President Jonathan calls IBB his father as former president tells Nigerians to support him



On Saturday,President Jonathan  was in Minna,Niger State to pay a visit on former military president, General Ibrahim Babangida, whom he referred to as his father.Speaking after his closed door meeting with the former military leader,president Jonathan said

“First and foremost, I have to use this opportunity to appreciate our leader, President Babangida for his leadership. His commitment to ensuring that this country is united and we leave in peace.Of course, you know that this is the end of the year. Within this period, people pay visits. So, I have come to visit him. You know he just came back from hospital abroad, not too long ago.
“Since he came back, we have not seen. I need to see my father to know how he is feeling. I am quite pleased the way I have seen him.Of course, you all know that as a nation, we are facing challenges: security challenges all over, not just in the North. Yes, Boko Haram in the North. The South is not safe: commercial kidnapping and robbery.
“He is one of our experienced leaders. As somebody who is sitting where he was before, I need to see them from time to time to listen to their suggestions.That is one of the areas  we can collectively move the country forward and ensure that Nigerians live in peace.That is the key thing and I am quite pleased that we had fruitful discussions

IBB threw his weight behind the president saying..
What I will say is simple, the president means well for this country and he is working well for this country.Anybody who means well for this country should support the president to make sure that Nigeria survives as a united country.”
