The Senator representing Nasarawa West Senatorial District and APC Governorship Candidate for Nasarawa State, Sen. Ahmed Aliyu Wadada, on Wednesday paid a courtesy visit to former Military President, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (GCFR) at his hilltop residence in Minna, Niger State.
The visit, according to a statement signed by Victor Akawu, Special Assistant on Social Media to the Senator, provided an opportunity for Sen. Wadada to pay his respects to the elder statesman and tap from his wealth of experience in governance and national affairs.
Speaking after the meeting, Sen. Wadada expressed gratitude for the warm reception accorded him by the former Head of State.
“It was a privilege and a valuable opportunity to draw from the experience of one of Nigeria’s most distinguished elder statesmen,” the Senator said.
He noted that the insights and counsel shared during the engagement would serve as a source of inspiration as he continues to contribute to efforts aimed at advancing the development and prosperity of both Nasarawa State and Nigeria.
Sen. Wadada further reaffirmed his commitment to supporting initiatives and values that promote good leadership, sustainable development, and a more prosperous future for the Nigerian people.
General Babangida, who ruled Nigeria between 1985 and 1993, remains one of the country’s most influential elder statesmen and a key voice on national issues.
The visit comes at a time when political consultations are intensifying ahead of the 2027 general elections.
