Trouble is brewing in the Adamawa state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2019 general elections as a chieftain of the party, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu has vowed never to campaign for the state governor.

Ribadu, a former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), was recently appointed as the director, fields operations in the Buhari campaign council.

Ribadu had pulled put of the Adamawa governorship race under the APC last year, accusing the governor of manipulating the mode of the party's primary elections.

Reacting to Ribadu's stance, the Adamawa state APC, through its publicity secretary, Mohammed Abdullahi, warned Ribadu to desist from his planned sabotage of the party's governorship candidate.

“If need be, the APC will take disciplinary action against any erring party member, however highly placed,” Abdullahi warned.

According to Sahara Reporters, Abdullahi accused Ribadu of attempting to run a parallel campaign, which the party will not condone.

Adamawa APC executives also threatened to deal decisively with any party stakeholder who campaigns for Buhari without supporting all other APC candidates in the state, especially Governor Bindow.

The party EXCO said it expects all hands to be on deck given that it will soon commence its statewide campaign.

This latest move has further polarized the state chapter of the APC in Adamawa where supporters of those for or against the governor are already at daggers drawn and set for a battle which, if not quelled, will dim the party's chances in the 2019 elections.
