The Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal, shunned last Thursday’s National
Executive Committee meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party to evade the
decision of the party to endorse President Goodluck Jonathan as its
sole 2015 presidential candidate, The OLOKUNBOLA has learnt.
Findings showed that Tambuwal was in
Abuja throughout Thursday and was even meeting with the national
leadership of the Nigerian Bar Association at the National Assembly
while the NEC meeting was going on in the city.
In the past, whenever he avoided major
PDP meetings, excuses such as being out of the country or attending an
important event elsewhere were givený by his office to explain his
absence.
However, The Olokunbola gathered that this time round, Tambuwal was not only duly informed of the meeting but he was also very much in Abuja.
