IBB's choice for next Nigerian President is a man in his 60s

Former Head of State, Ibrahim Babangida,
wants a president that can talk to all Nigerians [Punch]

Babangida also says Nigeria will have to abandon zoning for democracy to thrive.

Former Head of State, Ibrahim Babangida, says he already has someone in mind as the ideal next President of Nigeria, and he's a man in his 60s.

Speaking on the 2023 presidential election during a televised interview on Friday, August 6, 2021, the former military dictator said his idea of a good Nigerian leader is someone who has a friend 'virtually everywhere'.

He said such a person must also be well-versed in economics, and be a good politician able to talk to Nigerians.

"I have seen one or two or three, already in their 60s," he said.

When asked if he thinks one of them should emerge, he said, "I believe so if we can get him."

The 79-year-old also said the region of the candidate should not matter.
