@Ukkayode “Aminu Tambuwal officially dumps APC for PDP…….PDP tsunami continues. Oshiomole are you sleeping less than 3 weeks as the chairman of the Ruling party and divided the house because of personal greed of some leaders & you. Mind you, this is not labour that you give ultimatum.”

I have consulted widely especially with the people of sokoto and they have confidently assured me of my next political move. I hereby defect officially to the @OfficialPDPNig

@Seyoyo “Tambuwal’s defection is a significant event in a way Saraki’s or the legislators’ isn’t. The legislative defections IMO were driven by weakness not strength. A young governor abandoning the cause is significant – even though I don’t see how it benefits him.”

@Daldino “Thing is Tambuwal and Yari are probably the most horrible governors in the North. The region could do alot without them.”

@Onero “Finally Gov. Tambuwal is back to his official home @OfficialPDPNig He just left @OfficialAPCNg Sinking ship.”

@CBNjohn “Congratulations! Even a toddler in politics knows it will happen. Tambuwal is a serial snitch.”

@daldino “What now for Sokoto? What does Wamako do from here? Get a new governor for the poor ppl of Sokoto or will Tambuwal get reelected?

@Zubichild “Tambuwal decamps third Gov in one week. Though some will say APC is purging bad eggs. Fine! The Party better accept this a huge LOSS & roll up their sleeves.”

@Yincar “Another one dumps the ruling APC. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal is now in PDP. Very interesting times.”

@Sadimbichi “I’m very curious as to what these deluded Buhari fanatics have to say about Tambuwal.”

@Kingzvfr “PDP is now a time bomb waiting to explode soon. Now Tambuwal has joined the list of too many aspirants desperately wanting to become President. I give them till October before their marriage breaks up again.”

@Okunlolaore “With the defection of Tambuwal, it will be interesting to see how Bubu navigates this muddy waters.”


@O_basslet “You said Saraki is a nobody, you said Kwankwaso is a nobody, you said Tambuwal is not relevant, you said Shekarau is a nobody, you said Benue is too small, Kwara is negligible, Adamawa can go, yet confident Buhari will win north by landslide, Your eyes will soon clear.”

I wholeheartedly welcome back two of our finest men, @AWTambuwal and @BolajiAbdullahi who went on ‘sabbatical leave’ to the All Progressives Congress.
Glad you are finally back home.
