2015: Tambuwal to pick APC Presidential nomination form

Reports have it that the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, may on Monday pick the expression of interest and nomination forms of the All Progressives Congress,  APC, to run for the presidency of the country.

According to an exclusive P.M News report, Tambuwal has received the support of his colleagues in the House who are solidly backing him because of his young age.

The Speaker is however still battling to get his security details back after they were withdrawn by the Inspector General of Police, Suleiman Abba following his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC.

With Tambuwal’s expected entry into the presidential race, the number of those seeking the APC’s ticket will increase to five, already having former Head of State, General Muhammad Buhari; former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar; Chairman of Leadership Newspapers, Sam Nda-Isiah; and current Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, who have all already picked their nomination and expression of interest forms.

It was reliably gathered that the leaders of APC in settling for Tambuwal considered the fact that his integrity will sway the support of Nigerians in his favour in the presidential election.

It was also learnt that those rooting for Tambuwal in APC were of the opinion that his pedigree stands him in good stead over aspirants of other political parties in the presidential election. They also point to his young age as another good factor.
