He was not invited because he has always had a thing for the opposition. Though he is still a card-carrying member of PDP,no sane PDP politician will take him serious because they all know that his defection to the APC is imminent. He should come out and make his stance known,instead of sitting on the fence. I like his wisdom though;he's a typical politician who allows the dust to settle before making a move that could make or mar his political career. How I wish Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State were as sagacious as Tambuwal is,he wouldn't have been in a tight corner now,just by being too hasty to decamp from APGA.

ok

This guy should do the needful and defect to where his heart really is. He can't be eating from both camps. But hes a strongman o! I wonder why PDP has not bewn able to plot his downfall since he started treating them like shitt

If this man believes that APC can win election in Nigeria. Why can't he just resign as speaker and join them.

Buhari for president..... I stil dey laff oo

I hear

A very strange politician. He is in pdp but actually derive his power in the house from the opposition.
The media aide said he hasn't defected but is still making consultations on his political future which mean he admitted openly that his principal is actually considering his stay in pdp.
I don't think he will ever decamp while still the speaker so as not to lose the seat by default by being in a majority party there.
I think pdp should set a political precedent of de-partying a member if it doesn't exist already.

The speaker even has a special adviser.

As old as these our leaders are, they don't even know what they want.

When are we ever going to have a straight news that won't be denied any moment? Naija media sef

In my country Nigeria, politicians always deny something about them the first time it gets to the public but will later admit it days after.
