I know how difficult it may be for you to come to terms with my defection to another party. But I must assure you that it's a carefully considered decision for which I do not wish to hurt anyone's feeling. I'll not embark on a needless animosity with my good friends, irrespective of political, religious, regional and ethnic affiliations.
Let me quickly make it known that I did not issue a statement disparaging APC and its members, including Governors Amaechi, Kwankwaso… These were clearly fabricated, expected backlash, by mischievous characters interested in misleading the public and drawing a picture of non-existent feuds between me and my good friends.
My defection shouldn't be seen as an initiation of political antagonism with my good friends in another party. I still hold them in high esteem, and even where there are marked differences, I believe there are decorous and honorable ways of resolving them. So, kindly disregard any statement said to be by me attacking the personality of any politician since my defection. I'll never allow myself to be drawn into such disrespectful exchange.
As for my next step in this political struggle, this would be made known in due time. For now, I wish to assure you that my defection is in pursuit of a good cause, and never out of any selfish interests as portrayed by a section. Thanks for bearing with me on this decision, and for those who have been in solidarity with my struggles and still giving me the benefits of the doubt, I'm most grateful. I'll never let you down on this new path. Thank you!
-Nuhu Ribadu
Ribadu has gone to where he rightly belongs, roll call of men without honors. He has gone home. From Ribadu of Nigeria to Ribadu of Adamawa.
Within a span of three years Ribadu has shown us that no politician is left in the terrain of Nigerian politics to be trusted. Their words do not mean anything. They care about their wallets. AfricanOrbit welcomes Ribadu to the honor rolls of men whose words should be taken with a grain of salt. It is obvious that whatever Ribadu has told us in the past should be reviewed and discounted. He is not really a man of honor. He does not have his own heart and ready to jump into any ship that will make him relevant. Ribadu is going into the den of the lions without a shepherd. It is very dangerous. Who will make noise and scare the apex predator from preying on him. Ribadu intends to dine with the apex predator .But the Apex Predator, will wine and dine on him. In the end, they will dump his political carcass for the birds of reproach to feed on . His pouch of credibility will be emptied by his political imaturity. He is a political Lilliputian. He ought to stay on the sideline to watch and learn how the ropes are used. He is jumping head on without helmet. It is very dangerous.
