2023 PDP Presidential Aspirant Sam Ohuabunwa Speaks on EFCC’s Arrest of Aminu Tambuwal
Former presidential aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sam Ohuabunwa, has weighed in on the recent arrest of ex-Sokoto State governor, Aminu Tambuwal, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
In an interview with The Punch, Ohuabunwa described the arrest as one that appeared politically motivated, echoing concerns raised by several observers and political groups.
According to him, the use of security and intelligence agencies against political opponents has become a recurring tactic in Nigeria’s political landscape.
“Tambuwal has been there before now; nobody invited him. He was Speaker of the House of Representatives, he was Governor, and he was in the Senate—nobody invited him. Inviting him at this time creates suspicion that it’s politically motivated. It may not be, but we can always draw our own conclusions,” he said.
Ohuabunwa likened the situation to an old saying: “When the witch cried last night and the child died the following morning, everyone knew the witch killed the child.” He explained that while agencies must carry out their duties, the timing and manner of such actions often lead the public to believe there are ulterior motives.
The PDP stalwart emphasized that Nigerians naturally process information through lived experiences, which is why many share the view that Tambuwal’s arrest might have political undertones.
