A great insult indeed.

When the appointment of Adeniyi  as special adviser to Yaradua
was been discussed his publisher was first consulted and he
insisted that his editor would not take any title less than
senior special adviser.

Yes, Ribadu as the presidential candidate for ACN is ACN property.

Ribadu has his reasons but he must know  by now that his political
career in ACN is over.

Nothing wrong with Ribadu talking the position except that when we look at our government, its often a recycling of the same old same old.

Nevertheless, Tinubu has no case here. Talking to Ribadu alone is like talking to ACN, and I didnt know that people can be the "property" of a political mango party.

Well in most countries in the world its considered wrong to serve in another party government unless of course you defect totally .

Obama's former ambassador to China (I think his name is Huntsmann) is a republican, in fact he contested for GOP presidential nomination.

"Poach" ?

When he is not a football player signed to a club

So is ACN ribadu's employer?

No wonder you people see the life of a politician as a career.

Abeg use sensible analogies jor

Tinubu dey vex say Ribadu don hammer without guaranteeing him his own cut.

Omo_Tier1:

I beg to disagree with your submission regarding Ribadu's appointment. Your comparison to taking up a job with a company is neither here nor there! ACN contested an election against the PDP and PDP emerged the ruling party. Ribadu being a member of the ACN ought to contact His party of the offer made by the PDP led government. This is how it is done in snesible democracy. Mind you, this will in no way stop Him from taking up the appointment rather it serves the purpose of letting the party know that He would be joining the GIP to render His services to the nation, hence His actions should be treated by His party as a non-binding action bearing in mind His party's manifestos.

Omo tier, I have always looked forward to your comments here on Nairaland.

1. Ribadu being an ACN member does not mean he has to take permission from ACN to go for a job ( not really an appointment as the media make it).

2. PDP did not appoint Ribadu to a political appointment per-se as the case of a ministerial position etc, He was appointed head the Petroleum Revenue Task Force thus more like an anti-corruption body. this has nothing to do with party or else he would be considered biased.

you get my sentiment

why should ribadu listen to ACN or tinubu after they abandoned him and voted for jonathan, ribadu belongs to nigeria and not ACN, hypocrites,

afam4eva:

How can he work for a government he termed useless. What does that make him?

How does terming a government useless affect his ability to perform the task he has been given?

Saga how far?

Tinubu itching to sell Ribadu again.

GEJ is going to do the selling this time though. Who is Ribadu going to arrest, Diezani-Madueke?

Lol. Poor Ribadu.

I don't see anything wrong in Ribadu's action or PDP's action. ACN and PDP to a large extent do not have strong political Ideologies or School of thought that contradict one another. There is nothing wrong in Ribadu's actions as far as i am concerned.

tkb417:

Iwor? O shi wa la'ye yi sha?

Abeg, helep me go and beg Boko Haram about that thing I discussed with you the last time. Dem dey spoil show. No discuss the thing here sha.

ill send you sms now

The poor Ribadu has accepted the job with flimpsy excuse. From Oga to boy boy

Naija no dey carry last! Ribadu left PDP and joined CAN and it was on principle. He left CAN back to PDP, it is poaching. Lol. No wonder Gani insisted this man has Toronto degree. Gani was spot on!

I dey laff o!

I just dislike this Tinubu, does he want pdp to beg him b4 appointing ribadu. Ribadu abeg ride on jor, just want Tinubu to know that EKITI are waiting for him in 2014, i know by then he would come and campaign for kayode fapounda. By then he would see the other side of Ekiti through vote. Maybe it will be begining of downfall of this ACN in Southwest.

I don't get it Tinubu, you are not usually this fussy and flippant when the carpet is drawn off your feet. haba! ACN used Ribadu solely as a tool and when he was not useful to their agenda, the dropped him back into the toolbox, haba you want the guy to rust-away politically

Hmmm

Tinubu should have taken this up with Ribadu in private, he should have directed his anger at Ribadu and not GEJ, we know the PDP government do not know anything about decorum. Ribadu should have at least for appearance sake spoken to the party chairman about his intentions to accept the offer, he does not know if he will need the people he snubbed now in the future.

johnie:

I dey laff o!

No need to laugh. As it is in the begining, so it shall be. Tai Solarin, Wole Soyinka etc all said crap about the military adm of IBB, yet they served in that same adm.
No be today.

Yorubas one rampage once more. Ribadu knows that ACN yorooba party has no vision and morals. Imagine a party filled with rascals. Even Tinubu had to sell SW votes to PDP out of greed leaving Ribadu in the cold. Ribadu please ride on biko.

na wa ohh.

