegated obj,ibb and ty danjuma while wike and his pdp govs cemented it and chase away the general boys e.g atiku,saraki,oyinlola david mark,e.t.c

Come 2023 none of the general boys will smell pdp presidential tickets. Wike and pdp govs have decided their fates in the just concluded congress and conventions.

Ouk should first win election of 6 local govts in abia state before he can start talking of pulling strings in APC national politics.

For someone who won his senatorial district and two federal seats? Common na bros

Couldn't deliver house of rep reelection held in his constituency to his brother and Apc

Alfa IBB said "In their 60s". Bola Chicago's real age is 79 years so he is out.

Typical loudmouth which led the western region of Nigeria to join forces with northern region of Nigeria to fight eastern region of Nigeria. After the war, the expired milk cleverly soaked the loudmouth.

Dear Mr. Maradona, Nigeria is where she is today due to you and your cohorts’ actions. The greediness of your generation of leaders stinks high in heaven. The country has indeed festered badly under you guys. This modus operandi of leadership selection is no longer tenable in the 21st century.
Somebody like Emmanuel Macron of France wouldn’t have had a chance if he was a Nigerian. He’d probably be somewhere in his village canvassing for a local government councilorship votes. The system is rotten!

Peter Obi, Osinbajo, Akinwumi Adeshina, Umahi. These guys are qualified but since it's Igbos turn, it goes to Obi.

Lol

IBB is, as usual, trying to dribble. His statement is non assertive and non committal.

Hope nor be another dullard from the north…. All of una don dey see again

Soludo.

But IBB has to first snatch him from Anambra people.

Ion knw why i dislike this man.
He cud have allowed M.K.O to rule this country.
i stil have that feelings today that if M.K.O had ruled this country, it would have become a new dawn for Nigerians.
23years down the line nothing has changed, i could imagine what Dubai looks like then and now.

Even this one when block twitter na start the problem for Nigeria by overthrowing a duly elected president in person of ALHAJI SEHUN SHAGARI.

Nigeria jaga jaga jare.
japa is the only solution now.
Even jakpata when men take dey hold body don add money join and sapa no fit make us afford am again.

OP, Dailypost just spoilt this by mentioning Tinubu and Atiku. These are the crop of super corrupt leaders who will never make the list. Can Tinubu talk to us in yorubaland and you think we'd listen? His approval rating is at its lowest ebb. Only those he planted in our region are drumming support for him and it's cos of their pickets. Nigeria is a big nation, those who have travelled far and wide would know. Till now, there are places I've never been to, despite being well travelled within Nigeria. Can he speak in the south east or south south and people there will listen? Who knows him there? Is it Joe Igbokwe the lagos boy or amaechi? What of the middle belt, North East and North West? Only Ganduje knows him in kano and he can't decide for the people. Ganduje himself has issues with Kano right now.

Tinubu and Atiku are in their 70s point of cirrection. The only person I have in mind, who can fit in IBB's description is none other than Osinbajo. He's the only one I've seen do this nationwide and nobody had booed him. He's popular nationwide and has been everywhere, including places his boss hadn't touched since 2015.

He's the only credible person that I know Nigerians would want to consider including buhari himself...Elrufai wouldn't even hesitate to boot tinubu away at the slightest opportunity. The question is, will Nigerians still vote apc after baba's tenure expires owing to the way they've governed and treated Nigerians in the last 6 years? PDP too is like feaces in the sight of man. The ends will justify the means.

The House of Representatives seat for his constituency is already being occupied by Benjamin Kalu, the spokesman for the green chamber. His brother contested in Aba.

Prophet IBB, we don hear you.
Remember this present damage started with you, so better keep quiet

Richy4:
Is Yul Edochie no longer interested in presidential race... This old people have done enough damage in Nigeria... maybe we can try the youths... France and Canada has done it.. maybe we might be surprised...
