The Speaker of House of Representatives, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has announced his withdrawal from the 2015 presidential race for now, ending his ambition since his defection to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) from the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) three weeks ago.
Tambuwal, however, heightened suspense as he was silent on his rumoured bid to contest the Sokoto State governorship position as a fall back plan despite assurances by party chieftains in the state that arrangements had been concluded for him to declare for the governorship on APC platform.
He added that his decision was taken as a sacrifice for the cohesion and unity of the APC, saying he was suspending his participation in the presidential race for now because he does not have any inordinate ambition to occupy any office.
“Nigeria is a country too great to sacrifice on the altar of partisan politics and personal ambition. What anyone becomes in life is exclusively in the hands of God. Only God gives power to whoever he pleases,” he said.
