· Trouble brews in Nigeria’s ruling party for the umpteenth time
Nuhu Ribadu’s heart is full of song. Mellifluous notes flit through his belly like dapper-winged butterflies. The fireflies dance in his eyes like winged fluorescents of the dale. Happiness and sweet delight sparkle in his eyes like glazed orbs of the eastern muse. The former governorship and presidential aspirant is elated over his recent recall into the fold of the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).
As you read, Ribadu has returned to the APC. The former Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Chairman got a letter from Adamawa State chapter of the party seeking his return to the party. Thus he is going to be readmitted with a former governorship candidate of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria( ACN ) in the state, Marcus Gundiri, with their supporters.
But former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, Adamawa State Governor Jibrilla Bindow, and two others have protested to National Chairman of the party, John Odigie-Oyegun, and the National Working Committee (NWC) against Ribadu’s return.
