Ribadu is most acceptable presidential candidate

The campaign organisation of the Action Congress of Nigeria presidential candidate, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, has described him as the ‘most internationally acceptable candidate.’

The group, Ribadu Campaign Organisation, in a statement on Sunday in Abuja, said it was reacting to a statement credited to a former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Chief Richard Akinjide.

According to the group, Akinjide was quoted in a national newspaper (not THE PUNCH) as saying that the ACN presidential candidate “should have gone to the House of Representatives or the Senate. He is not a material for a Vice-President. I won’t even make him a governor.”

The group said Akinjide was entitled to his opinion and choice of candidate.

“For Mr. Akinjide to say that he can’t make a holder of a Masters of Law degree, a public prosecutor of many years experience, a man who has attended some of the most prestigious institutions in the world (a candidate) tells a lot about the Ibadan politician.
