Tambuwal Set To Dump PDP For APC by nanss: 10:00am On Oct 12, 2014
Barring any last minute change, the nationwide “consultations”
undertaken by the Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Honourable Aminu Tambuwal, to decide his next political direction
may finally be revealed, as impeccable sources close to the speaker
said he may defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the
All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday when the House resumes
plenary.
Tambuwal had declared months back, when speculation became rife
that he was gunning for either the governorship of his state or the
presidency under the APC, that, “I am still consulting my primary
constituency on these crucial matters which affect me, Sokoto State
and Nigeria generally. I will come back and engage my people. All
politics is local and I will make my final stand on these topical issues
known to Nigerians at the most appropriate time”.
However, the need for him to now make his political plan known is
largely influenced by the fact that the APC’s timetable for it
presidential primaries has been fixed for December 2, leading to the
February 14 general elections. His defection this week is to give him
enough time to declare, pick his form, and mobilise his structure.
According to the APC timetable (which might be modified), the
expression of interest forms for all offices will go on sale from
October 6. Those interested in seeking the party’s nomination to
stand in the presidential, governorship, senatorial, House of
Representatives and Houses of Assembly elections are expected to
pick their forms between October 6 and 19.
The sale of nomination forms to presidential aspirants will commence
on October 20 and end on November 6, while screening of
presidential aspirants is slated to take place between November 10
and 13, and November 14 and 15 will be for appeals. The party’s
national convention, where the presidential candidate will be picked,
holds on December 2.
The sale of nomination forms to those interested in the governorship
race is to take place between October 20 and November 9.
Screening of aspirants will hold as from November 10 to 12, while
appeals are slated to take place between November 13 and 14. The
governorship primaries are slated for November 15, while appeals
emanating from the primaries will be entertained from November 18
to 22.
The speaker’s defection this week is said to have the full backing of
key members of both the House and Senate who embraced the APC
when seven PDP governors staged a walkout in August during a
special convention of the PDP and five subsequently defected to the
APC.
This was because his emergence as speakers was greatly aided by
those members of the House who were not comfortable with the
dominating influence the PDP was exerting in the House.
His expected defection is also said to have the full backing of his
governor, Aliyu Wamakko, who was one of the five governors that
defected to the APC. The fact that the speaker maintained a
robust relationship with his governor lent credence to the rosy
relationship between them, this culminated in him being turbaned as
the Mutawallen Sokoto.
Only recently, posters of the speaker have flooded some parts of
Abuja and some few northern states, declaring his intention to bid
for the presidency. But his media aide, Mallam Imam Imam, had
denied the rumoured bid, saying, “Let it be known that since the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has not given the
go-ahead for those interested in elective positions to start
mobilisation, it is inappropriate for any person or group to print
campaign posters and have them placed in strategic locations in any
part of the country.”
Apart from former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who is alleged to
be solidly behind the presidential aspiration of the speaker, some
governors under the APC banner are said to have given him their
words to rally behind him.
But LEADERSHIP Sunday learned that even though the PDP
currently enjoys a slim majority in the House, the speaker may still
not be able to hold onto his position when he eventually defects.
This, according to LEADERSHIP Sunday’s investigations, is because
some of the members in the House, who are said to have concluded
plans to defect with him, might not do it because of the proximity
of the time for election.
When LEADERSHIP Sunday sought the opinion of the special adviser
on media to the speaker, he said, “We have consistently said that
the speaker is still consulting on what his political move would be,
and that whenever that consultation is concluded, Nigerians will
know. I really can’t say what he will do on Tuesday; only that
Nigerians will know anytime he has finished his consultations.”
