The probability of the former EFCC chairman, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu who decamped to People’s Democratic Party to clinch the party gubernatorial ticket appears to be very low following the failure of the PDP’s National Working Committee, NWC, to discuss a waiver for him.

Apart from Ribadu who decamped to the People’s Democratic Party this week, other new comers who are likely to be affected if  waivers are not considered include former military governor of Lagos State, Brig-Gen. Buba Marwa (rtd); and Marcus Gundiri, who recently returned to the party.

Multiple sources at the meeting of the NWC told Vanguard last night that the issue of a waiver was not discussed at the meeting.

Prior to yesterday’s meeting of the NWC, hopes were high for Ribadu, who had collected his Expression of Interest and nomination forms that the issue would be discussed having applied for a waiver.
