-Set To Slug It Out With Nuhu Ribadu ands Umaru Fintiri
People’s Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirant in Adamawa State, Gen. Buba Marwa (retd) has picked the nomination form for the party’s ticket. It had been widely speculated that he is one of the contestants for the by-elections in Adamawa scheduled for the 11th of October.
Others, who have purchased their nomination form include, the Acting Governor, Umaru Fintiri, a former Executive Secretary of the Universal Basic Education Commission, Dr. Ahmed Mohammed Modibbo and the immediate past Special Adviser on Political Matters to the President, Ahmed Gulak.
One candidate will emerge from the party’s primaries on the 6th of September.
The former Military of Administrator of Lagos State and former
Nigeria’s Ambassador to South-Africa has been endorsed widely by party members and elders in the state.
A local politician based in Yola, Solomon Gaya, said “Marwa will be a good governor for Adamawa State. His experience as a former governor of Lagos State where he performed very well will count for us. Our state, which is currently challenged by insecurity and under emergency requires the leadership of someone like Marwa who knows the terrain very well as a former governor of Old Borno State (with Yobe State)”.
“We can’t afford to get it wrong this time as a people,” Gaya added.
