Date:

The Arewa Cohesion for Peace, Unity and Development Initiative has joined millions of Nigerians and admirers across the world to celebrate with former Nigerian Military President, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, GCFR, on the joyous occasion of his 84th birthday.

In a felicitation message issued in Kaduna on Sunday, August 17, 2025, the Director General of the movement, Dr. Abdullahi Idris, described IBB as “a father figure, an elder statesman and one of Nigeria’s most iconic leaders whose wealth of experience, wisdom, and foresight continue to inspire generations.”

Dr. Idris recalled with deep appreciation the warm reception accorded to the leadership of the Initiative, led by its Chairman Board of Trustees, His Excellency Attahiru Dalhatu Bafarawa, the former Governor of Sokoto State, during their courtesy visit to IBB at his Hilltop residence in Minna, where the former President graciously endorsed the vision and objectives of the Arewa Cohesion for Peace, Unity and Development Initiative.

He said General Babangida’s endorsement of the movement’s mission to strengthen peace, unity, and development in Northern Nigeria has remained a great source of encouragement, adding that his words of wisdom have continued to guide their interventions.

“General Babangida is not only a former Head of State but also a revered elder whose statesmanship and counsel remain invaluable to Nigeria’s democratic journey and to the cohesion of our dear country. His commitment to the ideals of unity, justice, and progress is exemplary and worthy of emulation,” Dr. Idris stated.

On behalf of the Arewa Cohesion family, he prayed Almighty Allah to bless IBB with continued good health, long life, and inner peace, so that Nigeria and the North in particular may continue to benefit from his wisdom and fatherly guidance.
