A leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, has commended the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, for withdrawing from the race for the party’s presidential ticket.
Mr. Tambuwal had, on Tuesday, suspended his presidential ambition barely one week after some of his colleagues in the House purchased the party’s presidential nomination and expression of interest forms for him.
In a statement by his media office on Wednesday, Mr. Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State, said Mr. Tambuwal’s bold decision to suspend the pursuit of his presidential ambition is cast in the mould of wise political decisions that set the tone for positive and progressive thinking so badly needed to lift our country up.
Mr. Tinubu noted that rather than pursue a selfish ambition, the Speaker humbly submitted himself to the service of the common good.
He said that whatever anyone might say, the speaker had made history.
The former governor said since Mr. Tambuwal joined the APC, the party had become stronger. ...PremiumTimes
