General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida also applauded Nigerians for coming out en masse to exercise their franchise by electing someone like Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the next President of Nigeria.

According to him, “it is a thing of joy that this is happening in my lifetime. I can confidently say that Tinubu is  a good man for the job.

“I have no doubt that Tinubu would perform as the President of Nigeria. For some of us, who have been there before, I know that there is still more work to be done, and I believe that Tinubu has what it takes to take Nigeria to greater heights.

General Babangida,further explained that Tinubu is coming from the background of a performer, who loves his people with all his hearts and who knows how to put a round peg in a round hole.
