Ex-Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, has declared that the All Progressives
Congress (APC) is not better than the ruling Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP).
He made the declaration yesterday while justifying his defection, on
Saturday, from APC to PDP – a move that shocked many political observers
considering the fact that Ribadu was the 2011 presidential candidate of
the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, one of the parties that merged
to form APC last year.
The PUNCH quotes Ribadu as saying through his spokesman, Mr.
Abdulaziz Abdulaziz: “In Nigeria, especially in politics, you can’t say
that this is an exclusive party for the people who are thieves or this
is for good people.
“It’s just like saying that all Yorubas are this or all Igbos are
this. In every group of people, there must be good people and there are
bad people. Of course, the good may be more than the bad or the bad may
be more than the good in any group.
