He said the leadership of the party was consulting on how to zone political offices across the country, asserting that contrary to the believe that the APC was being torn apart over sharing of political offices, “the party is consulting and I am sure after the consultation, the party will announce its decision.”

According to him, “Now we have a brand new president, elections are over and the country is calm and quiet. All of us elected officials dedicate this victory to God Almighty. It is only God Almighty that gives power and He takes it away from whoever He designs at any time. Let me assure all Nigerians that our party, particularly the presidentelect, Buhari will do justice to all manners of people of this great nation.

“He is a great man that is aware of the enormity of responsibilities as president of all and not president of a political party. And indeed in particular, the people of the South-south and South-east, President Buhari will be fair and very kind to all of us as soon as he resumes office come May 29,” he stated.

While expressing his appreciation to the people of Opoji kingdom and the traditional rulers, Tambuwal pointed out that “I am particularly happy with His Highness for all his prayers both when I was tear gassed at the National Assembly by the police and during my election as governor. Opoji is my second home and I am very grateful for this title.”
