Ezebuiro paid visited Babangida at his private residence in Minna, Niger State over the weekend, where the former president lauded and encouraged his humanitarian activities.

“This visit is deeply symbolic for me. It’s a moment of legacy meeting purpose. I came to honour General Babangida’s contribution to Nigeria’s history and to receive wisdom from a leader whose influence on our national journey remains significant.” He stated.

General Babangida, who governed Nigeria between 1985 and 1993, remains a prominent figure in the nation’s political history. His tenure was marked by major economic and diplomatic initiatives, and he remains regarded as an influential elder statesman.

“We must build the future with reverence for the past. True success is measured not only by achievements, but by how we honour our roots and prepare the ground for future generations.”

The visit concluded with prayers for Nigeria’s unity, peace, and continued progress, values both men have championed throughout their respective paths of service.
