Former military President Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) on Tuesday said the current leadership in the country lacks the vision, courage and focus to take Nigeria to the promised land.

He made the remark when Sule Lamido, former governor of Jigawa State and presidential aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), paid him a courtesy visit as part of his ongoing consultations ahead of the 2019 general election.

Babangida said that with Lamido in the saddle, Nigeria will be great again, adding that the former foreign affairs minister has his blessings as far as the 2019 presidential contest is concerned.

The meeting, it was learnt, was part of Lamido’s consultative meeting with former leaders, critical stakeholders, PDP NWC members, party officials and elder statesmen concerning his 2019 presidential ambition. The meeting with IBB was said to have been held at the Minna Hilltop residence of the former leader.

In a statement issued by Lamido’s new media aide, Mansur Ahmed, he noted that “the meeting, with the former military president centered on the presidential ambition of Sule Lamido.

The meeting, which lasted for over an hour, was to pay homage to a man Lamido described as ‘my leader,’ to brief him about our nationwide consultation, and to seek for his prayer, blessing, and advice and to learn from his vast experiences as a former president of Nigeria.

The two leaders also discussed the imperative of working together to ensure that Nigeria remains a safe, stable and united country that deserved to be saved from the amateurs, currently holding sway in the country.”

Lamido was also quoted in the statement to have said that it was in the interest of all that Nigeria remains a stable and united country where Muslims and Christians can live without discrimination.

In his remarks, IBB was quoted in the statement to have said that with “Sule, Nigeria will be great because you are a student of the late Malam Aminu Kano, who sees and perceive life as a struggle for the emancipation of the common man.

“Nigeria needs your kind of leader because the current leadership has lost focus, vision, and courage to lead Nigeria to the promised land. Today in Nigeria, a brother killing a brother, kidnapping, hunger everywhere, we need to stand up and unite ourselves to rescue Nigeria come 2019.”

Lamido was said to have earlier visited the Niger State PDP secretariat and discussed with party officials under the leadership of Tanko Beji, before proceeding to IBB’s residence.

You're one of the people who inspired buhari and the rest of them,they learned it from you.

See the EVIL GENIUS talking!
Oshisko!

“There is almost no country in Africa where it is not essential to know to which tribe, or which subgroup of which tribe, the president belongs. From this single piece of information you can trace the lines of patronage and allegiance that define the state.” – Christopher Hitchens

Did they ever have focus in the first place?

LIKE YOU WERE ANY BETTER..YOUR CREW RUINED THIS COUNTRY

They become wise after leaving Aso rock. All of them.

am still wondering how the likes of IBB,OBASANJO,SARAKI,TINUBU,ATIKU,ABDULSALAM and the rest are not serving jail terms as at now

Sir you did the worst blunder you shouldn't have allow him to live after the coup d'etat , a bullet on his empty skull would have safe us from all this failure... zai Barbar is epitome of failure

Shame on u IBB

You started it, when you derailed a process of reformation and you made a mess of our value system. You legalized corruption and bribery. Your soul will melt in hell for ever.

shut up Ibb,You wicked soul that killed my Dad. Gods judgement awaits you.

Okpo fa ndi azu!
Ijiji fa ndi choir

Architect of our problems you are sir.

Even IBB?

FG has lost focus because Buhari has stopped remitting to him. Buhari has lost focus because he has revoked their oil licences. IBB, is it not good for you to die silently and in peace than all these lamentations?

It seems this people don't have an iota of shame in them. Mr. Maradona and Sule Lamido shouldn't say anything instead of them to go on hibernation after all the corrupt practices they committed while in office.

IBB of all people

Since the inception of this administration, the only focus was blame game and they are still doing so gallantly till date to the point that they have indirectly accused the President of sabotaging his own effort at giving direction to the security outfit. I wonder how Saraki will be directing an appointee of Buhari, that means the paternity of his children should be questioned if Buhari agrees to it that Daura takes order from Saraki.
