“If we have failed to adequately manage the complexities of the competitive party and electoral politics since independence, we now have a golden opportunity at our present crossroads to turn in the direction of pursuing politics as a public interest project, in line with moral and statutory provisions of article 13 and article 14 of the constitution of Nigeria."
Babangida made this submission when he was visited by the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Iyorchia Ayu, at his Uphill House in Minna, the state capital.
Ayu who was accompanied by members of the PDP's National Working Committee (NWC) in the visit said it was meant to seek IBB's blessing and wisdom being that he is one of the founding fathers of the opposition platform.

Meanwhile, when asked to reveal the actual identity of the politician he wants to emerge as the president in 2023, Babangida noted that what was more important was who truly had the credentials of a leader, not whether he likes or favours the person.
He mentioned that the next president should be younger than himself and a very detribalised individual who at least knows somebody from every part of the country.
The former military ruler added that the choice candidate must be a very good communicator.
