By Editor
Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal has said he has never hidden the fact that he benefited from political gestures extended by President Bola Tinubu during their years of alliance in the All Progressives Congress.
Speaking on his past relationship with Tinubu, the former Sokoto governor noted that political partnerships often involve mutual support, and acknowledging that history does not contradict his current positions.
Tambuwal explained that his present political engagements are guided by the interest of his constituents and national stability, rather than personal loyalty or past favors.
He stressed that Nigerian politics has always been fluid, with alliances shifting as circumstances and national priorities change ahead of elections.
The senator stated that he remains open to working with the federal government on policies that serve the public good, while also retaining the right to criticize where necessary.
According to him, maturity in politics means separating historical cooperation from present disagreements without erasing the record of what transpired.
Tambuwal added that his focus in the Senate is on legislative oversight, economic reforms, and issues that directly affect the people of Sokoto and Nigeria at large.
Political analysts say his comments highlight the reality that many current opponents were once allies, and that such admissions often surface as the country edges closer to the 2027 election cycle.
