Former Military President, Gen. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (rtd) has commended former President Olusegun Obasanjo for the latter’s endorsement of Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Recall that Chief Obasanjo had endorsed the candidacy of Mr. Obi in an open letter to the nation, on January 1, 2023, where he rated Obi better than other candidates.
Gen. Babangida said he respected Obasanjo’s endorsement of Mr. Obi in his New Year’s letter to Nigerian youths.
He wrote on Twitter: “Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo will forever be a true elder statesman and a boss in the military. No serving General in the Nigerian Army today joined the military earlier than 1982. By then, Obasanjo had already finished his military career. I respect him a lot, with his endorsement.”
