Embattled Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, on Thursday, in Abuja, was presented with the presidential nomination form of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The Speaker, we learnt, got the form at his residence in Abuja from some members of the APC in the House of Representatives. He was given the form by his colleagues, who have shown support to him since he decamped from the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, to the APC in late October 2014.
The lawmakers had gone to the national secretariat of the APC in Abuja at about 5pm to obtain the N27.5 million form for Tambuwal. They later went to the Speaker’s house to present him with the form.
With this, Tambuwal hopes to emerge flag-bearer of the APC for the February 2015 presidential election. Other members of the APC who have picked their nomination forms are Muhammadu Buhari, Atiku Abubakar, Rabiu Kwankwaso and Sam Nda-Isiah.
