Aminu Tambuwal Picks Up APC Presidential Form


tambuwal-360x225
Before now, everyone was looking at Gen. Buhari or former vice president Atiku as flag bearers for the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress, APC, but there’s seems to be a new turn, as yesterday evening, more than 80 associates of Speaker Aminu Tambuwal procured the party’s expression of interest and nomination forms for him.

According to Vanguard, Tambuwal’s entry into the race, was last night whispered in some circles as a change of strategy by party leader, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who had been largely considered to be backing Gen. Muhammadu Buhari for the presidency.
According to an Atiku associate;
“This shows that Tinubu has altered his calculations on Buhari and it gives us room to pick up support where it had been blocked before, What do we do other than sit down and enjoy it?”
Now, the APC has five aspirants in the race, which are Buhari, Atiku, Governor Rabiu Kwankwanso of Kano State, newspaper publisher, Mr. Sam Nda-Isaiah and Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State(although has declared his interest but is yet to pick a form ahead of today’s deadline for the sale of the nomination forms).
So does Tambuwal stand a better chance than both Atiku and Buhari???
