Buhari Will Govern Nigeria Not APC – Tambuwal
Buhari Will Govern Nigeria Not APC – Tambuwal
Speaker of the House of
Representatives and Governor Elect of
Sokoto State, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwa has said
the President Elect, Gen.Muhammadu
Buhari will be a Nigerian President and not
President of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), saying that the President will ensure
justice to both the people of the South
South and South East in the sharing of
political positions.
He said the leadership of the party is
consulting on how to zone political offices
across the country, asserting that contrary
to the believe that the APC is being torn
apart over sharing of political offices, “the
party is consulting and I am sure after
consultation the party will announce its
decision”.
Tambuwal stated this Sunday shortly after
he was given a traditional title, the
Onosejile (God sent) of Opoji kingdom by
the Onojie of Opoji, His Royal Highness
Ehidiamen Aidonojie 1. The Speaker in
company of Governor Adams Oshiomhole
had earlier paid a condolence visit to the
Minority Whip of the House, Mr Samson
Osagie, at Urhokosa, Uhumnwonde Local
Government Area of Edo State.
Speaker Tambuwal who apparently was
referring to President Goodluck Jonathan as
a PDP President, noted that since the
election of Gen.Buhari as President,
Nigerians have been calm and hopeful for
better days to come.
According to him, “now we have a brand
new President, elections are over and the
country is calm and quiet. All of us elected
officials dedicate this victory to God
Almighty. It is only God Almighty that gives
power and he takes it away from whoever
he designs at any time. Let me assure all
Nigerians that our party, particularly the
President Elect, Gen.Buhari will do justice to
all manners of people of this great nation.
“He is a great man that is aware of the
enormity of responsibilities as President of
all and not President of a political party.
And indeed in particular, the people of the
South South and South East, President
Buhari will be fair and very kind to all of us
as soon as he resumes office come May 29”
he stated.
While expressing his appreciation to the
people of Opoji Kingdom and the traditional
rulers, Tambuwal pointed out that “I am
particularly happy with His Highness for all
his prayers both when i was tear gassed at
the National Assembly by the police and
during my election as Governor. Opoji is my
second home and I am very grateful for this
title”.
