Nuhu Ribadu defends his defection from APC to PDP

Former EFCC boss Nuhu Ribadu has defended his defection from APC to PDP, which he announced over the weekend. Speaking through his spokesperson Abdulaziz Abdulaziz to Punch, Ribadu said;

"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. But there is no any party that is exclusively for the good people or for the bad people.”.

He said that his defection was not borne out of his desperation to realize his political ambition but was based on his patriotic zeal to serve the country and its people.

“It is not true that he (Ribadu) was desperate to realize his political ambition. This is because this decision was taken in the overriding interest of serving the people. What matters for him is service. That is why even when he was a member of the opposition party, when government asked him to serve the country, he accepted the offer and he did a wonderful job that everybody hailed except those who don’t want change in the system. If you are ready to serve the people, sometimes you will have to do something that is not even palatable to yourself.” he said

Well meanwhile, sometime in April see what Oga Ribadu said about his rumored defection from APC . You will be so convinced he chose his words carefully .. oh well na so the thing go .
