Since August when he dumped the
ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),
Aminu Tambuwal, governor of Sokoto state, has rarely been seen beside President
Muhammadu Buhari.
Tambuwal not only joined PDP but
he attempted running against Buhari in 2019. The governor lost the PDP
presidential ticket to former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar.
During his time in the ruling
party, he was among the governors who visited Buhari frequently at the
presidential villa in Abuja. This has changed in the last four months.
Tambuwal and Buhari put politics
aside on Sunday when they paid condolence visit to the family of ex-President,
Shehu Shagari who died in Abuja on Friday.
The deceased was buried in his
hometown in Sokoto on Saturday. Boss Mustapha, secretary to the government of
the federation, represented Buhari at the occasion.
But on Sunday, Buhari decided to
visit the family of the man whose democratic government he ended as a military
ruler, and among those who received him at the airport was Tambuwal, his former
political ally.
