Following the envisaged mass
defection by federal lawmakers to the
opposition All Progressives Congress
(APC), as a fallout of last week’s
dumping of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) by four governors, the
battle for the control of the House of
Representatives may have
begun. Daily Sun gathered that
Speaker Aminu Tambuwal is under
pressure to resign over fears that
some of his colleagues, especially
members of the PDP, who are not
interested in defecting to APC, may
pass a vote of no confidence in him
as well as frustrate his leadership of
the House.
It was gathered that the lawmakers
after Tambuwal would, among other
reasons, accuse him of
masterminding the insistence of $79
oil benchmark for 2014 budget
projection.
Sources revealed that some
legislators who have enlisted in anti-
Tambuwal project have been meeting
and trying to enlist as many
supporters as possible. It was
gathered that they are working with
some chieftains of the PDP.
Daily Sun gathered that his
supporters are also preparing to
defend him, especially over the oil
benchmark, since they have the
support of governors of their states.
The lawmakers are backed by their
governors, who also encouraged and
influenced them to support a $79
benchmark because of the cash
crunch that lesser benchmark would
cause the states. Many of the states
are having financial problem owing to
a drop in revenue allocation, which
has made it impossible for them to
pay salaries and meet other
obligations.
Meanwhile, it was gathered that the
main anxiety is that there may be
commotion in the House, if some
lawmakers trying to pass a no
confidence vote in Tambuwal.
Some lawmakers, who spoke on
condition of anonymity, expressed
fears that if there’s commotion in the
House, security agents may take over
the National Assembly, causing the
House to adjourn sine dine .
“We are not afraid that they would
succeed in passing a vote of no
confidence in Tambuwal. Our fear is
that in an attempt to do so, there may
be commotion in the House, which
could give those after the Speaker to
send in security agents, just as it
happened in Rivers State,” one of the
lawmakers stated.
He contended that if this happens, it
may be impossible for the House to
meet and perform its functions,
adding: “I suspect that the
government is afraid that if APC takes
control of the House, it would be
difficult for it to get approvals on
certain things. Therefore, they may
not want the House to sit.”

Break up will be the best.
From every indication, this marriage called Nigeria is not working
Ndi Awusa want to remain in power by all means hence forming Boko Haram to destabilize and Islamize Nigeria.
Some APC chieftains are busy sponsoring them.

My Biafra in my mind...

The sauce is the The Sun Newspaper....any self respecting person will wait for a source..not sauce.

If they like, they should massacre themselves. Who cares. Bunch of thieves.

I pray Nigeria breaks before 2015.

This' not the first time, they've been pressurizing him!

tyson99: I pray nigeria doesn't break. In 2015

In our best interest, let it break.
Afterall this union called Nigeria seem not to be working.

One problem we have in Nigeria is the press,it has been politicised so one cant totally believe their stories.


The Sun for example is owned by Orji Uzor Kalu,a former governor of Abia state.PDP member.

prayer not answered.

Recently I saw 'tambuwal for president' posters without a party on it. I'll rather take tambuwal than Jonathan in 2015 though. He can't be worse than the ijaw man.
