Barely 2 days after his defection from the All
Progressives Congress (APC) was announced, the former Chairman of the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Nuhu Ribadu has
officially joined the race for the governorship of Adamawa. Springing up a surprise from the opposition.
This was confirmed when a political associate, Alhaji Hamidu Mahmud, picked up the Expression of Interest and Nomination Form on Ribadu’s behalf.
Mahmud said:
“Yes, we have applied. The framers of the PDP Constitution didn’t insert a waiver clause in anticipation of Ribadu.
“ He is expected to enjoy it and we are awaiting the directive of the PDP’s National Working Committee (NWC).”
There are now a total of 7 aspirants for the Adamawa gubernatorial seat including Acting Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintri, former Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Dr. Aliyu Idi Hong, former Special Adviser on Political Matters to the President, Ahmed Gulak and Awwal Tukur, the son of former PDP Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur.
Let us wait for what is going to happen........
