The presidential race today gathered more momemtum as the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, has accepted the APC presidential nomination form purchased for him by some members of the House and “broad-based associates.”
The presentation took place at his Maitama residence in Abuja. Tambuwal said he would continue with consultation and give a final position soonest.
It would be recalled that the speaker early this month dumped the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP for the All Progressives Congress, APC. It was initially rumoured that the Sokoto-born lawmaker was gunning for the governorship position of his state.
