Photos: Tambuwal joins the Presidential race to diss PDP, Jonathan?

Embatteled Speaker of the House of Rep. Aminu Tambuwal may have joined the Presidential race to diss the PDP, and its sole presidential flag bearer, President Goodluck Jonathan.
As the 2015 drama unfolds,  this may just be the thriller.


Speaker Tambuwal was earlier tipped to run as governor in his home state, Sokoto but later changed, and now wants to take President Jonathan's job as president of Nigeria.

The spokesperson, Imam Imam said,
“Earlier today, some friends and political associates of the Speaker notified him that they have bought the forms for him,”
According to Premium Times, several APC members in the House of Representatives trooped to the party’s Abuja office to purchase the presidential forms on Tambuwal’s behalf.

It is said that speaker Tambuwal is in the presidential race at the prompting of one of the leaders of the party, Bola Tinubu, the leader of APC.

Mr. Tambuwal’s indication of interest brings to five the number of persons who vying for the nation’s top job on the platform of the APC.

Others who had earlier picked the forms are former Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano state, and newspaper publisher, Sam Nda-Isiah.

The APC has said it will conduct a modified primary election in which delegates will vote for their candidate of choice from their home state, after which a national convention will simply collate and ratify the votes from across the country.
