Just saw this on STV 

just watch how all them azzlickers are gonna come back with shame written all upon their head few months from now. i pity for ribadu, there's no hope for him again ever. Ribadu your aso rock dreams are gone for good.

Dude lack any ideology, he's just in it for the money.

That's just as well. The ACN always was a liability on Ribadu and remains the biggest dent on his reputation.

Dats d best ACN could do nw, atleast to distance themselves from him, i mean, it is highly irresponsible of Ribadu to have taken up dat job, i knw he said he took d job in hs own capacity blah blah blah, but 4 cryn out loud he s nt jst an opposition, he was d presidential candidate of dat party (ACN),, besides d last time i checkd we r nt running a unity govnment, so he'd better move 2 d PDP cos clearly u cant serve 2 masters at a time.

Ps- i knw ds politicians dont stand by any ideology whatsoever buh dey shld pretend lyk dey do sometimes!

Gbam! well said.

If we go down this route where will it end. If ACN is in the centre of power tommorrow and a CPC or APGA or PDP man with certain competencies is engaged to tackle a very critical issue of national importance, he should reject it on what basis, the toga of party politics ??. Nigerian comes first before politics. The institution being investigated is not a political one and affects us all. If the government feels he is the best man for the job so be it. He should drop his party mentality and get to work. Period. Is he called to serve the nation or serve PDP. Is it only PDP that buys petrol or is the NNPC a PDP department. Let us draw the line between politics and governance. It is getting lost on a good number of us. If we go down this route very soon there will be political party banks, industries, tv. stations, and perhaps even fast food joints. Funny.

So joining the PDP will burnish  his reputation, abi? Clown

Absolutely wrong move. This shows us that ALL these opposition parties are regional parties with regional ideologies.

Waiting to see the opinion of ACN supporters on this.

This is a presidential system of government. The president can appoint from within his party, opposition or even non-party members.
Some people do not see anything good no matter what, In the US, the secretary of defence Obama inherited from Bush has been with his administration until recent appointment of Panetta.

GEJ's appointments have been good. Or tell me, who else fits in Finance Minisstry? Dieziani Madueke has been in the oil industry for a long time. She knows. People seem to sabotage every of his effort for reasons best know to them.

Let's speak truthfully to ourselves. Ribadu was the presidential candidate for action congress, how many action congress states voted Ribadu? Why deceive ourselves; Ribadu cannot be deceived either.  Ribadu was first dumped by action congress at the polls and so he is a free man. Let him be.

@ Reference, your position would be ideal in a clime where the govt is all about service
Christ always tells his followers to repent in a bid to reconnect to God
Has PDP made any effort to cleanse itself of corruption?
Was it not in 9ja a PDP minister say of Bola Ige 'We invited him to come and chop, he's making noise'
Is it that ministries are not catering outlets?
Is it not in 9ja that a convicted PDP bigwig left prison for a church 'thanksgiving' service and an afterparty all on national TV?
And to think you expect the YY cybercafe hustler to repent? [not that I'm justifying him]

This is not politics. Afterall he rose to popularity under a past government led by the PDP. In that government he was not a politician but a professional but it was the ACN that made political capital out of his professionalism so why the query now. The government is just trying to revert him back to his prfessionalism, put the square peg back into the square hole. Let's be honest does Ribadu look like a politician in any way shape or form. I personally am not too convinced about the man neither do I credit him entirely with any little success the EFCC garnered. I always feel more for the institutions surrounding individuals and not just the operatives hence my serious doubts about the level of success he will enjoy. However if the ACN feels they own the man can they lend him to the country and kindly take him back in peace after his tenure is over.

