APC Governors Move Against Tambuwal

 

The presidential ambition of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Aminu Tambuwal might have suffered a huge set back as governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress may queue behind Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.) as the preferred presidential candidate of the party for the 2015 election, SUNDAY PUNCH reports.

According the report, the governors are suspecting that those asking the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, to pick the presidential form are enemies of the party.
This was disclosed by two APC governors who spoke with the newspaper on Friday and Saturday respectively. Continue reading.....

One of the governors said there was no way he and his colleagues would support Tambuwal, adding that they are not worried the speaker picked the party’s nomination form.
He said, “We are not worried with his picking presidential form. He’s not going far.

“We expected him to focus on him becoming the governor of Sokoto State. He’s a good product anyway, but he’s not ripe for Presidency now. He can’t defeat President Goodluck Jonathan.”

The other governor, who is from the North, believes Tambuwal’s entrance could be a ploy by pro-Jonathan sympathisers within the party who he said, could be looking for a weak candidate that the president could easily over-run.
