Ribadu Returns APC Membership Card, To Begin PDP Campaign Monday by Nobody: 1:45pm On Aug 17, 2014
A former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and chieftain of the All Progressive’s Congress (APC), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, who recently defected to the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has returned his membership card with the APC.

He returned the card with registration number: AGA/YOS/02009301 to the chairman of the party in his Bako Ward of Yola South Local Government Area at the weekend and obtained a new membership card of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from the ward chairman of the ruling party, who issued him the card with registration number: 1933795.

Ribadu’s return of his APC membership card which he obtained by on February 5, 2014 at the ward was accompanied with a letter of withdrawal from the party.

Confirming Malam Ribadu’s membership withdrawal from the opposition party, the Chairman of Bako Ward in Yola South Local Government Area, Usman Musa Pola, said the former EFCC boss returned the APC membership card last Thursday (August 14) through a member of the party who hails from the same ward.

“I can confirm to you that Mallam Nuhu Ribadu’s membership card of our party (APC) was returned and handed over to me last Thursday through a member of my party from this ward. It was accompanied with a withdrawal letter and we are now in possession of the returned card,” Pola said.

Similarly, the Bako Ward Chairman of the PDP in Yola North Local Government Area, Hamidu Aji, confirmed that Ribadu had registered at the ward at the weekend and was issued a PDP membership card, adding that Ribadu’s request was conveyed through a covering letter.

“After registering him the executives at the ward level have written to the State and national chapters of the party intimating them of the development,” Aji said.

With his movement to the PDP, Ribadu is now set to obtain his nomination form from the PDP national secretariat and proceed to Yola, the Adamawa State capital, to kick-start his campaign for the party’s ticket in the forthcoming bye election.

Already, a massive apartment located at No. 8 Ahmadu Bello Way, Jimeta-Yola which would serve as the Secretariat of the Nuhu Ribadu Campaign Organization has been renovated while an elaborate campaign team to be headed by one Honourable Saleh Kinjir, a former Commissioner for Local Governments during the tenure of former Governor Boni Haruna, has already been put in place, preparatory to the arrival of Ribadu in Yola today (Sunday) for the formal inauguration of the campaign organization tomorrow(Monday).

The building donated by a party faithful has been painted with PDP colours and logo, even as poles were being erected to hoist the party’s flags.

Replacing Tukur with Muazu was the football equivalent of replacing Ameobi with Suarez, a top APC Chieftain once joked that APC should have gone to court to stop his emergence as chairman........his appointment as party chair was the smartest political decision GEJ ever made......his name rings aloud all over Abuja and come 2019 at this rate, it'll take a lot for Sambo or David Mark to best him to the presidency.....watch out for Ribadu though and Gombe governor Dankwambo who is performing very well albeit silently.

What I love best is that he attracts credible individuals to the party, Jimi Agbaje for Lagos, Ribadu for Adamawa, Dr Alex Otti his old friend for Abia, plus he was probably the best performing northern governor of the 1999-2007 set

Dr Alex Otti is not in the gubernatorial race anymore. His appointment as MD Diamond Bank was recently increased to three more years.

I said similar thing in my previous comment. My fear is that, ribadu may return to his old party if he wins the governor.

He sure knows. Adamawa is predominantly PDP. Coming from the opposition to win the election will be a difficult task for him. Considering the fact that, the PDP through the impeachment of Ex Gov. Nyako and his deputy had taken over the machinary of the state and its finances. Besides, APC had not promised him the ticket, and such had other aspirants to contest with. To me, the move is a wise one. In Politics: No permanent enemy. But permanent interest. Mallam Nuhu Ribadu wants to actualize his dreams, mission and vision as Governor of his state before vying for the exhaulted office of the President in the coming years. I wish him Good luck.

he may not even be planning to win. He may just want to sow discord and disagreement among other aspirants. This may cause inner division in adamawa pdp and give apc some leverage to win the election

Your thinking cap is fitted well on your head.


A Ribadu who went all around the north trying to woo the rebel PDP governors over, a Ribadu who has some level of integrity and has proven it times without number, a Ribadu who was running all around for Nyako not to be impeached suddenly now becomes disenchanted with the party under a month? A Ribadu who will clearly give any candidate a good run in the election not withstanding his party affiliation will not need to soil his name by decamping just to achieve that aim!!!

Will the likes if Bamanga Tukur's son, Buba Marwa and Fintiri, the current acting Governor sit down on the fence and watch a "newbie" displace them in a twinkle of an eye?

The APC have made no "much effort" to keep one of their best hand in the party and some people feel that's normal?

Have you peeps celebrating thought for a few seconds that Ribadu might not be interested in the governorship after all except to go and be a spoiler.

If he is fielded, then it might become a situation of fielding two APC members for governorship against each other!!

A win-win situation.

Only time will tell.

There is more to this cross-carpeting than we could ever imagine. I suspect someone is acting a script. Common, these APC stalwarts wouldn't have allowed him to go like that. I think the ruling party shouldn't celebrate yet. 2015 is gonna be interesting. let's vote in the credible candidates

come 2019 it will be the turn of either the north east or north central. The north east has never produce the number one man since the days of tafawa balewa. The candidates that stand a better chance are:
Nuhu ribadu given he has once contested the position
David Mark
Muazu the game changer
