Ribadu wins PDP ticket for Adamawa
The Pioneer Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Nuhu Ribadu has clinched the tickets of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Adamawa state. Mr. Ribadu beat six other contestants including the state governor, Bala Ngilari in an election which held at the Old Parade ground, Abuja‎. The PDP's national Working Committee, NWC, moved the election to Abuja after Mr. Ngilari was accused by a panel sent to the state to conduct primary election for state Assembly aspirants of holding them hostage. Monday's election results which was announced by the chairman of the Election Panel, Rufai Hanga, showed that Mr. Ribadu got 688 votes while, Mr. Ngilari got 26 votes. Other candidates, such as the son of former chairman of the PDP, Bamanga Tukur, Awwal Tukur, got 24 votes and former executive secretary of Universal Basic Education, Commission, UBE‎C, Ahmed Modibbo, got 30 and Retired General Aliyu Kama got 3 votes. Another candidate, Marcus Gundiri, who ran for governor under the platform of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN,  in the 2011‎ election, Marcus Gundiri got 33 votes.

PDP owns Adamawa, Fintiri who is heavily popular was at the primaries and he backed him, Zwingina,Boni Haruna and all the former governors who control Adamawa votes back him. Had the bye election held then, Fintiri would have destroyed Bindow the APC's candidate. Even Buhari lost to GEJ in Adamawa in 2011. It is equally populated by both Muslims and christians.

Democracy in action

PDP is a party full of Chess masters, a lots of pawns have been sacrificed to pave way for the real gladiators.

***in PDP voice*** If you're not satisfied with the outcome of the primaries, then go to court

Anyway, congrats NUHU RIBADU

Cogito ergo sum

Wisdom is a function of Humility and indeed the Principle thing
