PDP suspends Nuhu Ribadu, holds fresh National Assembly primaries in Yola




The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Adamawa State has announced the immediate suspension of former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Malam Nuhu Ribadu, and the Principal Private Secretary to the President, Alhaji Hassan Tukur, for alleged anti-party activities. This was announced after a meeting of Stakeholders of Adamawa State PDP, who also condemned in strong terms the suspension of former National Chairman of the party, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, by PDP National Working Committee (NWC).

The stakeholders, who are leaders of the party, include Governor Bala James Ngilari, Chief Juta, Mr. Andrawus Sawa, Brig-General Buba Marwa (rtd), Senator Grace Bent, Alhaji Mohammed Modibbo, Hajiya Halima, Ngable, and Aliyu Kama, among others.

Rising from their meeting yesterday in Yola, the stakeholders declared the National Assembly party primaries conducted in Abuja as not only illegal but a sham since the real elected delegates did not participate in the primaries. They consequently set in motion a machinery to hold fresh primaries today in Yola.

The decision, they said, was as a result of the refusal of PDP National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, to obey the directive of the Party Leader, President Goodluck Jonathan, to hold the primaries with the agreed list and in Yola. “The directive was clear but the chairman has little or no regards for the president, hence he flouted the directive,” one of the stakeholders alleged.

The stakeholders condemned in strong terms what they described as the orchestrated attempt by Alhaji Mu’azu to destroy the party in the state just to achieve a set agenda.

Accordingly, the stakeholders loyal to the leadership of the party in the state and Governor Bala James Ngilari insisted that that they would conduct a genuine and more acceptable National Assembly primary election using the authentic list adopted and approved at a meeting of all stakeholders in the state two weeks ago.

The fresh primary election is on-going at the Ribadu Square in Yola. Governor Ngilari flew back to Yola to take part in the exercise, which reportedly ahs court backing.

“We are the real PDP, not the thugs that were hired from Nyanya and paid,” said a stakeholder.

The stakeholders therefore challenged Mu’azu to tell public where he got the list he used in the conduct of the Abuja sham primaries from and to tell how the party arrived at such a list.

They specifically accused Mu’azu and Hassan Tukur of desperation to foist Ribadu on the party as governorship candidate. The stakeholders accused Muázu and Tukur of flying about five delegates from each of the local government area of Adamawa State to Abuja on Sunday to participate in the discredited National Assembly primaries.

The stakeholders resolved that they would not allow Mu’azu and Tukur to destroy the party they worked so hard to build and sustain in spite of challenges. They noted that from every indication, the powers in Abuja are determined to frustrate genuine, inclusive and participatory election as well as working against the election of President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.

Somebody is really antagonistic towards Ribadu...I smell a rat

How true is this?

Na wa oooo , it seeems everything in Nigeria fights against the emergence of a good leader

PDP is allergic to good people.

I knew the arrangee primaries held outside the state and allegedly masterminded from the top just with the sole aim of giving Nuhu Ribadu an undue advantage will back-fire

The fact is that Nuhu Ribadu is a paperweight politician especially with regards to having no election-winning structure or the control of the delegates in Adamawa PDP

The Presidency sensed things might not go as planned for Ribadu hence contrived a security excuse as the reason why the primaries should not be held in Adamawa

They are wasting their time,ife bara aba,abago

It is not so,the emergence of good leaders dont just happen in isolation,you have to look at things wholistically

As it stands in Adamawa,the fact is that the delegates seem to have been cornered by the Acting Governor who in his wisdom and smartness offered to absorb all of them into the civil service for the next 4years on a salary of 50k and had given them a form to fill in that regards and most of them seem okay with the idea

The question is what has Ribadu been doing to woo the delegates other than depending on the Presidency and the National Body of the party to help bend the rules in his favour or to help him to do mago-mago to clinch the ticket

kasala don burst

In France where I school, an election meant to hold in Lens can't be taken to Paris at all. . .Security my foot!

NIGERIA MUST DIVIDE

Nuhu, see your life? you're a learner.

Before PDP would sort their mess in different states, APC would have coasted to victory!

I did a 21 days fasting and prayers for PDP to collapse! And God has been faithful!

They are all banking on the PDP rigging machinery and GEJ incumbency.

What is really happening in this country? I fear oo.

Lol PDP finally transformed Nuhu Ribadu to a cattleman

When will Nigerians and it's political parties learn

When we thought we are one step forward. .... Then our actions draws us back another 5steps
