PDP Made Ribadu A Laughing Stock - Kwankwaso

Governor Rabi’u Kwanwaso of
Kano State said the former EFCC
chairman, Nuhu Ribadu has been made a laughing stock by the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) who dropped him from the Adamawa gubernatorial race.

The governor stated this yesterday, September 10, at the
Government House in Kano while
receiving merit awards from two
NGOs namely, APC Kwankwasiyya
Amana, Bauchi state chapter and
Nigeria 774 Kwankwasiyya Merger:
Kwankwaso for President, Leadership reports.

Ribadu who recently defected
from the APC and seven other
governorship aspirants stepped
down last week from the race for
the gubernatorial ticket, under the
platform of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP).

Kwankwaso said: “After he left the
APC for the PDP, his new party did
not find him worthy of its
gubernatorial ticket. I am sure the
PDP stakeholders in Adamawa are
now laughing at him. We sympathise with him”.

According to him, the Adamawa
state PDP chose a candidate
whom most of their supporters
see as incompetent, while
pointing out that APC had come
up with a credible candidate in
person of Senator Muhammad
Jibrila Bindaw who can rule the
state.

He therefore appealed to the
people to think wisely in the
forthcoming gubernatorial
election in the state, dump the
PDP which caused hardship within
the 5-years they’ve been in power
and vote for the APC which is
ready to bring about positive and
realistic changes in the whole
country.

The Adamawa governorship
election is about a month away
and the political parties are
gearing up for the competition.

The PDP held its primaries last
week and the Adamawa State
acting governor Ahmadu Fintiri
defeated other aspirants in the
party , clinching 624 votes during
Saturday election in Yola, thereby
becoming PDP candidate for the
October 11 governorship election
in the state.

Meanwhile, a serving Senator,
Bindo Jibrilla won the APC
primaries, polling 2,718 votes.

The Independent National
Electoral Commission scheduled
the Adamawa election for October
11, 2014, after the former
governor Murtala Nyako, was
removed from his office on July
15, 2014, by the state House of
Assembly.
