FaroukGate: How aggrieved PDP leaders want Lawan to implicate Tambuwal

There was revelation that some Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) promient leaders are making a plot to implicate the House of Representatives Speaker, Aminu Tambuwal in the ongoing police’s investigation on $620,000 cash-for-clearance scandal. The aggrieved leaders of the ruling party was said to have been unhappy about how Tambuwal is relating with opposition party leaders. It will be recalled that the incumbent speaker won the seat following the support of leadership of Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and other oppostion parties leaders who directed their members to vote for Tambuwal becuase he was not the PDP anointed candidate. “Daily Post” gathered authoritatively that the unhappy ruling Leaders are ready to drop the case against the suspended former Chairman of Fuel Subsidy, Hon. Farouk Lawan if he can implicate Tambuwal as one of the beneficiaries of the foreign currency. It was also learnt that the PDP aggrieved leaders promised to ensure Lawan secure the governorship ticket of Kano state in 2015 if he mention Tambuwal in the bribery scandal. According to a source, the plot to implicate Tambuwal
is said to be part of the ongoing investigation of a “new clue” provided by a businessman, Femi Otedola, who alleged that Lawan could not have acted alone. Otedola said he gave Lawan $620,000 to get his Zenon Oil off the list of companies which abused fuel subsidy. It was gathered that security agencies had discovered a segment of the video tape of the bribery scam in which Lawan told Otedola that “he had collected his own too”. Although it was learnt that no name was actually mentioned by Lawan, there is an attempt to link the said “he” to the Speaker. Otedola may also be asked to unmask the “he” in what looked like a trap for Tambuwal. The source added: “Some forces have been so desperate to have the Speaker implicated in the bribery scam. They do not even mind dropping any case against Lawan if the Speaker can come into the picture”
