Contrary to the expectations of President Goodluck Jonathan and
his aides who have been accusing Speaker of the House of Reps,
Aminu Tambuwa, of associating with their "enemies", Chief
Olusegun Obasanjo on Friday took a different stand. He said he is
happy and very proud of the way Speaker Tambuwal has been
leading the House of Representatives.
In what some say is an open endorsement for Tambuwal's future
ambition, Obasanjo said:
“I like you, in fact I love you, please go ahead with what you
are doing at the National Assembly. I am behind you. I am a
principled person and I like the way you run the affairs of
the House of Representatives .”
Obasanjo stated this in Sokoto on Friday at a ceremony to lay the
foundation of phase 2 of the Usman Faruq Secretariat.
During his visit to Sokoto, Obasanjo paid a courtesy visit to Sultan
of Sokoto Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, who he commended for his
“tireless efforts” at promoting unity in the country.
The Sultan, in turn, begged Obasanjo not to quit politics yet,
saying Nigerians still need him around.
