President Muhammadu Buhari has been urged to bring in people like former anti-corruption czar and Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Malam Nuhu Ribadu, to help pursue his agenda of probity, fight corruption and ensure that those who feast on the common wealth are made to return it.
President of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Coalition for Peace and Mobilisation (NACOPEM), Comrade Ahmed Saleh made the call on Tuesday in Abuja. Speaking at the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the association, Comrade Saleh also voiced the readiness of the group to reach out to some important members of the APC, who either left the party in anger or were misled into leaving in the run up to the 2015 general elections.
Saleh however, insisted that “We need the likes of Nuhu Ribadu and many others to rejoin the party and support this government to fight corruption and help Mr President address the multifaceted problems we have been facing since independence”.
The group said as part of its assigned mandate, as members of the peace and mobilisation of the APC, its investigations revealed that what the government needs at this critical point in time to fight corruption is for President Buhari to call on credible Nigerians, who it said possess the know-how, intelligence, ability and the strategy to fight corruption.
“I mention people like Ribadu because I remember when $15 million was brought to him in an attempt to bribe him. How many people can resist such temptation at this present day? Today, former Governor James Ibori is in jail partly due to his efforts,” he said. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Well it sound good but Ribadu mis- fired when he allowed PDP looters party brain wash him to join their party. Many people do like him but there's no way for him again. It pains a lot of people why he left APC. Well I don't think it will work.
ReplyDeleteWell you don't expect Ribadu to stay put to visionless collection of people call APC, he has the right and freedom to join any party of his choice. Besides, he is not asking or begging for that position. The best of brains are all outside the shore of APC, the party of blames and counter blames. Nothing working cause they weren't prepared for were they found themselves; the corridors of power, there expectation of war and blood bath was caught short and now they are in the deep blue sea knowing not what to do. The President is head and feet sock in the very corruption he claimed to be fighting, what a life. The sooner the government of the day own up to their lapses and bring in the best hand from PDP, ppd, dpp, etc the better. Always learn to look beyond the frame of APC for the betterment of Nigeria, cause you can't find the finest of brains in the APC for they are not there.
DeleteSo APC is now the party of saints....I laigh at your argument...
Deletegood option I think!
