Adamawa Elections: Ribadu Set To Defect To PDP From APC by Rikidony(m): 4:11am On Aug 13, 2014 |
Former Presidential Candidate of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria and Former EFCC head, Nuhu Ribadu is said to be trying to defect to the People’s Democratic Party from the All Progressives Congress. According to reports from Vanguard and other media sources, the former front runner for the presidency is trying to secure the PDP gubernatorial ticket and contest the election. Insiders close to Ribadu confirmed that the former anti corruption leader is putting in necessary steps to actualise his ambition of ruling the state under the PDP platform. According to Vanguard, Ribadu is all set to switch party on thursday this week barring any last minute hitch. Sources also said that Ribadu had met with Jonathan and got the president’s approval to go for the soon to be vacant Governorship position in Adamawa state. Jonathan had appointed men to meet with Ribadu’s folks at Abuja and Kaduna and they assured him that he would be granted waivers to be able to run as its flag bearer. At the Abuja meeting, Adamawa Southern Senatorial Zone PDP chieftain invited the a couple APC chairmen from Adamawa together with a handful of former members of the state House of Assembly during the tenure of Governor Boni Haruna in the company of three members of the current PDP state EXCO with Ribadu in attendance. One of Ribadu’s personnels refused to comment on the situation but told journalists that he was aware of te the developments. Adamawa state was rocked by political crisis when Governor Nyako was impeached, while his deputy resigned on July 15 after the PDP- led House of Assembly charged him with corruption and gross mismanagement of office. The governorship position was then taken by the speaker of the state assembly, Umaru Fintiri, until the mandatory election was to be held in 90 days time according to Nigeria’s constitution. http://www.naij.com/276351-nyakos-replacement-ribadu-gets-presidencys-backing-dump-apc-pdp.html |
