The governorship candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) in Adamawa state, north eastern Nigeria, retired Brig.-Gen. Buba Marwa, disclosed today that he has been under pressure from powerful individuals to return to PDP.

Marwa told newsmen at CPC Secretariat in Yola that pressure was both from within and outside the state.

“I have been under tremendous pressure indeed, both from outside the state and from within the machinery of the PDP in the state,” Marwa said.

Marwa, who was reacting to speculation that he had joined the PDP, said he was still in CPC.

“I have not returned to the PDP. This statement is categorical and very important to lay to rest the rumours that has been flying about in the country.”
