Tambuwal’s week of decision

After months of speculation and uncertainty the political destination of Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Aminu Tambuwal, will be decided this week.

Apart from the public knowing the next political step he will take, everybody will also know it whether or not he will dump his Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and officially join the All Progressives Congress, APC.
“His political future will be unveiled this week. I might not be able to tell you the exact day it will be done but I am certain it will take place this last week of the month of October,” one of the Speaker’s aide told Daily Sun.
It is not far-fetched why Tambuwal must, of compulsion, take a stand this week. The national convention for both the APC and PDP is just few weeks away. Whereas many are not in doubt about Tambuwal playing a key role in the 2015 general election, only few, arguably, can say with certainty the shape such role will take. While he has consistently been associated with the APC presidential ticket, those close to him have insisted that the man will contest the Sokoto governorship. The picture of his ambition will certainly become clearer in the next few days. Same with the platform under which he will contest the actualise it.
While he has remained officially a PDP Speaker, Mr. Tambuwal is believed to have long fallen out with the party. He has been absent from key party’s functions for a while.
Tambuwal’s media aide, Imam, is silent on whether the Speaker has or will decamp to APC or not. But that will likely be in the purview of the masses this week...post by expdonaloaded
