2023 Consultation: Bola Tinubu, Niger State Governor Abubakar Sani Bello visits Babangida ( See Details)

The APC leader arrived the Hilltop residence of Babangida at about 2.30pm and both went straight into a meeting behind closed-doors

After the meeting, Tinubu told media men that he came to receive the blessings of Babangida, ahead of the forth coming presidential election.

Tinubu, who had earlier visited Governor Abubakar Sani Bello to sympathise with the state over disrupting banditry, said there was no way he would visit Niger state and not pay courtesy call and receive prayers.

“Generally, I came to Niger state to commiserate with the Governor and the people of Niger state. And so, I can’t stop by without paying a courtesy call to the enigma General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, retired.

“So, he gave me his prayers. You want to know the outcome of the consultation? We are running a democracy. I took my decision voluntarily and I am running for the Presidency of the country. We are running a democracy.

“Thank you very much and God bless you”.

“When I made the declaration, I told you that I am still consulting and I will consult as widely as possible”.
