The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Honourable Aminu Tambuwal may have joined the race to contest the 2015 presidential election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as his ‘friends and associates’ have picked the presidential nomination form on his behalf.
The Special Adviser on Media to the Speaker, Mallam Imam Imam, confirmed the purchase of the nomination form in a text message to Channels Television.
He said “earlier today, some friends and political associates of the speaker notified him that they have bought the forms for him,”.
When asked to name the group behind the nomination form and what was the response of the speaker when he was informed of the nomination form, Mallam Imam simply said
“He (Speaker) thanked them for considering him worthy to contest the highest office in the land”
If Honourable Tambuwal accepts to join the race, he would be contesting with five others, who have earlier picked their nomination forms on the platform of the APC.
The others in the race include former Head of State, retired General Muhammadu Buhari, former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano State and Leadership Newspaper publisher, Mr Sam Nda-Isaiah.
