Fashola and Tambuwal

The Deputy Chairman of the House of Reps Committee on Finance, Yomi Ogunnusi, has said if the APC can present strong candidates for the Presidency in 2015, it will defeat President Goodluck Jonathan who is most likely set to seek re-election.

Hon. Ogunnusi, who represents Ifako/Ijaye Constituency, said the APC would do well at the poll next year if it presented the Speaker of the House of Reps, Aminu Tambuwal as its presidential candidate and the Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, as his running mate.

In fact, Tambuwal and Fashola is a winning ticket for millions of Nigerians.

He said, “This is my personal opinion. If we have Tambuwal as President and Fashola as Vice-President, Jonathan will be out immediately it is announced. I think that is what the youth want. If you want a change in this country, let them put Tambuwal and Fashola. Nigeria will change and in fact, the stock exchange will increase that same day it is announced. It will give people a relief.

“Because these are humane people, people who have a human heart. For the first time in Nigeria, a young man led the House of Representatives for four years without inhibition or conflict. And this young man knows the names of all the lawmakers up to their constituencies. And Fashola, all over the world has been rated as a performer and you can see the way he works.


Tambuwal, who is still a member of the Peoples Democratic Party is rumoured to be finalising plans to defect to the APC so as to be able to actualise his dream of becoming president in 2015.

The lawmaker said this during an interview with Punch on Thursday. Ogunnusi described Gov Fashola as a hardworking governor who was generally loved for his accomplishments and also described Tambuwal as a “humble leader.”

He added, “You can even see in him that he has dedicated most of his life to the survival of the state. If he (Fashola) agrees, Nigeria would benefit. Both of them are saleable products and they are patriotic. For former Governor Bola Tinubu, let him be the leader of the Yoruba like Obafemi Awolowo; and let Muhammadu Buhari be the northern leader.

That's just an opinion though. We await the APC to make their choice formal.

Na lie what impact does tambu has on ordinary people non nothing. Let him keep consulting.

I agree with you 100%, cos am not sure am going to vote for badluck jonathan.

Apc will not rule Nigeria. Period

Tambuwal is a nonentity as far as electoral politics is concerned. He has little recognition - and ZERO followership - outside his obscure constituency in Sokoto State. His potential candidature looks seemingly attractive only on the pages of newspapers.

As for Fashola, the man's anti-poor reputation and unbearable elitism is known to all and sundry. Only the pretentious middle-class/upper-class snobs in Lagos hold the man in high esteem for prioritising their interests and planting flowers in their neighbourhoods. Fortunately, these snobs are a negligible minority in terms of the general electorate, and even then, they usually feel 'too big' to bear the inconvenience of voting on election day. The only people who would vote are the long-suffering and oppressed masses - who have been targets of a class-based genocide under Fashola. They certainly would not vote for this man and any party he represents.

Ok ooo

Eye n lip servicing loud sounding,noise making empty barrel...his likes are champions in the game..

Haf hed

They'd surely get my vote, buh we knw hw it goes..........PDP wld still win the next general elections by 'do or die'. BTW, two lawyers to rule together? FEC meeting go be talk-talk be be dat

God help nija oh.

Fashola should be presidential candidate. I don't think APC have any other option.

as far as I am concern. tambuwal is not going for Presidential election ooo he's going for governorship election.Cos' d present governor is a APC governor so he's vying for governorship election in sokoto state and he will soon decamp to APC coming next month.

Fashola should make sure he collects Senate if APC don't give him Presidential ticket

He should not run as VP to any fool!

Of course both of them are sellable

why not Fashola/Tambuwal ticket.
is anything wrong with Fashola's candidature? why must he be v.president when he's better than the latter

That will be a political suicide.

Help ask them

Abi Tambuwal also had 12m votes from the last election?

Wrong concept. Nigerians remain sensitive to religion. This is not 1993 combination - these 2 are Muslims. It will not work. APC will force the majority of Christian Community to vote for non-performing PDP. Not that APC is any better, but it's a case of checking out the second Devil



[size=18pt]Wait !!![/size]


Why not the other way round, Fashola - President and Tambuwal - Vice President. At least we have seen Fashola run Lagos State. What has Tambuwal accomplished? Does he deserve to become president merely by presiding over a House of Representatives that is reknowned for corruption and collecting jumbo salaries that they don't deserve?

dazangel11: Apc will not rule Nigeria. Period

You mean you're seeing your "period"

Fashola should go to Senate and be the opposition leader from the Senate and help bring modern opposition to Nigeria.

Just as Hillary, Obama and John McCain he can make his voice heard from the Senate and Prepare a 2019 Presidential run from there!

APC is not ready to defeat Jonathan in 2015

Fashola should not waste his time

What da ffvck! I prefer BUHARI/FASHOLA;>

I agree with u but I feel APC had d chance 2 win d hearts of nigerians coz pple were happi wen dey were formd but due 2 sum selfish behaviour dey goofed on that part nd that why pple still doubt dem if dey are really here for change

don't mind APC, they want to use Fashola as VP due to his popularity to win the presidential election. Fashola deserve presidential ticket not as a VP candidate
