MINNA \u2014 Former military President, General Ibrahim Babangida (rtd) has endorsed the candidacy of Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, presidential team, saying: \u201cThey are the pair that the country needs to turn her fortune around.\u201d<\/p>\n

Babangida who bared his mind when the ACN presidential candidate, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu and his running mate, Mr Fola Adeola paid him a courtesy call at his up-hill mansion, in Minna, Niger State yesterday said the country needed a generational change of which Ribadu represents.<\/p>\n

The former president, after hosting the ACN delegates to a lunch in his house, said: \u201cI endorse generational change which Alhaji Nuhu Ribadu and Alhjai Fola Adeola stand for. I have strong faith in them and I believe they can deliver the goods.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked if the hosting of the ACN candidate was part of move to ensure that the northern consensus candidate is actualised, Babangida said: \u201cSomeone asked me who my candidate is and I analysed the situation, the fact is that the country needs people of your age (young) to take over the leadership of the country.<\/p>\n

I believe we have to allow generational change, which the ACN candidate represents. That is why; I endorsed and support Alhaji Ribadu and Alhjai Fola. We have faith in them and we have hope in them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ribadu who later addressed party supporters at the polo ground minna assured Nigerians that his party under his leadership will transform the country economically, socially and politially.<\/p>\n
