2015: Tambuwal In Secret Meetings With Northern Elders

As the 2015 political activities take the centre stage all over the country, there are strong indications that the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, may dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the opposition party, the All Progressive Congress (APC), following the pressure being mounted on him by the opposition to pitch his tent with them.

Analysts said for some time now, the body language of the number four citizen has not only suggested that he may dumb PDP for APC to build a virile, strong, united, and prosperous party.

Investigations also revealed that barring any last minutes change of plans, Tambuwal will contest the 2015 Presidential elections under the banner of APC.

According to sources close to Sunday Independent , the Speaker has been secretly meeting with top politicians from the North and has set up the Tambuwal Presidential Project, (TPP), whose membership, it was gathered, is drawn from top politicians in the North, members of the National Assembly, as well as APC chieftains, who are not disposed to General Mohammadu Buhari’s presidential ambition.

Tambuwal, regarded as the “new entrant into the political scene in the Northern politics”, is seen as the most acceptable among Northern politicians, who desperately yearn for power to return to the North in 2015.

Tambuwal’s choice as a presidential material, according to inside sources, is to represent the loud call for the return of power to the North in 2015.

Sunday Independent learnt authoritatively that those in the North who are following the emerging politics, are of the opinion that Tambuwal, coming from Sokoto State, a key North Western state of the country, would be in better position to slug it out with President Goodluck Jonathan in the event that the President emerged the PDP presidential candidate.

Already, top echelons of APC, who are not particularly comfortable with Buhari running for the Presidency on the party’s platform, are currently said to be holding clandestine meetings to convince the Speaker to join the party and contest the Presidential ticket of the party.

It would be recalled that Governor Aliyu Wammako of Sokoto State recently decamped to APC.

However, Tambuwal cannot leave the PDP now, as he would forfeit his seat in the National Assembly under the new electoral law.

Although, he has not acceded to the APC’s overtures yet, his close associates said his body language is encouraging, but that as a politician, he has to calculate well before deciding on what to do.

Some APC chieftains are also said to have started to mount pressure on Buhari, urging him to drop any idea of contesting the 2015 presidential election.

An APC member of the House of Representatives, who pleaded anonymity, said majority of the members are in support of Tambuwal’s presidential ambition and are already working round the clock to sell the idea to other Nigerians

“We have gone far with the Tambuwal Presidential Project (TPP); we have reached virtually all nooks and cranny of this country to seek support of major stakeholders within and outside the APC.

“We are very comfortable with the response we have received so far. Nigeria and Nigerians would get a better deal if and when we translate the TPP into reality In-Sha Allah”.

“Nigerians must also recall that the emergence of Tambuwal as Speaker was not the making of PDP. Rather, we, the now APC, made it happen and ever since, the Speaker is carrying everybody along, irrespective of ethnicity, tribe or religion, some rare quality of a good leader must possess”, the federal lawmaker, who hails from the North, revealed.

“Tambuwal, as a choice, will attract many more legislators in the Lower House beyond the ruling party’s imagination. He is a rallying point, whose politics cuts across parties and tribes”, the source declared.

In his reaction, Rotimi Makinde, representing Ife Federal Federal Constituency and Deputy Chairman, House Committee on Human Rights, said the Speaker is rated as an asset to the nation and a presidential material to the core, if only the APC leadership will be magnanimous enough to accommodate him as the party’s presidential standard bearer. According Makinde, “I have no doubt that the change we all clamour for at the centre would come to fruition.

“Tambuwal’s leadership in the House has the uncovering of corruption and rot in different sectors of our national life.

“No other leader of the House in the history of Nigeria has ever taken such courageous steps to expose the cankerworms of corruption plaguing our nation”, Makinde declared.

“The choice of Aminu Tambuwal will turn the fortunes of our party around for good. He is well educated, an astute and erudite lawyer, very eloquent and charismatic. I wish him best of luck in his political journey, APC can’t wait to have him as one of us”.

Some APC notable leaders such as Buhari and former Lagos governor, Bola Tinubu, among others, had described Tambuwal as a son to be respected and reverred as leader in APC.

When contacted on phone, a constitutional lawyer and chieftain of PDP, Sani Noah, said that Tambuwal has being a PDP member in principle, adding that from his body language, the society would have known that the Speaker has been in opposition.

*in Lil Jon's voice* Whaaat! Okaay!

His defection time iڪ still too early if you ask me. Perfect time may be october. The only issue I have iڪ with Buhari. Once Buhari accents, they should begin to look for a credible VP. Fashola iڪ good, but religion won't qualify him. For me, I don't fully support Amaechi's VP candidature. APC still needs a credible southern christian for that job

All these just for power to return to North abi. Ok we are watching but remember that he who prepares medical concotion for a mad man without ist considering whether he will accept to drink it or not is a bigger mad man himself. All these mischiefs are done without putting the electorates into consideration. I'm sure North doesn't enjoy the monopoly of electorates as they enjoy that of violence now though it won't last long

He's crossing over to become a progressive. Political masturbation and sucide.

