Former military president, retired Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, says Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is the best person to lead Nigeria in 2023.<\/div>\n
\n
\nBabangida expressed the view while receiving the Osibanjo Grassroot Organisation at his Hill Top residence in Minna, the Niger capital.<\/p>\n

He urged Osinbajo to remain focused and resilient.<\/p>\n

\u201cOsinbajo has great passion for Nigeria, he is one that can communicate with the country and inspire people among other qualities; he is the best person to lead Nigeria in 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know the vice president very well; he is a good man; a man who has conviction about Nigeria; a man who can communicate with the country and inspire people.<\/p>\n

“Such a man is worthy person to work with; we need good man to lead Nigeria; a man who has passion for this country\u2019s economy; Nigeria is a good country; the people of Nigeria are good.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou must learn to understand people and constant discussion is key; I want to convey my best wishes to the vice president through you and\u00a0 I want you to tell him to stay the course; I know it\u2019s not easy but he has the conviction;\u00a0 I wish him the best.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former military leader told the group that he accepted to speak to the members because of the person of the vice president and because of his conviction that Osinbajo has what it takes to lead the country.<\/p>\n

The National Convener of the organisation, Mr Ojo Foluso, said the group was happy with Babangida \u2018s endorsement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe came to consult the oracle and the oracle has spoken;\u00a0 IBB is an oracle because he understands Nigeria,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said the group would continue to mount pressure on Osibanjo to show interest in contesting for the presidency in 2023.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0 leader of the team, Chief Emma Ejiofor, said the group was ready to work with counsel from prominent citizens like Babangida because of their sound knowledge and understanding of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

He said Nigeria was in dire need of leaders with conviction and passion for its development.<\/p>\n
