Bello expresses joy as IBB returns from Germany

hehehehe.....Niger State governor, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello has said the country still needs elder statesman and former military President, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida around for his wise counsel at this critical period. Bello, who welcomed the former military leader back from a medical trip to Germany, said wise counsel of leaders who had weathered the storm and distinguished themselves was needed to bail the country out from the woods.


The governor who spoke in Minna on Friday was full of praises to Allah (SWT) for preserving the life of the former military leader.

Bello said: “despite unfounded rumour about the life of our national icon, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, we are grateful that it pleases Allah (SWT) to preserve his life and bring him back safely and healthier to continue in the good work of nation building.
“General Ibrahim Babangida remain one of the few leaders in this country that we still need around to tap from their wealth of experience and knowledge and we are grateful he is back and kicking like the old soldier he is.
“Your safe return has finally put a lie to the rumour and the evil machinations of those who are playing God. We are grateful to Allah (SWT) that He has silence them”.
Babangida returned on Friday to Minna International Airport at about 3:30pm after a three week medical trip to a German Hospital.
