There are strong indications that the plot to impeach Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal is not only real but is thickening.
But the Speaker is not sleeping as he has allegedly deployed his foot soldiers to move in to nip the plot in the bud.
The first indication to this was the sudden adjournment of the session on Thursday barely two days after the House resumed from their two-months holidays.
They are billed to resume after October 1 Independence anniversary celebration.
Though the Speaker premised the reason for the adjournment on the fact that members would have time to go on 2013 budget oversight, but sources in the House said, on the contrary, it was a sharp move to create room for manoeuvre and troubleshooting.
Nonetheless, a top member of the House confirmed to LEADERSHIP that, indeed, a handful of members of the House of Representatives, particularly those in the mainstream People's Democratic Party (PDP), are enlisting in droves, while some elements in the opposition said to be disenchanted with the Speaker, are showing interest, but are largely playing hide and sick for now.
As it stands continued a source there is sharp division in the opposition that used to be the power base of the speaker.
It was learnt that some top goons in the Presidency are channelling resources to effect the change through a governor from one of the North Central States.
The governor, it was alleged, begun deploying the funds in dollars and in some other strong foreign currencies since two weeks ago.
The strategy, it was further learnt, was three prong; one is to thwart the Speaker's alleged sympathy for the splinter PDP by making the House ungovernable whenever he attempts to bring their matter to the House, second is to push for outright impeachment after weakening his base, which is the opposition, third is to cause mayhem in the event of anybody introducing any motion near to impeaching President Goodluck Jonathan.
A source said the Speaker's men uncovered the plot to destabilize the House, but failed to factor in the possibility of the new PDP as the immediate springboard to kicks tart the process.
Already, a member of the House who pleaded anonymity disclosed that, indeed, money is flying around, but doubts seriously if the ultimate aim is only to impeach the Speaker.
It was this fear according to a source that made the Minority Whip, Samaila Kawu (APC, Kano) to raise the alarm penultimate week, alleging plot to destabilize the House and cause mayhem using the raging conflict in the ruling PDP.
Meanwhile, the House apparently to maintain its usual cohesiveness denied the plot.
It's spokesman, Zakary Mohammed said the House was not aware of the speculation, but added that it was not disturbed because the power to remove the speaker rests with all members of the House and not just a few lawmakers.
The House he said was not contemplating taking any acts against its leadership because it had no cause to do so.
Notwithstanding, Zakari admitted reports of financial ends cement of members to destabilise the leadership, but insists that the House has no hand in the said plot.

More Dancers on the floor of thE house!

I see the Speakeer as a Snake in this game of politics but ..... Things are going RED.

One day the truth shall prevail

All wil be well. I know so.

My Elder brother asked me on hearing this news that what can we do & I turned to him & ask him, what can we do?

I guess is continued presence as the speaker is also a threat to the president's intention for 2015 as he seemed to have aligned with the Baraje-led PDP but impeaching the speaker now 'll only add steel to the raging crisis in the party

Tambuwal is over-heating the polity. Let them impeach'am.

Money is flying around shey money na superman?












Last Bomb: how much is the prize of garri in the market?

d speaker is disgracing his postion by recognising an apposition in there proceedings thereby heating the polity. He should learn to respect his position as d senate president does.

When Tambuwal was firing Slavos at the president he was laughing at every fora ,now he is at the receiving end of the Monster he created with the help of his Governor Wammako!

In trying to make GEJ life uncomfortable he has ended up dividing his own house !
Those who live in Glass House should not throw stones !
GOD BLESS NIGERIA

If the plot to remove Tambuwal in any way fails, then the house will be thrown into comma just like NGF and Rivers State house. Bet on it. Tambuwal really over did it.
