Ribadu joins PDP
AUGUST 17, 2014 BY OLUSOLA FABIYI AND JUDE OWUAMANAM


A former presidential candidate of
Action Congress of Nigeria and ex-
chairman of Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, Mr. Nuhu Ribadu,
has defected from All Progressives
Congress to the Proples Democratic
Party.
SUNDAY PUNCH gathered that
Ribadu’s siblings registered for him at
his Makama Ward in Yola South and sent the registration card to him in Abuja to enable him pick the PDP
governorship form for the Adamawa State governorship election.
It was also gathered that he would likely address journalists on Monday on his governorship ambition.
When contacted, the national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party said it was not aware yet that the
former EFCC boss had defected to the party from the All Progressives Congress.
The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr. Ibrahim Jalo, who spoke with our correspondent in
Abuja on Saturday, said, “It is after the official defection that we can say whether he had moved or not and
whether he will get waiver or not. Even at that, he has to ask for the waiver.”
On different social media platforms on Saturday, promimemt members of the PDP congratulated Ribadu fir
defecting.
Ribadu has been under pressure from the national leadership of the party and the Presidency to defect and
contest the governorship election of Adamawa State under the platform of the ruling PDP.
Our correspondent learnt in Abuja that those who had so far indicated interest to contest the election under
the platform of the PDP were the former military administrator of Lagos State, General Buba Marwa; former
Senator representing Adamawa Central, Abubakar Girei; a former Political Adviser to the President, Ahmed
Gulak, and a former Minister, Idi Hong.
Others include Dr. Umar Ardo, former Executive Secretary of the Universal Basic Education Commission;
Dr. Ahmed Modibo; Mr. Markus Gundiri and the son of former PDP national chairman, Mr. Awual Tukur.
The acting Governor, Bala Ngilari, has also announced his intention to contest following the pressure he
received from 13 of his colleagues from the state House of Assembly.

We wish him best of lucks in his new party. The progressives dont hold anything against him.
But, he must remember one thing; once beaten twice shy. We cant trust him and his so called integrity again.
Btw, did i jst see Bala Ngilari as the acting govnor in that report?
Punch(pdp agent) de fall my hand. I wan doubt this news sef.

Welcome home Ribadu

From presidency candidate to governorship candidate , from APC to PDP wat a detrimental state

Nuhu Ribadu deserves an award for making the right decision @ the right time.

If he joins PDP according to the Kano State Governor, Ribadu stands the chance of loosing all he has labored for when he was chairman of the EFCC. The reason is this. During his tenure, he was instrumental in jailing most of PDP's top members over corruption practices and money laundries. Why join them now?
