The speaker of the house of Representatives; Rt. Honourable Aminu Tambuwal has been told by some members of the All Progressives Congress in the House of Representatives to run as a presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress.

Investigations revealed that the members took it upon themselves to purchase the APC presidential nomination form for Tambuwal, who recently dumped the Peoples Democratic Party for the nation's main opposition party.

Attempts by the APC to pick a presidential candidate by consensus failed after talks between the stakeholders reportedly collapsed on Wednesday.

The contest was initially between a former Head of State, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd); a former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar; Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, and Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha.‎
