Speaker of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal, has joined the race
to become the President of the country in 2015 on the platform of the All
Progressives Congress, which he defected to two weeks ago.
Media aides of the Speaker, who joined the APC from the Peoples Democratic Party,
confirmed that “friends and associates” bought the presidential nomination form of
the party for Tambuwal, who became the Speaker of the House in 2011.
Tambuwal’s Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Imam Imam, told our correspondent on the
telephone on Thursday, “Earlier today, some friends and associates of the Speaker
notified him that they have bought presidential nomination forms for him.”
Our correspondent learnt that members of the APC in the House opted to pay for
the nomination form for the Speaker to contest the 2015 presidential poll.
The PUNCH gathered on Thursday that the members reportedly reached out to one
another soon after it turned out that Tambuwal showed interest in the presidential
race early this week.
Attempts by the APC to pick a presidential candidate by consensus appeared to have
failed after talks between the stakeholders reportedly collapsed by Wednesday.
The contest was initially between former Head of State, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari (retd.); former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and Kano State Governor,
Rabiu Kwankwaso.
But, The PUNCH learnt that the entry of Tambuwal into the race had further
compounded the situation in the APC.
Investigations showed that the lawmakers had reasoned that Tambuwal was a “poor
speaker”, who would not be able to afford the N27m the APC fixed as the cost of
the form.

"If I’m voted into power, within the next four
years, the issue of power will become a thing of
the past. Four years is enough for anyone in
power to make a significant improvement and if
I can’t improve on power within this period, it
then means I cannot do anything”

Someone indoctrinate/lecture this dude pls.
Would have preferred he test his chances at the governorship polls. He'll have a greater shot at the presidency at expiration of GEJs second tenure.
