Nuhu Ribadu Leaves PDP, Rejoins APC.



There have been rumors that he left PDP and re -joined APC , a party of which he was a founding member . He has just released a statement confirming the rumors . Read his statement below:


I have finally heeded the calls on me to return to the All Progressives Congress (APC ), a party of which I was a founding member. I re - registered as a member of the APC on Thursday through the party ’s online portal . After that, the leadership of the party in my Bako ward of Yola South Local Government Area visited me in my Yola residence to welcome me back to their fold .

My decision to return to the APC was triggered by my believe that all politics are local . Almost everyone around me , and with whom we started my political journey believed the time had come for us to make sacrifices and make concessions .

That is in addition to the unbelievable love that my friends in the APC have showered on me in the past months . They demonstrated in words and action that they wanted me back home . I also did a deep and long reassessment of the circumstances that warranted my exit from the APC in the first place . I left the APC in 2014 owing to fundamental disagreements with the ways the chapter of the party in my state was run after it fell into some hands . Some colleagues and I tried hard to save the then APC administration from an orchestrated impeachment plot which was unfortunately carried out with active collaboration of some ranking APC members in the state .

However , events in the last 15 months have addressed many of the issues and healed some of the wounds. More so , with the genuine and sincere invitations I received since last year to retrace my steps into the party, I decided to return after consulting family and political associates at all levels . I would like to appreciate all those members of the party who privately and publicly prodded me to return to the party. My appreciation also goes to the leadership of our party , from my ward in Bako to the national leadership , for the enthusiasm they showed in having me back.

A statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande , quotes Osinbajo as saying this while receiving a delegation of Christian Ministers Welfare Initiative also known as the Pastors ’ Forum , Taraba State , at the Presidential Villa , Abuja yesterday. “ This morning, I had a meeting with the President and he repeated to me twice, he said ‘ at my age , there is only one thing I am looking for , I want to see a great Nigeria . ’ He has no other objective and I feel very inspired by that . It is madness for anybody in our position to be looking for money. According to him , God put people in a position of authority for them to be able to do something for their people. I think if any Nigerian gets the chance to be President of the country , there is nothing he / she is looking for anymor...

THE WILDFLOWER MOVIE REVIEW.

  Think of The Wait and how it made you feel. How it brought things you have ever seen, heard of or experienced right to you, that is exactly how you would feel with this movie.  This is a movie that is a must watch if you are a mother, an elder sister, if you are connected to a female one way or the other, this movie is for you. Trust Aunty Biodun Stephen to always give you real life and realistic themes and plots. Hence the plot of this movie is so close to home that I could remember some scenarios. But the movie was dragged at so many points. If you are looking for a movie that would kick you in the punch at once, this is not that movie. This is the movie that you have take your time to go through the prolonged actions and scenes, which was caused by some actors, who unfortunately were key players. Anyway, overall, I'd give it an 8/10. Plot is cool. Directing is cool. Delivery wasn't perfect for a lot to cast, even the top ones. Everyone was just at their relaxed mood, whic...
