Old Tambuwal Out. New Tambuwal In

Suddenly, a youth wing of, emmm, youths have begun whipping up support for the youthful Aminu Tambuwal as a viable alternative for President. They wish other youths to board this wagon, latch unto this drive and make it a reality as he has what it takes to deliver where others have failed. And they're running this on the platform of the opposition party, the APC.

I doubt the credentials of the character of someone as shifty as Tambuwal. And this current "politics of convenience" doesn't bode us any good. It has become convenient now for anti-PDP stalwarts to prop up a previously staunch PDP henchman for no other reason but his cross-carpeting, due, largely, to selfish ambitions? And suddenly, he's what? The Messiah? Please!

If he'd had moral grounds or clash of principles and values as the bases for defecting, that'll have been considered in a different light. But we know concepts like MORALS, VALUES, PRINCIPLES are anathema for these folks.

As an alleged "youth" I'd be doing myself a disservice allowing such characters as Tambuwal lay any claim to represent me. I speak for myself. He doesn't have that mandate. He doesn't qualify. He failed.
