Saraki Leads PDP Committee To Meet With Babangida, Abubakar In Minna

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) reconciliation committee led by former Senate President Bukola Saraki on Friday met with the former military president of Nigeria, Gen Ibrahim Babangida.

The PDP committee met with Babangida at his hilltop residence in Minna, Niger State.

According to Saraki who led the delegation, the visit is a continuation of engagements with influential leaders and stakeholders in our great party.

They also used the opportunity to pay a courtesy call on another former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar.

Others in the delegation included ex-Cross River State Governor, Liyel Imoke and former Gombe State Governor, Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo.

Meanwhile, a former Senate Deputy Chief Whip, Senator Hosea Agboola, has lambasted former Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, for describing Governor Seyi Makinde as a ‘baby governor.’

Speaking on Thursday while welcoming some loyalists of a former governor of Oyo State and leader of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), Rashidi Ladoja, Agboola described Fayose as a liability to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Agboola, a political ally to Governor Makinde, also described the ex-governor as an opportunist.

Agboola said, “Such a statement from Fayose to a serving governor and leader of the PDP in the South-West is most uncharitable and in bad taste.
