Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) standard bearer Mallam Nuhu Ribadu and a chieftain of the party, Chief Audu Ogbeh, yesterday served leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with a notice of retirement.
They said the ACN’s symbol- the broom, would sweep out PDP leaders in next month’s general elections.
Ribadu and Ogbeh spoke at the party’s presidential campaign rally, at the Trade Fair Complex, Jalingo, the Taraba State capital.
“The truth has come; the change has come; to sweep out the non-performing government”, Ribadu said, after presenting flag to the party’s governorship candidate Senator Danlami Ikenya.
Ogbeh said: “It is time to retire some leaders, for others to come in. It is time to retire Governor Danbaba Suntai for Senator Ikenya to take charge.
“When ACN retires Suntai (at the elections), we shall pay him his retirement benefits so that there will be no crisis.”
He described Taraba as one of the most naturally endowed states, noting that the ACN government would transform the state by harnessing its potential in agriculture, tourism and solid minerals.
Ikenya said the party had identified the people’s sufferings and thus, was on a mission to rescue the masses from the clutches of bad governance. He said that there won’t be hope if the PDP government was allowed to continue.
Former Governor Rev. Jolly Nyame said: “A vote for Ribadu and Ikenya is a vote for Noah’s Ark, which when you enter, would save the state and the country.”
Director of Campaign Danladi Baido accused the Suntai administration of collecting over N280 billion from the Federation Account without completing any project in the last four years.
Senator Usman Danboyi advised supporters to protect their votes to prevent rigging by the PDP. “The ACN will form the government next month”, he said.
