A political group under the banner of the *North-South Alliance for Good Governance*, made up of allies of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has launched a scathing attack on former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, accusing him of repeated acts of betrayal and political double-dealing.
In a statement issued in Kaduna on Wednesday and signed by the group’s Chairman, Mallam Abdullahi Ibrahim, and Secretary, Chief Augustine Udeh, the organisation described Tambuwal as “fond of betraying benefactors in pursuit of narrow political interests and ethnic identity politics.”
The group alleged that Tambuwal has consistently turned against allies who once supported his political ambitions. It cited his role in the 2011 contest for the House of Representatives speakership, where he was backed by southern allies but later supported a northern candidate against Femi Gbajabiamila in 2023.
They also accused him of betraying the former Rivers State Governor, now FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, who had supported Tambuwal’s presidential bid in 2019. “Tambuwal’s smiles and persuasive tongue turned out to be deceitful,” the statement read, noting that he later opposed Wike’s presidential ambition in the 2023 primaries, throwing his weight behind Atiku Abubakar.
The group further linked Tambuwal to what they described as “unholy alliances” with former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, recalling past political clashes involving the late Barr. Inuwa Abdulkadir of the Sokoto Caliphate, whose suspension from APC leadership, they claimed, was influenced by El-Rufai.
“Tambuwal’s utterances once again bring to the fore a history of treacherous political conduct, intrigues, and insensitivity to those who supported him,” the statement said.
They warned that Tambuwal’s current political posturing ahead of the 2027 general election reflects an attempt to promote sectional interests at the expense of national unity.
The group declared support for Minister Wike, praising his performance at the FCT Ministry and vowing to resist what they called “mischief makers and disgruntled politicians” working against Wike and Tinubu.
“It is high time Nigerians realised that Tambuwal’s pan-Nigerian outlook is a façade. His selective truth-telling only exposes him further,” the group concluded.
