Ribadu: it’s time for change

Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) presidential candidate Mallam Nuhu Ribadu yesterday preached the gospel of change. He urged the electorate to vote out the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the April polls.

“It is time for change because it is a ‘season of change’,” he said.

Noting the wind of change blowing across Tunisia, Egypt, Algeria and Yemen, Ribadu said: “While the citizens of other countries are protesting dictatorship in their countries, in Nigeria let us act sensibly to take advantage of the fact that we have the opportunity to effect change every four years through the ballot”.

Ribadu, who was speaking at a colloquium to mark the launch of his party’s campaign in Abuja, also unveiled his agenda for the country, promising one million houses a year, if elected in April.
