2019: You’ve failed, Ribadau tells Bindow

Former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and APC gubernatorial aspirant in Adamawa state, Mallam Nuhu Ribadau, has carpeted Governor Bindow Jibrilla’s administration describing it as a failure.
Ribadau stated this yesterday in his Yola residence while receiving some stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) under the auspices of Black Cap Revolutionary Movement (BCRM) mostly made up of Nyako and Buhari supporters.
They pleaded with him to formalise his intention to vie for the governorship ticket of the APC and contest the gubernatorial race in 2019.
Addressing the supporters, Ribadu explained that Bindow’s administration has collected huge sums of money in the last 3 years but without any tangible thing to show for it.
“Adamawa government has got about N300 billion from 2015 to date.
The government also received bailout and Paris Club funds but there is nothing to show for it.
There is still lingering problems of workers’ salaries while, the much talked about road constructions are substandard”, he alleged.
Ribadau thanked them for the confidence reposed on his ability to move Adamawa forward, even as he re-iterated his commitments to good governance in the state assuring that he would soon make his decision public.
Earlier, Spokesman for the group, who is also the APC factional chairman in Yola South, Alhaji Gambo Amada, urged Ribadau to respond the clarion call of the people of the state to come forward and salvage the state from visionless leadership of the governor.
He described Bindow’s administration as a disaster never experienced in the history of the state, adding that Bindow’s emergence as APC candidate in 2019 would lead to the defeat of the party in the state.
According to him, what the party needed at this time is a man of honour, competency, whose track record and wealth of experience would turn around the state.
He identified Ribadau as possessing needed qualities that would take the state to safe the party from dismal economic performance of the present administration.
