There are indications that reprieve
may come the way of the Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal with regards to providing him
Police security following his triumph as the All Progressive Congress
governorship candidate in Sokoto State.
Sources disclosed that the provision
of Police security for Tambuwal, is however borne out of the duty by the Police
High Command to ensure that all such successful candidates of all the political
parties, are given security protection because of their status before and
during the 2015 elections.
Saturday Vanguard was told categorically that the provision of security for
the Tambuwal had nothing to do with the withdrawal of his security details as
Speaker since that was a separate issue that is in the law courts.
Confirming the development when Saturday
Vanguard sought to know if Tambuwal’s security will be restored as Speaker,
Force Public Relations officer, CP Emmanuel Ojukwu said, “The Police will do
the needful in protecting Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal and all other contestants”.
Recall that Police authorities
ordered the withdrawal of security personnel attached to the Speaker of the
House of Representatives, Hon Tambuwal, after announcing his defection from the
PDP to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
At the APC primaries held in Sokoto
on Thursday, Tambuwal defeated four other contestants to emerge Sokoto APC
governorship candidate thus making him the contestant of the party against
other candidates from other political parties next February 2015.
