Former President Olusegun Obasanjo
appears to have given his nod to the
rumoured presidential ambition of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, ahead of the 2015 election.

Tambuwal is believed to be nursing a yet-to-be -declared presidential ambition, which could see him challenge President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.

The Speaker had flagged off consultations in recent months and had met leaders, including Obasanjo, and former military president, General Ibrahim Babangida.

Sources told the Our Source that
when Tambuwal visited Obasanjo at his Abeokuta Hilltop mansion recently, the former President was unequivocal in his support for the Speaker.

The former President was quoted as
saying "Tambuwal, go ahead and contest the presidency in 2015. I am behind you."

Though the Speaker's spokesman,
Mallam Imam Imam, has insisted that the Speaker is still consulting over his
ambition come 2015, the Speaker's
body language appears to be tilting
towards presidential contest on the
platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

It was also confirmed that the Speaker had recently consulted Babangida and former Head of State, General Abdusalami Abubakar, on the way forward in 2015.

Sources however confirmed that only
Obasanjo gave an express permit to
Tambuwal, while the two other leaders were cautious and prayerful.
Reports had indicated recently that
Tambuwal was set to declare for the 2015 election on the platform of the APC.

According to the calculations, Tambuwal is expected to benefit from the goodwill of former Lagos State governor, Senator Bola Tinubu, who is expected to hand over SouthWest voters to Tambuwal at the presidential primaries.

It is believed that the likes of General
Muhammadu Buhari, former Vice
President Atiku Abubakar as well as Kano state governor, Rabiu Musa Kwakwanso, would share the votes coming from the Northern states, and bloc votes coming to Tambuwal from the South-West would make him the man to beat at the primaries.

The Speaker, a member of the Peoples
Democratic Party(PDP), is however yet to announce his defection to the opposition APC.

I have always known that Tambuwal has an agenda. He is playing a script.....he has always been critical of his paymasters. Unfortunately, it might not play out as his emergence as the speaker. He stands no chance to contest on the platform of PDP. The only option is to defect to APC.....and I am afraid he might not do that because of the lessons he learnt from his brother- RIBADU

Expecting OBJ to back me for the Presidency very soon, after all that is what he knows how to do best these days

At least for the first time in GEJ's life he will need to sweat a little before he can man aso rock again. GEJ its been too easy for you for soooo long!

OP you mean Thief Olusegun Obasanjo

How them wan take beat Jona wey don alredy hold ground na im i don knw...some risk re not worth taken at all. Nau him nd Tambuwal go just waste Energy, money nd time buh still dem no go win

Lol! any plan of springing up a suprise has been preempted by the "cluelesssly" smart Jonathan.
As it stand now, Tambuwal is finished politically.
He is now akin to a bat, neither a bird or an animal. He has no future in PDP and will be disappointed in APC.

The source makes it difficult for one to really contribute.

Its Tambuwal's right to contest, hope he wins their nomination.

Dis is my prediction for 2015 general election

PDP=110,546,284.
APGA=20,000,00
APC=18,562,001
others party=10,000,000

so where is tanbuwal or buhari or fashola.

Gej shall lead Nigeria again till 2019...we shall celebrate it cum march1st 2015

Tanbuwal is on his way to political oblivion, mark my words. He's been used by Tinubu to undermine PDP in the s/west by selling off our own (Mulikat) to a Aboki, and it's now time to send him back to Sokoto. Do i even say he's still naive to be counting on OBJ's support for Presidency?, a man who can not even win LG chairmanship in Abeokuta South in a free and fair election, let alone woo the s/west for Tambuwal. Tambuwal ko, Tambourine ni.

pelvicky: Dis is my prediction for 2015 general election

PDP=110,546,284.

Yes of cos. To the best of my knowledge the last time GEJ 'sweated' was the day he last trekked bare footed to Otuoke development community high school

On a more serious note for me the president of nigeria come 2015 will be made known this year during PDP's primaries. Even APC e-pests know that very fact deep down in their hearts!

Imagine GEJ (as clueless as he is) vs Buhari (the cold hearted bigotic tyrant) smh for naija

pelvicky: our population is above 170,000,000....add the above result and subtract it.

You're still stupid bro.

Birds of the same feather perch 2geda. His ambition is already dead on arrival as long as Buhari n Atiku r still in contention 4 dis same post.

WOT IS WRONG WITH TAMBUWAL BEING A VICE PRESIDENT UNDER GEJ?

obongproff: WOT IS WRONG WITH TAMBUWAL BEING A VICE PRESIDENT UNDER GEJ?

eerrmm, becos GEJ already has a vice president?

Obasanjo is a drowning man hence the desperation to clutch any available straw. First, it was Lamido and Amaechi. Unfortunately for him THE CLUELESS ONE was too smart to a fault.
