Nigeria needs a strong opposition party to unseat PDP in 2015 – Ribadu

The presidential candidate of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, in the 2011 polls and former Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, has called for a credible opposition to the ruling Peoples Democractic Party, PDP, in 2015.

He spoke at the weekend in Kaduna during the 7th annual Ramadan lectures organised by the Nigeria Television Authority, NTA, and Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, FRCN.

Ribadu, who is the Chairman, Presidential Task Force Committee on Petroleum, noted that the nation was in dire need of a credible alternative to the PDP.

He said the ongoing merger talks among opposition political parties would be the only option for Nigerians to confront the PDP.

His words: “I am 100 per cent in support of the merger move by the opposition political parties in Nigeria. I believe that there is the need for all the political parties in Nigeria to come together particularly those who are in the opposition.

“Nigeria is in dire need of a credible alternative to PDP. If the parties come together, chances are that they would be able to have a formidable party that will confront PDP and until that is done, hopefully, it will bring relief to Nigerians.”