Tinubu don recharge, now hes back to discharge.

Abeg just give us better huspita for naija.

afam4eva:

Ribadu is a shameless pig. How could he work with a government that he sooo castigated when he was a presidential candidate under ACN. Our politicians never cease to surprise us. They're all the same irrespective of party affiliation. They're all pigs.

I DISAGREE, AFAM. WHEN SOMEONE CONSISTENTLY CASTIGAGES AND CRITISIZES A PARTY, ORGANISATION, OR GOVERNMENT, HE IS IMPLYING THAT THINGS ARE NOT BEING RUN THE WAY IT SHOULD BE AND THAT THEY HAVE BETTER IDEAS. SO WHEN THEY ARE CALLED UPON TO SERVE, IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO PRESENT BETTER OPTIONS THAT WILL LEAD TO POSITIVE CHANGES THEY ARE AGITATING FOR. YOU SHOULD NOT DECLINE TO AVAIL YOUR SERVICES TO BRING ABOUT THE CHANGES YOU HAVE BEEN CLAMOURING FOR. IF YOU DO, ON WHAT BASIS WOULD YOU CONTINUE TO BERATE THAT GOVERNMENT SINCE YOU REFUSED TO SERVE TO HELP BRING ABOUT  THE POSITIVE CHANGES YOU DESIRE. PARTY AFFILIATIONS SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH SERVICE TO YOUR COUNTRY. AS SOMEONE POINTED OUT EARLIER, JOHN HUNTSMAN, A REPUBLICAN, WAS PRESIDENT OBAMA`S FORMER AMBASSADOR TO CHINA. TODAY, ALTHOUGH HE`S ALREADY OUT OF THE RACE, HE CAMPAIGNED TO BE THE NOMINEE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TO CONTEST AGAINST BARACK OBAMA IN NOVEMBER`S PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

Seems Tinubu wants to be docked again
He has been chopping alone -forgetting their presidential candidate
Now that Ribadu has seen a ray of hope & has accepted the offer Tinubu shd allow him

Well in politics all games are fair. PDP has out-shined ACN
If PDP is able to destabilize ACN so be it
Why didnt Tinubu prevail on Ribadu to distance himself from the job?
Are they preparing grounds to suspend Ribadu?
Is ACN just realising that Adamawa isnt a fertile state?
Once beaten twice shy. Atiku will just be laughing

BREAKING NEWS,
The manager of ACN FC has accused the management of PDP UNITED FC of taking their striker NUHU RIBADU on loan without first writing to the CLUB for approval. The manager said the offence is called POACHING in FIFA rule,
Details later.

This is why Nigeria is such a fcukkeddd up country. The government is bleeped up and even the citizenry is fcukked up in their ways and thinking.

They have been fuckkedd with so much that they don't even know right from wrong It's like something got to be wrong as long as the messenger is not in our camp.

Basic curtsey and how to do things is not only a major problem, even the ability and intellectual capacity to demand curtsey is a bigger problem.

Many Nigerians have zero self esteem and self worth that they don't mind to be dissed, they don't mind to be disrespected and even insulted. How do a presidential candidate that's blasted the opposition endlessly deep down to the foundation of the same opposition and what it stands for, then turn around to be a common errand boy for the same worthless opposition he's blasted and campaigned against? Not even a cabinet position for a whole presidential candidate, but instead a worthless glorified parastatal on top of so many worthless parastatals doing the same damn thing.

We are talking about a meaningless and decorative position with no power or authority over anything but just to be a common shopkeeper to look after shop while the same rot flows right by him with no power or authority to do anything about it. They'll use and dirty him with their mess and toss him aside.

Politically, he's done. Maybe just another PDP Ghana must go honorable, but never a serious and trustworthy political player. He sold his soul to the devil for nothing.

I disagree with you in totality. We all should be prepared to serve our country, if called upon to do so, in any capacity, irrespective of political affiliations. We cannot continually criticise the rot in Nigeria while refusing to partake practically (serving) in navigating our country out of the myriad of problems bedevilling us as a nation.

Niseamaka:

Serving your country and taking your turn to be part of the rot and decay are two different things,

They did not appoint him to serve you, he's their to help clean PDP's dirty image that he himself can not do.

In what way is he serving you? Can you explain to us the nature of his job and how it = Serving Nigeria.

If PDP really care about you and Nigeria, they'll give him a position that goes with his skills, experience and qualifications.


The man was a police and a crime fighter with gun, badge and law enforcement power to put bad people in jail, not a worthless and powerless shopkeeper.
