OPPOSITION SENATORS OPPOSE TAMBUWAL AS MINORITY LEADER

Senators elected on the platforms of opposition political parties moving against the Presidential Candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP Atiku Abubakar’s choice of former Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal as Senate Minority leader.

The agitated senators have vowed to resist Atiku’s move to impose Tambuwal on them just the same way they fought against the imposition of Godswill Akpabio, by the APC and Tinubu on the Senate.

A PDP senator from Rivers State and another senator from the North and a ranking senator from the South West, who spoke under the condition of anonymity separately vowed to resist attempts to impose Tambuwual on them.

They expressed their readiness to vote for any person other than him.

The senators insist that Tambuwal has a record of throwing his political allies under the bus at critical moments to promote his selfish interests and that he lacks the capacity to provide the needed leadership as a minority leader.

The senators resolved to vote for any ranking senator other than the former Sokoto State governor.

Some of the minority Senators who spoke after a meeting on Wednesday said that the indications are clear that with what Tambuwal did against the PDP, he would use the minority leader position to negotiate and apologize to President Ahmed Bola Tinubu who he betrayed after making him Speaker of the House of Representatives.
