Tambuwal’s Comment Unsettles Presidency by yarnings: 10:52pm On Aug 20, 2014

Tambuwal’s comment
unsettles Presidency
House Speaker Aminu Tambuwal’s political hazy
future has unsettled the Presidency and the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP).
There were fears yesterday in the PDP that Tambuwal
is likely to defect to the All Progressives Congress
(APC).
It was also learnt that the ruling party has not
foreclosed “plans” to sack Tambuwal if he switches
over to APC, after making a “code statement”.
The PDP has used the ongoing vacation of the
National Assembly to woo Senators and members of
the House of Representatives to secure a comfortable
majority in the two chambers.
But it was learnt last night that Tambuwal has kept
his game plan to his chest. His decision on 2015 may
come be in the last minute.
There are rumours that he may either vie for a
presidential ticket or return to Sokoto State for the
governorship poll.
Investigation by our correspondent revealed that the
Speaker created unease in the Presidency and PDP
when he declared that “Nigeria deserves good
leadership in 2015”.
Also, when responding to a question on whether he
would defect to APC or not, he simply said: “Kowa ni
tsuntsu kukan gidan su yake yi”, which means “birds
of a feather flock together”.
Some Presidency and PDP chiefs, it was said
yesterday, regard Tambuwal’s comments as
“disloyal, lack of faith in the ruling party and a tacit
opposition to the re-election bid of President
Goodluck Jonathan”.
A highly-placed source said: “The comments of the
Speaker have caused some disquiet in the
government and at the party level.
“Some forces in the Presidency and PDP considered
Tambuwal’s comments as “anti-party” and lack of
support for Jonathan’s re-election bid.
“They are also claiming that the Speaker has
confirmed the suspicion that he has always had
sympathy for the opposition.
“These forces believe it would be a slight on the
ruling party for the number four to defect to APC.”
Asked of the next line of action, the source said: “I
think the PDP may not allow Tambuwal to beat it to
the game. Once he moves to APC, he may need to
vacate the office. This is why the party is already
consolidating its hold on the National Assembly.”
The PDP is wooing more lawmakers in the National
Assembly, especially members of the House of
Representatives.
The party is determined to have “a comfortable
majority” in the House of Representatives to take
charge.
“PDP has realised that it is a bit legally difficult to
sack some of its members who defected to APC from
the National Assembly. The process will have to go
from the lower court to the Supreme Court.
“The alternative is to ‘hijack’ the National Assembly,
especially the House, and dictate its pace.”
A source in Tambuwal’s camp said: “We know the
Presidency and the PDP have been uncomfortable
since the Speaker delivered his coded message.
“Their attack dogs have been abusing us in some
online media since Sunday. But they have forgotten
that democracy is about people and what they want
at any particular time.
“At the appropriate time, the Speaker will make his
plans for 2015 known to his constituents and
associates.”
Pressed to know the office the Speaker might seek in
2015, the source added: “Tambuwal has kept his
joker to himself. Not even his confidants can say his
mindset.
“He has some options which I think he won’t disclose
until the last minutes to the primaries for 2015 poll.
At best, you can say he is consulting.”. thenationonlineng.net/new/tambuwals-comment-unsettles-presidency/

The Nations is simply being silly. Nobody in PDP considers Tambuwal a member. With all due respect, he left the party last year August. We know come Feb 2015, you never hear his name associated with PDP ever again. The rightful person from Oyo state will become speaker from the PDP. cheesy

. DREAMLAND THING,if the next speaker will come from southwest then it will have to com EkITI STATE which is likely to deliver more federal honorable to PDP,mind you the only reason why oyo state almost produced the speaker in 2011 was because it was only oyo state that had a federal honorable from PDP in 2011.which is not likely to repeat in 2015 quote me.

We already have a majority leader from Oyo state and God willing she is the speaker in-waiting. Ekiti will not produce members with the seniority needed to campaign for a leadership role in the house. Thinking PDP will lose any of its current seats in Oyo stste is too amateurish. PDP is more stronger in Oyo state than Ekiti.

Feb 2015 is about 7 months away. All our questions will be answered. Expect at least 2 PDP senators from Oyo and at least 6 house members.

Tambuwal has a bleak political future,that's why he has been runing from pillar to post,meeting the likes of obasanjo who possibly can beg on his behalf for a senatorial or gubernatorial ticket in pdp,he feels he is intelligent but sure don't have wisdom.I really wonder why speakers of the house of rep always make similar senseless mistakes,non wants to learn from precedence

Tambuwal will get nothing from pdp.
PDP has Ribadu just where they want him.
In the palms of their hand.
And with him they tar all of APC as opportunists, who like Tinubu, have a price, like cheap prostitutes.

Tambuwal's political career is beautiful as it stands irregardless of which party he decides on joining . He just needs to manage it well.

priscaoge: Is PDP and APC only the political parties in Nigeria

They are the best contenders for now.

While staying in PDP, the next contenders after waiting out Presisent Jonathan's tenure would be Ribadu, V.P Sambo and Tambuwal.

In APC since there is former V.P Atiku, Gov. Kwansakwo(sic) at the moment he would not stand a chance for the presidency until those two lose their ambition steam which is not guaranteed for the next 8 years. If APC had fielded a Tambuwal-Fashola awareness since, they would have stood a better chance than the PDP by now (muslim-muslim ticket would not be an issue with those two unlike the Buhari-Tinubu ticket who are perceived as extremists).

He however would do well to go for a governorship under any party and build credibility like Gov. Fashola and his presidential stance would be brighter. He would be be the continuance of the president Nigeria never had - Yaradua.

But a speaker would have emerged in place of Tambuwal the moment he decamps b4 the next general election i.e. b4 February 2015. Mind u the national assembly members would still hold on to their various positions until June 2015, hence the emergence of a new speaker among the current Federal House of Reps.
