A former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Nuhu Ribadu, has joined the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Adamawa State.

Mr. Ribadu was the presidential candidate of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, in 2011 and joins the PDP from the All Progressives Congress.

A member of the executive committee of the PDP in in Bako, Mr. Ribadu’s ward in Yola South Local Government Area, informed PREMIUM TIMES that the anti-corruption chief has been registered as a member of the party.
‎
PREMIUM TIMES had reported how the PDP leadership led by the party’s national chairman, Adamu Muazu, mounted pressure on Mr. Ribadu to join the party and be its candidate for the October 11 governorship election in Adamawa.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had released time table for the election to replace former governor Murtala Nyako who was impeached by the State Assembly last month.

‎Already, Acting Governor Umaru Fintiri and son of former chairman of the PDP, Bamanga Tukur, Awwal Tukur, have picked the notice of ‎ intent form to fly the PDP’s flag for the election.

Efforts to speak with Mr. Ribadu or his spokesperson, Abdulaziz Abdulaziz, were unsuccessful.

‎Both men’s mobile phones were switched off when PREMIUM TIMES tried to reach them.
Mr. Ribadu is yet to publicly declare for the PDP although he has not refuted any of the reports linking him to the party.

lets hear from the horses mth.. tired of rumours

Political prostitute

What a nice move!

Considering the fact that he was betrayed when he was in ACN and the whole members of the state house of assembly being in PDP. He has made the best move.

Welcome back home...... The prodigal Son

Now I know that these people are after their selfish means. Sorry for Nigeria.

But wait o?

I don't think it's a true story. It appears that some quarters are mainly testing waters.

*******/Fashola

Over to obiageli and Co

More reason why I cnt vote and trust any politician. Does it mean he doesn't av policy or he's taking his ideology 2 PDP?

PDP stealing from APC, APC stealing from PDP. I pray PDP doesnt betray him when it matters. Wish he wins the gubernatorial election, he will make a fine governor.

Good luck to Ribadu!!!

You should have known by now that Gbawe is ALWAYS wrong.

Finally,we can move on again!!!!
I think there is a bigger picture to the decamping. Its kind of reducing the likely younger generation that could be used to for the presidential post in the opposition ranks.The APC needs to begin massive grooming of possible candidates to float from multiple zones of interest that can make waves.Cos right now the options are becoming slimmer.With this the treat of a Ribadu candidacy for presidential is lost in the opposition.
I fear that more will decamp after the primaries.Only consolation is that same could happen in the PDP too. Even with that APC seems more prone to losing members. As they have little to offer as consolation for people that lose primaries compared to the ruling PDP.They would have more to dangle (contracts,appointment & bribes etc).It will boil down to the Nigerian people to salvage the nation if...rice matter,intimidation & BH is not used!

APC wake Up oooo!!!!!

Gbawe is a failed analyst.That was the same way he swore that Fayemi was going to defeat Fayose befor the Ekiti election was held.He is a failed analyst.

The Islamic APC is dead!

Awesome, My favorite Nigerian politician now in the party I have a soft spot for.
He'll make an excellent governor and hopefully a great president in 2019 #TeamRibadu
This is effectively the biggest political defection of the year and a sucker punch to the APC , they've lost their brightest star to the PDP, they relegated him to the background and it would have been politically naive not to accept an automatic ticket from the PDP that not only guarantees him the Adamawa governorship seat but also a realistic shot at the presidency in 2019

I never knew Mallam Nuhu Ribadu was a christian

How do you manage to live with yourself It must really be hard.

Whatever it is, I'm a fan of the gentleman.
Wish him luck and hope he doesn't regret it.

Stop spreading falsehood occupy social media, where did Gbawe swear for the fella? Bring up the post or forever remain a worthless pay as you go internet troll!

If this is true then the powers that be are prepping Ribadu as the president after Good luck.

The "christiainic" Ribadu joined the "christianic" party, right?

@topic: Ribadu is a fine man. I wish him luck. It's just odd to serve under a man you once ran against. Then again, Ribadu is old enough to make his choices.
