Though the speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal denied attending any meeting with members of the All Progressive Union, DAILYTIMES has authoritatively gathered he was invited to be wooed for presidency in 2015.

Our correspondent authoritatively gathered that Tambuwal had been invited to the meeting but through one of the defecting governors.

A source at the meeting revealed that because he was not confident enough to attend the meeting, APC decided to communicate to him through his (Sokoto) state governor, Aliyu Wamakko.

Those who attended Monday’s meeting included two leaders of the APC: former Head of state and 2011 Presidential candidate of Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, Muhammadu Buhari, and former governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu. Others are Governors Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti; Babatunde Fashola of Lagos; Bola Ajimobi of Oyo, Musa Kwakwanso of Kano; Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers; Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun; Murtala Nyako of Adamawa and Aliyu Wamakko of Sokoto.

This is just in-line with a statement released by the spokesperson of the speaker, Imam Imam, which claimed that Tambuwal went to see the Sokoto governor.

“The speaker went to see his governor who sought to see him and he went there before the meeting commenced and it did not commence before he left the lodge,” he said.

In our investigation, it was gathered that APC governors have decided to find all means to flag Tambuwal as the party’s presidential candidate in 2015.

The source said, “This is a big drama in the political of this country. Whether they want it or not, we have massively suggested that Tambuwal is the best person for our presidential candidate and we will ensure it happens by all means. We brought him to a venue where we are all present so that he would know that we are serious.

“We have invited him for a meeting and sent his state governor to him.

So, he is aware of our intention to get him into the party. He is a neutral person who still maintains high sense of integrity among Nigerians so if we use him, we can easily achieve our goal of bring the dividends of democracy to Nigerians.”

However, attempt to speak with Tambuwal proved abortive. A close source to the speaker told our correspondent that Tambuwal was aware of APC’s moves to have him with them.

He said, “Though the speaker is not also happy with what is happening in PDP, he has not declared his intention. But it is not impossible for him to join APC if he is offered to contest for president in 2015.”

However, it should be recalled that Tambuwal has recently attended some events organised by APC governors and members.
Part of which is the launching of ‘Opon Imo’ (Tablet of knowledge) in Osun State.

For the first time, Tambuwal, a PDP member, also sent one Femi Gbajabiamila, an APC member to represent him at a leadership summit organised for Ambasador Kolade.

Abu34: If APC like they can pick Tanbuwal and Buhari together as president then Fashola and Amaechi together as vice, GEJ will win them with a wide margin.

They should better start now to prepare for 2019. The earlier the better.

2015 is a done deal.

truthful ones"

You have to wonder why some people like you make completely illogical and senseless statements! Except retardeen GEJ rigs the election, there is no way he can win the 2015 election! It is the Arithmetic => DUM.BASS DUM DUM! Except rigging the elections, the election is APC's to lose if they mobilize all the votes in the North and South West (majority of the population already), and get the votes in states in the Middle Belt, win or get significant votes in the SS and the SE can go anywhere they like with their minority votes. That is it! The SE will vote only on sentiments, so most parties and aspirants can only do a best-effort campaign but in the areas where the APC has strong support, they must do everything to mobilize all that support, get phone cameras into every hand and be sure to monitor the elections! GEJ can never have the sympathy votes he got in 2011 when he was deemed to have been treated unfairly by some of Yaradua's aide and people in government.

Abu34:

This is the same political arithmetic u APC e-rats did in Anambra that made Ngige to go and borrow N5 billion from Tinubu and failed woefully at the end.

U think election is done on nairaland. U will only make noise online after the election while GEJ continues with his transformation agenda till 2019.

GEJ remains the best Nigerian leader since our independence.

musiwa112: who is Tambuwal, i dont know him.

Sloan:

You and who did political arithmetic? Show me where I did any arithmetic or shut up if you can't! Anambra is NOT and can never be representative of Nigeria! That Ananmbra people made a certain choice is their decision but that does not mean their votes will be decisive in a presidential election. Otherwise, why did Ojukwu fail to even get 3% of the votes from all over the country when he contested for president? Except GEJ finds a way to rig the elections and is allowed to get away with it, there's no way he will EVER win another election inNigeria. Today, the governor and all (or most) LGs in Rivers State are in APC or leaning APC, you think they will work to give your retardeen a victory at the polls? Rivers is perhaps the most populated state in the SS. If APC gets a win in Rivers, Kano and Lagos, while clearing the entire north, west, parts of the middle belt (Kwara, etc) GEJ can never win or where will he find the numbers? Note that I have not even added SE to this equation as every Nigerian knows that the SE is the most unreliable of all parts of Nigeria in which elections is for the highest bidder and the most tribalistic. I hope you now have your Second Niger bridge, stoopid people!
