The national leadership of the Peoples
Democratic Party is pushing for the resignation of
the Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Mallam Aminu Tambuwal over his defection to the
APC.
Already, the members of the National Working
Committee of the party had met with PDP leaders
in the House concerning the defection.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Chief
Olisa Metuh, disclosed this in an interview with
journalists in Abuja.
He said, “After a thorough consideration of the
matter, the NWC came to a conclusion that the
Hon. Speaker, as a responsible elected officer,
knows full well what is needful and honourable of
him since his new party is in the minority.
“We are not unmindful of the fact that Hon.
Tambuwal became Speaker on the platform of the
PDP as the political party with the majority of
seats in the House of Representatives and that
this incontrovertible fact has not changed.”
It was gathered that the party might be pushing
for his impeachment if he refused to resign.

Yes! let the game start. Mr former speaker, how things nah? will you be Honorable enough to do the needful?

And if he does not resign what will they do? Impeach him? They dont have the necessary two thirds needed to do that.

This is some crazy catch 22

Nigerian politicians are clowns and sometimes, good strategists

Welcome to nigeria


Where PDP will never allow a person who leaves the party to another, to retain its position

What is needed is a simple majority and not a two third!

There is no need to start singing the impeachment song, if his new party is the minority in the house...he should do the needful and step down as the speaker...for the majority party in the house to take over leadership...

Owk

i don't care sha

Someone said this impeachment is imminent in the thread about his defection.
One party is getting paranoid, the other is waxing stronger by the day. I believe you know where I'm going with this?
2015 will be interesting.

PDP and petty politics. I only pray God gives their minions on this forum the fortitude to bear the loss.

Wishful thinking.

Mscheew.

this is what we call backstabbing of the highest order. no need for resignation request he should be impeached immediately as long as he against pdp #gej2015

Lol.... U no know book!

Two third is 240 and PDP members are not up2. So?

Na wa ooo. So i should start arguing abt his defection wit my data abi? Even as data don cost now? I no go try am. Maka na ife balaaba abago!

You have to be stupid to think any Hausa will be willing to impeach one their own. You also have to be dumb to think Tambuwal doesn't have the number in his pocket before switching his party. Action in futility is what PDP is trying to do.

He has to resign , u can't deflect from a party that gave u power and still retain power.
