ADAMAWA GUBER POLL: JONATHAN DUMPS RIBADU

President Jonathan has reportedly withdrawn his backing of Mallam Nuhu Ribadu,former chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission ahead of the Oct. 11 governorship election in Adamawa State.
According to an informed source, the Presidency is worried over the disaffection caused by the entrance of Ribadu into the race, especially amid intelligence that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar was positioning to use the acrimony to his advantage.

Checks further revealed that, “The race in the coming days is likely to be very interesting but we have all resolved to be very careful be­cause in politics, you cannot take chances, especially ones that are likely to jeopardize the chances of your party. “When the issue of Ribadu first came up, some indices which we are witnessing now had not come up then. “For instance, no one knew that the acting governor was going to be interested. Also, the impression was created that all other aspirants were going to step down for him (Ribadu) on the intervention of a mutual friend of most them who brought the Ribadu option. “But right now, the president has insisted that he cannot support any of the aspirants against others since there appears not be a consensus among them and more so, that the hurdles we thought could be cleared for Ribadu are not just there but are still waxing stronger.
