Nuhu Ribadu |
Some members of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP in Adamawa State are beginning to raise eyebrows about whether there are not saboteurs in the national body of the party who want to destroy it.
According to some of them
who would not hesitate to swear on it, the National Working Committee
of the party could be serving their masters elsewhere.
They posit that the body, in
their quest for power and wealth have failed to realize that they
are tarnishing the hard earned image of President Goodluck Jonathan,
whose image is being tarnished by those ignorant of the goings on at
Wadata Plaza.
In Adamawa state, the
purported election of Malam Nuhu Ribadu has not only drawn the ire of the
electorate but curses and indignation from the people as well. Aside the State Assembly
primaries which was duly held in the state, and was void of rancor, no primaries
for the National and Governorship seats has taken place.
To the shock of many
however, it was devastating to hear of a purported primaries in Abuja
even when the state was not on fire as alleged by the powers that
be. They cited the successful
primaries conducted in Adamawa by the All Progressive Congress (APC).
At a stakeholders meeting
held on Monday at its PDP secretariat, stakeholders of the party
said their attention was drawn to the announcement of Malam Nuhu
Ribadu as the PDP candidate in Adamawa State.
To this end, they anchored,
“we the PDP Exco, stakeholders and the entire supporters
disassociate ourselves from the purported primaries and fictitious announcement.
According to General Aliyu
Kama (rtd) who read the text of the message on behalf of the other
governorship aspirants the only legal primaries that ever took place in
Adamawa was the State Assembly primaries.
They called on the National
Working Committee of the PDP to as a matter of urgency cancel the
purported illegal primaries held in Abuja, which they see as a
contravention to the court orders and the electoral act and should
also organize and conduct the remaining primaries.

National Assembly and Governorship as provided for in the law.
It is gathered that all the aggrieved governorship candidates signed the text.
