Ribadu disagrees with ACN
Former Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and candidate of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in the 2011 presidential election, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, Thursday disagreed with his party over the imposition of a state of emergency in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States by President Goodluck Jonathan.
Ribadu told journalists in Abuja during a national consultative forum on the role of religious and traditional rulers in building peace, organised by the Global Peace Foundation (GPF), that Jonathan’s action was an initiative in the right direction.
The ACN had described the declaration of a state of emergency in the northern states as an exercise in futility and urged the National Assembly to reject it.
However, Ribadu said the initiative was good, adding that since the federal government has the responsibility to ensure peace and security in the country, it was free to take any step that would restore law and order in the country.
