Dimeji Bankole Stages Come Back With Speaker Tambuwal As Front

If you think former speaker of the Federal House of Representatives, Hon Dimeji Bankole is out of the nation’s power equation- you are far from the truth.

Investigations revealed that the disgraced former number four man is quietly putting structures in place to launch himself back to political reckoning.

And he is said to be gradually achieving this using the influence of his replacement and incumbent speaker of the Federal House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal as bargaining chip.

Dimeji is presently regarded as one of the most trusted adviser and closest confidante of Speaker Tambuwal by very close aides and associates of the new speaker.

He is said to have attained this status in the guise of helping Tambuwal to stabilize the house and settle down into office, in the wake of the division that rocked the latter’s emergence as speaker of the House.

Those conversant with the ways of the former speaker revealed that he is staying put in Abuja in order to be close to his power point- and warm his way back to the good books of the powers that be on the strength of this.

Bankole is widely believed not to enjoy great rapport with the presidency- and acolytes- based on past conflicts of interest between him and president Goodluck Jonathan.

It is also believed that Bankole’s arrest and detention on charges of corruption and related offences- immediately he left office- has root in his support for Tambuwal to succeed him.

Tambuwal was not a candidate of the presidency for his current position

Bankole’s release and current reprieve was reportedly orchestrated by a collage of influences pooled together by his friends in the House of Representatives- and their handlers outside of it.

Investigations revealed that the politician from Ogun state is keeping a very quiet low profile in order not to draw attention to his comeback plans- especially his confidante cum adviser role to Speaker Tambuwal.

It is feared any form of spotlight on him might attract attention to his subtle moves- and generate avoidable oppositions that might cripple the attempt.

He is said to be so keen about guarding his antics that he shuns virtually all his perceive friends-and relates with loyalists on only need to know basis.
