2015: Speaker Tambuwal In Secret Meeting With Obasanjo

The Speaker of House of Reps, Aminu Tambuwal, held a secret meeting with President Olusegun Obasanjo at his Hilltop home in Abeokuta, capital of Ogun State, on Tuesday as the 2015 battle gathers momentum.

Tambuwal, who arrived at the ex-president's residence around 5.30pm, left around 6.18pm. It was gathered that the visit might not be unconnected with the speaker's 2015 political ambition. It is strongly believed that the Speaker is nursing a presidential ambition.

However, his media aide, Mr. Imam Imam, said Tambuwal and Obasanjo only rubbed minds on the state of the nation and how to move it forward.

He said, "You know Baba is father to all in the country. The visit was a consultation. It is about rubbing minds on how to move the country forward and make Nigeria better."

Asked whether the visit was in connection with Tambuwal's rumoured presidential ambition in 2015, Imam said he could not confirm that because it was a closed door meeting between Tambuwal and Obasanjo.

He said, "I can't say anything on that because it was a closed door meeting. About the presidential ambition, that also I cannot comment on. Let's wait till 2015 and then we will address that."
