Tambuwal Confirmed Himself, Stomach Directed Politician Without Concience – APC
By Tom Okpe
The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC has said former Governor of Sokoto State, Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal only confirmed himself as stomach Directed Politician Without Concience.
The former Speaker, House of Representatives had said at a People’s Democratic Party, PDP, stakeholders’ North West Zonal meeting expressed disappointment over the recent wave of defections by members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
He was quoted to have said: “I believe that no one with conscience will join the APC. People leave parties for different reasons, but what I have been observing in recent times are defections, not based on the interest of the people but on stomach infrastructure.”

The National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Barr Felix Morka, said in a press statement on Sunday that riled by the gale of defection plaguing his decimated PDP, Senator Tambuwal, on Saturday, February 15, 2025, opined that the development was only driven by ‘stomach infrastructure’ as, in his warped view, no politician with conscience would join the APC.
He said: “There remains profound wisdom in the saying that people who live in glass houses should not throw stones. That wisdom has clearly eluded Tambuwal, a notorious and vainglorious Party defector. Evidently, his comments more aptly characterized his own convoluted record of defections from the All Nigeria Peoples Party, ANPP, to the Democratic People’s Party, DPP, in 2007 and back to ANPP and then off to the PDP, and decamping in 2014 to APC and finally crawling back to PDP, ignominiously, in 2018.
“Contrary to Tambuwal’s jibe, members of the PDP are joining APC, ostensibly, to identify with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s bold economic reform agenda in the face of growing and undeniable positive indications of a resurgent Nigeria.
“Many of the defectors have offered this as reason for their defection, apart from the fact that the PDP is in a state of bedlam, and is now an unrecognizable shadow of its old self.
“Recently, for the first time in many years, on President Tinubu’s vigilant watch, the country has surpassed its Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries’ OPEC’s, quota of 1.5 mbpd. This remarkable feat is attributable to a combination of factors, from vastly improved security to purpose-driven oil sector reforms.
“Similarly, the country has recorded consistent trade surpluses; increased Foreign Direct Investments, FDIs; high yielding stock market; enhanced foreign reserve and numerous other indices of a steadily rebounding economy.
“Instead of begrudging citizens for exercising their fundamental freedom of association, Tambuwal and fellow political villains, like former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, should accept responsibility for the political carnage in the PDP, apologize to their members and maintain a humble and penitent disposition, going forward.”
