FORMER
Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Nuhu Ribadu,
on Friday abandoned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and returned to the All
Progressives Congress (APC) in which he left in 2014 for PDP.
Mr.
Ribadu in a statement he posted on his Facebook page said that he rejoined the
party online on Friday, and then hosted officials of the party from his Bako
Ward in Yola South Local Government Area of Adamawa State...
He
added that on Friday, he visited the Yola South secretariat of the APC to
present himself to the party adding that he made up mind to return to the
ruling party after due consideration particularly in the overall interest of
the nation.
“My
decision to return to the APC was triggered by my belief that all politics are
local. Almost everyone around me, and with whom we started my political journey
believed the time had come for us to make sacrifices and make concessions. That
is in addition to the unbelievable love that my friends in the APC have showered
on me in the past months.
“They
demonstrated in words and action that they wanted me back home. The intractable
crises in the PDP also made it impossible for one to contribute to the
necessary task of building a viable opposition platform for our country.
“I
also did a deep and long reassessment of the circumstances that warranted my
exit from the APC in the first place. I left the APC in 2014 owing to
fundamental disagreements with the ways the chapter of the party in my state
was run after it fell into some hands.
“Today I heeded the
calls on me to return to the All Progressives Congress (APC), a party of which
I was a founding member.
“I re-registered as
a member of the APC last night through the party’s online portal. After that,
the leadership of the party in my Bako ward of Yola South Local Government Area
visited me in my Yola residence to welcome me back to their fold.
“This afternoon, I
visited the Yola South secretariat of the party to present myself and submit to
the leadership as a loyal party man.
“My decision to
return to the APC was triggered by my belief that all politics are local.
Almost everyone around me, and with whom we started my political journey
believed the time had come for us to make sacrifices and make concessions. That
is in addition to the unbelievable love that my friends in the APC have
showered on me in the past months”, Ribadu said.
