Ribadu In Big Mess: PDP Senators dump him, decamp to APC

The Adamawa governorship hope of former EFCC chairman, Nuhu Ribadu, has been left in tatters with the desertion of the  Peoples Democratic Party by bigwigs who have now moved into the APC.

Leading the defectors was former Deputy Senate Majority Leader, Jonathan Zwingina. Othes were a former Minister of External Affairs, Idi Hong, and two serving Senators, Bello Tukur and Ahmed Barata.

Senator Zwingina, who spoke on behalf of the defectors, said they decided to pitch their tent with the APC to support the party’s governorship candidate, Bindow Jibrilla.

In his words: “We are positive of the change going on now in the country; we believe in the candidacy of Bindow.”

Another top politicians in Adamawa, Sadiq Haske has also decamped to the APC from the PDP.

Zwingina and Hong lost in their bid to represent Adamawa Central and Southern district in the National Assembly elections held on March 28 on the platform of the PDP.

They all met with the president-elect Muhammadu Buhari who was in Yola to campaign for the APC.