“We have gone far with the Tambuwal Presidential Project (TPP); we have reached virtually all nooks and cranny of this country to seek support of major stakeholders within and outside the APC.


Where and where have they gone? Politicians and lie.....

@Topic: Tambawal hahahahaha, he's a political lightweight in the scheme of things.

Tambuwal is welcome to the race. But he and other aspirants must pull resources together for a bigger, better, stronger, and wining APC.

let's hope for good things

Out of the 3 options available for Tambuwal, he prefers none but to decamp and commit a political suicide.

He have options of

Contesting again as house of representative member

Contesting for senate

Contesting for governor of sokoto state

He's not satisfied with any of the above options, he prefers to contest as a president under APC because he's a credible candidate and power must return to North abi?

Okay oooooooooo

We are watching the movie in 3D

Fawar is not going anywhere until 2019.

Jonathan Till 2019.

Last Bullet........I hope it's rumour sha cos Jonathan must rule till 2019.

Konmight Say So.

supporter of APC.dreaming since 1914.

Tambuwal the ten-faced politician again! God will never allow that additional evil (Tambuwal) befall us in Nigeria. As we speak, Tambuwal is also busy strategizing on how to get PDP Governorship ticket in Sokoto!

I pray he geta the APC presidential ticket ahead of Buhari and Atiku...

Easy win for GEJ be that na...

Ganjaweeeee

It is J.an,jawee.ds dreaming since 1914.[/size]

You see, it CANNOT BE MODIFIED. Beat the J.anja.weeds to it!

The headline should be; Tambuwal in secret meeting with boko haram leaders and supporters.
No Goodluck no Niger delta oil and no Nijeria

This clown is obviously believing his own hype. Who sabi the mumu? The average voter in Nigeria does not know who the hell he is. From Makurdi to Abakaliki; from Okitipupa to Ogoja, the apathetic reaction to his candidacy will be:Tambuwhaaaat?

Let him defect to the APC. . .and consequently lose his speakership. . . only then will the reality of his ordinariness and political insignificance dawn on him.

@ validated.thanks.nairaland has sold their soul to ja.njaweed.

Tambuwal is more connected to grassroot politician more than jona, he has been member of house of representave for a long time, This has giving him the oppurtunity of having more friends in the 360 federal constituency of nigeria. Talking about lightweight in politics, tambuwal is more sagacity in politics than jona, who is jona b4 becoming president in nigeria politics? Tambuwal is more courageous and articulate. Tambuwal is loved by most who come across him, he has more friends across nigeria who are ready to help him. Northerns will support him with their vote

I don't care about Jonathan's aspiration. As an APC fan it's Kwankwaso ALL the Way or General Buhari. in fact anyone of APC aspirants including Bukola Saraki, Rochas or Amaechi(If they win the ticket) but NO to a camouflaged Tambawal. Legislators are overrated, they don't possess political clout. Even Senator David Mark will LOSE woefully if he is to slug it out with someone like Okorocha for the Presidency. Legislators are only Newspaper Giants. Incumbent SPeaker Dimeji Bankole lost his reelection bid to a Newbie in 2011, Aminu Bello Mansari as an Incumbent Speaker lost his political relevance in 2007, Patricia Etteh is nowhere to be found. Tambawal's best bet will be trying for the Senate or Governor-that is Sokoto Affair.

as for this... This has giving him the oppurtunity of having more friends in the 360 federal constituency of nigeria

Man, legislators are overrated. It is on record that 70% of them lose their seat in every election. Go figure

No doubt about the 70percent lose in our legislative, but not Tambuwal in any case. Beside what am saying is that this is northern agenda we will rather vote for Danbaba suntai of taraba state than jona, major gen. Buhari may not contest if people like Tambuwal or kwankwoso prevail on him to step down for them. He will surely anoint any one of them who decide to run for presidency and lead their campaign through out the north for them, but tambuwal has good friends in the south morethan any of the aside from Atiku, which is an advantage for Tambuwal. Tambuwal is another obama in making from sokoto caliphate, watch out!

Tambawal should relax, he's a double faced politician who is neither here nor there. I will Support Kwankwaso (My 1st Choice) or GMB(I want him to RUN if he decides to).

You really mean fulani agenda.
The day you guys back a non-fulani would be the day satan will become a moslim.

Janjaweedz trying by all means to return power back to the North but they are just wasting their time because they won't smell not to talk of tasting power for a very long time.
