ACN Presidential candidate, Nuhu Ribadu
By Daniel Fayemi
Ribadu through a press release from Yola, Adamawa State today (Saturday) said the suggestions were nothing but ‘wicked falsehood, and a piece of mindless propaganda.’
He said, “My attention has been drawn to the claim, which started first as an April Fool joke yesterday, and is now made viral by opposition CPC members, that I have stepped down for General Muhammadu Buhari in what is termed a consensus arrangement.
“First, I must clarify for my teeming supporters, our ever progressive ACN party members, and the millions of young people of this country who have trained their sights toward, and have sacrificed so much for a better Nigeria, that this is wicked falsehood, and a piece of mindless propaganda.
“I have not and could never betray the confidence of Nigerians by trading my candidacy for any other person. So this claim remains a lie and a poor attempt to manipulate the electorates to seek cheap victory.”
“Secondly, I want to stress the point that this cheap scheme is deliberately calculated to abort our democratic march through manipulation, and through the hijack of our right to electoral choice, a central value of a true democracy.
“To all the architects of this devilish scheme therefore, I have a simple message: that their electoral manipulation only goes to feed into the machinations of the same forces of misrule and darkness that have kept our nation down for the past two decades.
“If it is not clear to them that they are in bed with the PDP, Nigerians are finally getting to know now whose interest they are working to advance.”
