This was confirmed when a political associate, Alhaji Hamidu Mahmud, picked up the Expression of Interest and Nomination Form on Ribadu’s behalf.
Mahmud said:
“Yes, we have applied. The framers of the PDP Constitution didn’t insert a waiver clause in anticipation of Ribadu.“ He is expected to enjoy it and we are awaiting the directive of the PDP’s National Working Committee (NWC).”
