According to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, no fewer than 80
lawmakers of the APC were at the APC secretariat in Abuja on Monday for a
consultative session with party executives.
It was gathered that Speaker Tambuwal, who last week defected to the APC from the PDP, was also part of the closed door meeting with APC leaders.
Speaking prior to the start of the closed door session, APC Chairman,
Chief John Odigie-Oyegun told newsmen that he was excited to host the
Speaker for the first time at the national level.
Odigie-Oyegun described Tambuwal as an exceptional bridge builder, adding that he was impressed at the way the Speaker’s colleagues heralded his coming each time.
“This is the first meeting at the national level that I’m having the pleasure of hosting you as a member of the APC.
The APC chairman said the party had an infusion of adrenaline and Tambuwal’s arrival brought the latest infusion.
He said the party was leading the nation on a path of salvation and rescue and the meeting was to strategise and consult to ensure that salvation.
It would be recalled that since Tambuwal joined the APC, his security detail had been withdrawn by the Inspector General of Police, IGP, SuleIman Abba.
A move that many Nigerians have condemned and which Tambuwal had gone to court to seek redress.
Meanwhile, a source told Vanguard that the PDP is angry with the speaker because he betrayed their trust as he used the party to step up the ladder to achieve his political dreams.
It was reported on Monday that the Speaker, Hon Aminu Tambuwal, has accused the PDP, of plotting to remove him from office.
