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.
