Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, has thrown his full weight behind the new Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, formed by former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar. This was made known by the Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Hon Zakari Mohammed, while addressing some journalists in Abuja.
The House spokesman noted that even though he cannot speak for the Speaker, he can confirm that Tambuwal is for the progressives and for those who truly want to positively reposition the PDP.
“Tambuwal is a man of the majority and therefore naturally belongs to the new PDP, which is progressive and responsive,” Muhammed told newsmen.
“Although I cannot speak for the honourable Speaker,” he said, “I can confirm that he is the peoples’ Speaker and he is the Speaker for all and would naturally flow with the majority,” Muhammed added.
He informed further that Tambuwal “cannot abandon his governor in the struggle. He is from Sokoto State and the governor, Aliyu Wamakko, is a prime mover of this PDP. So, he cannot be missing in action.
“But it is left for you to read the writing on the wall. We have to support our leaders and governors to reposition our great party and those who are with us are the majority. Anybody who is on the other side should better have a rethink.”
