Peoples Democratic Party's candidate in Adamawa State, Nuhu Ribadu,
has received the endorsement of four of his challengers, who stepped
down for him.
The candidates declared their support for the former EFCC chairman at
a press conference held Thursday in Yola, the state capital.
Those who have endorsed Mr. Ribadu were the candidates of KOWA party,
Mega Progressive Peoples Party, MPPP; National Conscience Party, NCP;
and All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA.
A spokesperson for the group, Abdulnasir Hamman, and candidate of MPPP
said "our decision was compelled by our desire to put in place a
credible government that Adamawa people can be proud".
According him, "it is because of the quality we found in Mr. Ribadu
that the leadership of our various parties decided to work together
with PDP's Nuhu Ribadu in the forthcoming election".
It would be recalled that the same group had earlier declared its
support for the Peoples Democratic Movement, PDM, candidate in the
coming governorship election.
In apparent reference to their initial political alliance, the
parties' spokesman said "We were misguidedly tangled into a
partnership that we thought will yield something positive for the
people of Adamawa".
