A four-man Niger State government delegation, that visited former military President, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) in a German hospital, has said he is in perfect condition.
The Nation reports that the delegation, led by Commissioner for Agriculture, Prof Yahaya Kuta Mohammed, spent over three hours with the former military leader at the private home where he is recuperating.
Babangida left for routine medical treatment on September 6 in company of Aminu, his second son.
His doctors ordered a surgery for Radiculopathy, an ailment he sustained during the Civil War.
Other members of the delegation included the Chief of Staff, Umar Nasko, IBB’s cousin and Director-General, State Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) Focal office, Dattijo Aliyu and Managing Director State Development Company Mohammadu Aliyu.
It was learnt that Governor Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu planned to lead the delegation but could not make it.
A member of the delegation stated that, “We were with him (IBB) on Sunday and Monday. He was in high spirits and in good health.
“He is responding positively well to post-surgery therapy.
“The team leader delivered the goodwill message to the General.
“He was in high spirits and good frame of mind. The General is good to return home anytime.”
A family source said Babangida will return home after the Sallah celebration.
“Baba has been advised to return after Sallah to keep him away from the crowd and well-wishers who usually visit him during the period.
“Hopefully, we expect him on or before next week”.
