Former Head of State, General Ibrahim Babangida (IBB) (rtd) has named Former Abia State Governor Orji Uzor Kalu as possible successor to President Muhammadu Buhari.
IBB said this during an interview with AIT on Sunday.
He mentioned Kalu when he described the character that is expected of a politician who aspires for the presidency in 2013.
Asked his opinion about the leadership issue in the country, Babangida responded that, “We are running and we will be running a democracy, but we haven’t reached the level. We didn’t have the democratic institution that are working very well, our institutions must be above parties and politics and so on and so forth.”
“You have to have a lot of knowledge be it business, be it academics and so on and I feel everybody, every politician at a certain age must aspire. Obama is just making sixty years old after serving two times in the United States so was Clinton and so on and so forth.”
“So we can have the likes of Orji Uzor Kalu who is interested in running the country and why not ?”
Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida was Chairman of the Armed Forces Ruling Council from 1985 to 1993 and Chief of Army Staff from 1984 to 1985.
