IBB's tribute to Obasanjo on his 78th birthday

Ibrahim Babangida: “Party or no party, my oga, Obasanjo “dey kampe”

Former president Gen Olusegun Obasanjo clocked 78 yesterday and former Head of State Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida sent him a tribute which was in major dailies today. Is it just me?

 IBB actually said "Baba, I Know "you dey kampe", party or no party....That's interesting if you ask me. 

Recall that Gen Obasanjo recently tore his PDP membership card in public.

My Oga, How times fly…
By GEN. IBRAHIM BABANGIDA, GCFR
This uniform on you is a symbolic embellishment of a symbolic institution;
Profoundly cherished in its narrative of a sound career;
Conveying all the essential ingredients of discipline, patriotism, loyalty to country
And respect for mankind;
It removes all the sentiments of intimidation from “bloody civilians”,
And instills in us, that abiding sense of faith and confidence,
To dominate our environment for love of country;
You have seen it all; through thick and thin;
And that which binds us together remains in that unflinching love for country,
A country we jealously fought to sustain its unity and collective aspirations;
As you add one more year to your years on earth; my prayer is;
That you live longer to reap the fruits of your endless labour,
The labour of our heroes past, the labour of our war of unity,
To sustain this edifice, Nigeria;
That bears true testimony to our collective sufferance
Baba, I know “you dey kampe”, Party or no party;
On behalf of Aisha, Muha, Aminu and Halima;
I convey our felicitations to you on this special birthday celebration.
Many Happy returns.
