Former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Malam Nuhu Ribadu, decided to join the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) because he felt like an “orphan” in the All Progressives Congress (APC), confidants of the retired police officer have told TheCable. On July 31, 2014, TheCable broke the story on the pressure on Ribadu to run for governorship in Adamawa State on the platform of PDP. The former anti-graft czar complained to friends privately that the impeachment of Vice Admiral Murtala Nyako as governor had effectively destroyed Adamawa APC as all key politicians had defected to PDP, leaving Ribadu and former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar as the only big names in the opposition party. “Earlier, Ribadu had
been advised by Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Chief Bisi Akande to go for governorship in Adamawa ─ a clearmessage that he should not give the presidential ticket a shot again,” a Ribadu associate told The Cable. This, the source said, was a clearpointer to the fact that Ribadu was no longer “highly regarded by the APC hierarchy at the national level”. At the state level, Ribadu had never been comfortable being in the same party with Atiku, whom he indicted on corruption charges in 2006 when he was EFCC chairman and Atiku was vice-president to President Olusegun Obasanjo. The courts later cleared Atiku of any wrongdoing. “If
Ribadu decided to stay back in APC, it would be difficult for him to work with Atiku whose political calculations no one can ever be certain about,” the source added, revealing that Ribadu worked “day and night” to help Nyako escape impeachment while Atiku“did not lift a finger until it was too late”. Ribadu surprised many political analysts in 2010 when he joined the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN, now part of APC) to contest for the 2011 presidential election against President Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP. However, he only won in Osun State out of the states under the control of ACN in what many alleged was a betrayal by the ACN leaders who were said to have struck a secret deal with Jonathan before the poll. “Nuhu took it on his chin then, hoping that 2011 was a good introduction to politics for him. But recent events in APC have demonstrated to him that he is no longer wanted in the
party,” the associate said. There are also bigger calculations about 2019 ─when presidency is expected to return to the north if Jonathan contests and is re-elected next year. Ribadu could be in the frame then.

Indeed. The fraudster mentality surely dwells in our insincere brother and village herbalist Ifeanyi. That is why he says one thing when he means another. Who want's analysis that is going to be "wrong"? What for? Does that make sense to anyone? Or is it that these duplicitous charlatans are waiting for their superior to speak before they decide how to comment? Yeye people.

If these are indeed Ribadu's calculations then he's made a very big mistake and he will soon realize that the safest way to get 1 is 1+0 and not any other way. Non of the PDP northern chiefs has any significant followership, unfortunately for him he needs endorsement of those he has jilted in APC, except he hopes PDP rigs d election for him as usual.

superior argument of swearing that ribadu will never decamp?
park well jare

Nuhu Ribadu is a gentle man. I like him. Though he has a lot to learn, he will make a good politician under the Umbrella.
His decision to defect to PDP is perhaps, the best political move he had ever made. Once again welcome to PDP. The biggest and the best political party in Africa.

Gbawe is surely a threat to @insincerenigerian. He must be seeing Gbawe in his dream. Haba.

a kinda blurry insight into Nyako's impeachment..... could it be because "they" wanted ribadu step down from presidential contest to gobernatorial? hence Nyako impeachment?

I greet all of you in this thread.
@Ribadu...I hope you won't be Atikued

mogentle: Gbawe is surely a threat to @insincerenigerian. He must be seeing Gbawe in his dream. Haba.

The obsession is crazy. And not just him, many of the Jonathan/PDP cheerleaders too. I'm sure they see him in their dreams.

Funny thing is that Gbawe's future and that of his family is secured. It's these crumb-catchers who need to worry about their miserable lives.

GBAWE now also "feels like an orphan" amongst the e-supporter of APC.
