TAMBUWAL IS A MOLE IN PDP – EX-SENATE PRESIDENT

Former Senate President, Ameh Ebute, has accused the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Aminu Tambuwal, of being a mole in the ruling People’s Democratic Party, PDP.
He also ruled out the possibility of Tambuwal declaring the seats of the 37 defected lawmakers vacant, hinging his stance on the fact that Tambuwal actively works with the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC.
In an open letter to Tambuwal yesterday, which was made available to the Nigerian Pilot in Abuja, Ebute said Tambuwal had been a mole in the PDP and his body and soul had remained with the opposition from which he defected to the PDP in 2007.
According to him, Tambuwal had been traversing the entire country under one guise or the other but had in fact been secretly lobbying for APC presidential ticket.
“The Tambuwal I know was not a founding member of the PDP. He won election into House of Representatives in 2003 on the platform of the defunct All Nigeria Peoples party, ANPP. He was a strong loyalist of Gov. Aliyu Wamakko of Sokoto State. And when Wamakko abandoned the ANPP and grabbed the ticket of the PDP offered him by former president Olusegun Obasanjo, Tambuwal an appendage of Wamakko, followed him to the PDP. That was how Tambuwal won an election and became the Deputy Majority Leader under the leadership of Hon Dimeji Bankole as Speaker of the House of Representatives.”
Ebute declared that as a former Senate President, himself and his colleagues and associates were very worried at the inception of the current House “when you Tambuwal connived with the opposition, entered into an agreement with the now defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN and Congress for Progressive, CPC, hoodwinked a good number of the members of the House in order to scuttle the plan of the PDP to install a South-West member of the House in accordance with the agreed zoning arrangement.
“When the PDP zoned the Speakership of the House to the South-West it was expected that all members elected on the platform of the party would be loyal to it. The leadership of the PDP did not know that there was a mole in the PDP.”
He said the opposition represented by the defunct ACN and CPC supported Tambuwal and deceived members of the PDP in order to install Tambuwal as the Speaker of the House.
“It was obvious to all that the intention of the opposition and yourself was to cause disaffection in the polity as your emergence as Speaker disenfranchised the South-West. The South-West has been very aggrieved that the position zoned to them was taken away. And they erroneously blame Mr. President for this predicament. The marginalisation issue became one of the reasons for which they demanded a National Conference.”
Ameh emphasised that the motive for Tinubu’s support was definitely not “altruistic but devious, manipulative, disharmonious and destructive.”
