The
Adamawa State Governor, Bala Ngilari has described the emergence of a former
Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Nuhu Ribadu, as the
governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party [PDP] in the state as
God’s answer to the cries of the people of Adamawa State, who he said have been
yearning for good governance in the past 16 years.
Mr.
Ngilari, who spoke at a ‘Thank You’ rally held by the party at Jada on
Saturday, said Mr. Ribadu’s record as an astute administrator and fighter of
corruption placed him in good stead as the right man needed by the state at
this time.
The
governor further stated that the PDP in the state was formidable enough to
retain the positions it currently occupies. He said with Mr. Ribadu on the
ballot, the party was sure to emerge successful at the polls.
Mr.
Ngilari, represented by his deputy governor designate, Sa’ad Tahir, noted that
his aspiration for the party’s nomination and his loss in the contest were acts
of God.
“As
people of God, we know that both Christian and Islamic scriptures have taught
us that no one can give you power or take away power from you, other than God.
I am therefore free of any malice,” he said.
The
governor further reiterated his resolve to ensure total victory for the party
in the state, as he admonished all party men to work for victory.
In
his address, Mr. Ribadu thanked the party’s delegates and other stakeholders
from Jada and other local governments for entrusting the governorship’s ticket
in him. He pledged not to let them down if he eventually succeeds at the
general election.
“I
am in this for the good of Adamawa State,” he said. “Our aim is to see that Adamawa
takes its rightful place among states of Nigeria. We want to uphold the
sanctity of human dignity through provision of essential life tools.”
