A twist of political events in Adamawa State. Nuhu Ribadu may not have looked into his crystal balls understandably, if he did he wouldnt have left the opposition for the PDP. With the level of turn around Nigerians are expecting the Buhari Government to introduce, Nuhu Ribadu is a sound material/agent for the turn around in the new Government. Poor Nuhu, his former colleagues may not accept him back readily.
