Foremost Ijaw
leader and political father of President Goodluck Jonathan, Chief Edwin
Clark, has described Nuhu Ribadu, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP)
new decampee, as not being trustworthy.
Reading an open letter addressed to the national chairman of the
party, Alhaji Adamu Mu'azu, this morning, he said the PDP would be
making the biggest mistake of its life if it granted a waiver to the
former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to
enable him contest the Adamawa State governorship primaries next week. Continue...
He recalled how President Goodluck Jonathan restored Ribadu’s rank of
assistant inspector general of police and retired him gracefully after
he had been dismissed, an action he said Ribadu refused to be grateful
for.
On the contrary, he stressed, Ribadu has on many occasions embarrassed the President with his actions.
Clark said that bringing Ribadu into the PDP would dent the image of
the party and also affect its fortune in Adamawa State, where he said
Ribadu has no value, politically.
"In 2011 election, Ribadu ran for President on the platform of the
defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, lost at his family home polling
booth, and also his ward, scored a mere 32 votes in Yola, and 32,786
total in Adamawa, against Gen. Muhammadu Buhari's 344,526 and President
Goodluck Jonathan's 508,314," he recalled.