[size=15pt]You took the words outta my mouth! It was Ribadu that was dumped by ACN. Afterall this is an oppotunity to regain his credentials by being honest, OPEN and expose the rot in the system. Nigerians will be grateful for that. We need people who have excelled and can walk the talk, not paper tigers. this is the chance for Ribadu to rebuild PUBLIC TRUST IN HIM.[/size]

[size=15pt]I concur with most of what you are saying. However may I say that institutions don't develop themselves. They are built by dedicated people first before they become strong enough to be what they are supposed to be. The strength of any institution is the result of the commitment of its founding fathers - those who lay the ground rules impartially and set the tone for how the institution will be run [/size]

That is politics,they will soon settle it

Lwkmd ACN has added cry babies to their CV how can they disown what they don have in the first place after the drama they had with ribadu after the election. I guess ribadu would be sticking out his middle finger to ACN

Why do we always deceive our selves? Was it not the same ACN that help to install Jonathan? Ribadu was dumped when he needed the party most. Tinubu asked his supporters to vote for PDP at national level and ACN at the state level when Ribadu was left without.

Am Highly disappointed in ACN Leadership!!!

Thats to show how selfish they are,

They only believe in themselves,

I am beginning to regret voting for them in the past Elections

ACN should go and hug Power Plant.


Ribadu is broke and needs money.

PDP does not belong to Nigeria, It belong to all of us,

It is a call to national service,

Thank you Ribadu for accepting this offer, f***ck ACN

well said Nigeria come first, we all know that Ribadu can not be a president at this time so his free to work for any govt

You guys are just being funny, ACN is right to distance itself (though I support Ribadu serving with reservations), they are in the opposition and their presidential candidate should have notified them of his intention and should resign from the party if he is going against his party's wish. We need an opposition that is ready to stand on its own.

And somebody will wake up to tell me that ACN is an opposition party to PDP?? ACN is a toy party, PDP will continue to dominate Nigeria election untile we have two party system and not all this tribal party system

Nuhu Ribadu Disowned By A.C.N

Eh yaaaaa.

I never knew that Ribadu was owned by ACN!!!

Ans now they have disowned him.      

Em em ,  em . Ahh! Poor Ribadu, who will own him now?

Okay, Ribdau come let me own you.

I didnt know PDP has been existing since since 1980. You have crawled out of your hole again, abi? So Tai Solarin worked in PDP government? You are officially a big kpof kpof!

And I didnt also know that ACN states are corruption free. Some of you ACN supporters have becoming so delusional, you are now hallucinating! It is very pathetic but definitely not suprising. You lot are bare faced hypocrites. But I know Ribadu is wiser than you lot. Imagine after Tinubu went to Abuja to negotiate for himself to become the vice presidential candidate to Buhari and even asked Bakare to sign a letter of resignation, you come here and talk bullcrap. Ewu!

ACN my yansh.

Aziwaju Congress Party.

Owambe useless Yoruba party

see drama! By fugitive politicians.

Yes,we are saying the same thing but you have to understand that institutions are never completed so you will be hard pressed to credit individuals for their successes or failures. What I mean by the institutions surrounding individuals is for example. I cannot entirely blame Ribadu's failures on him or his staff. He was appointed by someone, was paid by someone who largely dictated the tune. We accuse him of failing to prosecute certain people without considering the role of the Police Force, the Judiciary, the Executive (his employers) and the people of Nigeria (his largest constituency). These are the bodies that come together to forge anti-corruption institutions or destroy them. Any weakness in the above parties and the operatives in it fail. You cannot have an effective anti-corruption agency without having the majority on board and the minority at the sharp end of the stick whether they are operatives or not. The problem in Nigeria is that the good guys are in the minority.

As it concerns this case the opposition ACN does not have to do everything to make the present government fail to prove a point. Opposition also means vetting actions and querrying inactions for the greaer good of the country. If they were to win in 2015 will they accept a failed petroleum industry till then to prove they are the better party. If they are wiser they can even make political capital out of it saying it is our man, our flagbearer that salvaged the situation so vote him in 2015 for President. Let's put this thing in perspective and draw the line between politics and governance or as a nation we will never maximise our potentials. Not everything is broom and umbrella.
