The Executive Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Rabiu Kwankwaso has described the planned action of the former Chairman of the Economic and Finacial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Malam Nuhu Ribadu to dump the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as a big political mistake.
The governor disclosed this while addressing journalists in his office yesterday. He described Ribadu as a man of intergrity but warned that he will be the biggest loser should he go through with his plans.
Kwankwaso said “Ribadu is widely known as a man of integrity and I can remember that when he was the chairman of EFCC, he did his job very well. My advice to him is not to join the PDP because at the end, he will be the biggest loser.”
He reminded Ribadu that those in PDP were those he previously indicted for corruption when he was the chairman of EFCC, adding that they will end up haunting him after luring him to join them.
“Most of those in the PDP were indicted for corruption by him and now they want him to join them; I believe at the end, they will also begin to haunt him.
“If he joins their party, which I believe he cannot make that mistake, but if he joins them, that means all what we are talking about him is wrong. In my opinion it will be a big political mistake.”
Kwankwaso added: “In my own opinion, it will be better for him to remain in the All Progressive Congress (APC) because people see him as man of his word not someone who is going to be desperate for power.”
Commenting on the result of the National Conference, Kwankwaso said “Any constitution other than 1999 Constitution, I don’t think it will certainly help this country. We told our delegates to reject any new constitution apart from the 1999 Constitution.
“People should come together to rescue the country. I know some people are trying to amend the constitution for single term of six years. It is unfortunate for them to use their agents and smuggle it.”
Kwankwaso, though said the 1999 constitution can only help Nigeria, accused those he said are at the top of taking advantage and exploiting the weakness of the constitution against the Governor of Nasarawa State, Tanko Al-Makura.
Pointing out one of his complains in the constitution, Kwankwaso said it was bad for democracy for the state house of Assembly to have the power to impeach a state governor or speaker.
Kwankwaso confidently said that the people of the country who are hungry for a change would vote for APC in 2015.
