Gulak, Ribadu Carpet Fintiri For Joining Adamawa Governorship Race by Johnnyessence(m): 9:57pm On Aug 25, 2014 |
Barely three weeks to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, primary to elect the party’s flagbearer for the governorship bye-election in Adamawa State, a former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Nuhu Ribadu, and ex-presidential adviser on political affairs, Ahmed Gulak, have criticised Acting Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, for seeking to contest. The aspirants said Fintiri’s decision was morally wrong having led the lawmakers to impeach former governor, Murtala Nyako. Gulak told newsmen in his Yola residence that Nigeria’s constitution does not permit the interim governor’s move. “First and foremost, Fintiri should know he is the speaker of Adamawa House of Assembly. It’s by that virtue of the post, that he is the Acting Governor as there was no Governor and Deputy”, he said. “His position as speaker is reserved for him, meaning that he should midwife this election, after that he should resume his post as speaker. He has no moral basis to contest, that’s not the intention of the framers of the constitution, and it has not encouraged members to do so. “The Constitution is clear. He is not supposed to contest this bye- election. Because apart from the letters of the constitution by implication, he is suppose not to participate as he has no moral right. “If he wants to contest, he should better resign to avoid inviting calamity”. Gulak further advised PDP against disregarding the laws of the land. “If it happens like this, members of the state house of assembly will just sit down and impeach the governor and his deputy, just to clinch into power, and that is not the intention of the framer of this constitution; it is an impeccable fact that the constitution has reserved his seat as speaker, that is why the deputy speaker is acting and it is by the virtue of his position as a speaker that he is acting governor”, he said. Also reacting, Ribadu’s campaign team insisted that “the acting governor has no moral justification to contest the polls; he ought to act as an impartial umpire to monitor and conduct a free and fair election”. They accused Fintiri of being desperate as many had thought that he would justify the confidence reposed in him by being neutral and imperial, only to turn and show his interest. dailypost.ng/2014/08/25/gulak-ribadu-carpets-fintiri-joining-adamawa-governorship-race/ 1 Like 2 Shares |

Fintiri has the right to contest! Just like GEJ has the right to contest for the 2015 general elections! I suppose this is a case of not looking before you leap for Ribadu. These are the realities of politics in Nigeria. Gulak, Ribadu et al should deal with it and stop crying wolf! 39 Likes |

If Fintiri cannot contest, Jonathan cannot contest as well. Let him "Mid-wife" the election too. BTW, none of them mentioned any constitutional reservation. As we all know moral hindrance is not a problem in the evil party. Go Fintiri - share the money! 15 Likes |

I think gulak and Ribadu's have a point here. I think pdp should prevail on fintiri not to contest for the sake of their moral integrity. I still doubt RIBADU'S membership in pdp, I think APC planted him in pdp to win the election and come back since they won't be participating in the election. 2 Likes |

Well, I understand Mr. Ribadu's point. Finitri wants to eat his cake and have it. If he looses the gubernatorial, he will say he is still the speaker. If he wins he will resign. Whichever way, He wins. There should be a way to check this in the constitution, if not sorry. Morals don't work in Nigerian Politics and attacking him on that ground won't work. 4 Likes |
