Nigeria is Safe Under Jonathan – Babangida

Former military president, Gen. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (rtd.), on Tuesday said there was no doubt that with President Goodluck Jonathan piloting the affairs of the country, the nation was in safe hands.

Babangida said this when Jonathan and his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) campaign train paid him homage at his Minna, Hilltop residence.

Babangida thanked Jonathan for finding time to pay him a visit despite his busy schedule.

He said he shared the same passion with Jonathan, a passion which he said was a genuine zeal to transform Nigeria.

Babangida told Jonathan: “I felt touched when you visited me in Germany after nine hours of surgery and you came again.

“You have made a very good decision to visit Minna during your presidential campaign because Minna is known for producing presidents, beginning from your namesake, President Azikiwe, who was born in Zungeru.

“And since then most of the president’s of Nigeria have one thing or the other, they come here to ask for blessing and I will offer this blessing to you, Mr. President.
“When we were doing nocturnal activities for the PDP, this house has held meetings.

“My family and I are proud of this. I commend the party for being very strong.
I see in PDP a party and an organisation devoid of religion. You have shown leadership. Even when others are breaking up, you have remained strong.

“Jonathan and I share a common passion which is that Nigeria remains strong, united and indivisible. I wish you well. Nigeria under Jonathan is in safe hands,” he said.
