Obviously he is. He can't be that daft.

Mynd44:

As at the last count, it is
PDP 205
APC 151
Accord 3
LP 1

Really a game of numbers

kasiem:
The PDP has shown its maturity in the way it handles controversial issues unlike the rascally way the major opposition we have in the country does their. When there was a minor controversy arose in the river state house of assembly we saw how they handled issue resorting to attempted murder because they thought being in the majority is an avenue to be rascally to the level they want and just recently we are witnessing the persecution the members of the PDP are suffering in the hands of APC controlled house but a recent event which would've given PDP the opportunity and power of paying back just came up and the PDP without making any major news out of it has decided to plead with tambuwal to do the needful which shows a strong sense of maturity on their part. But it's funny how tambuwal would want to eat his cake and have it, he left the party that made him what he is and still want to enjoy the fruits of that party. Without being reminded does he think that he would be renounce PDP without making any sacrifice for the atonement? Right from the word go, this man called tambuwal has been fighting gej because the man is not from the north and he thinks that the best thing to do is to jeopardise our collective interest with the way he tries frustrating gov't policies with his legislative powers. The Apc are now rejoicing that they've gained with his defection to their party without truly know that a day will come when they leopard will truly show its color. His insubordination is their gain today but lets watch and see whether he will lose this antecedent in APC.

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

waternogetenemy:


A story for the gods... Tambuwal in a couple of hours will cease to be the speaker.



Did OBJ not sack Atiku from Vice President?



U people are learning politics...

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...

ProfCorruption:


You are actually a political neophyte.

1. PDP does not have the votes to remove Tambuwal. Infact, for PDP to remove him, it needs the help of APC and for APC to remove him, it needs the help of PDP. Tambuwal's position is more secured than anything.

2.Being a smart politician, he adjourned the house for almost a month. That means this political noise will have die down by the time the house reconvenes. My attitude is after a week of deliberations in December, the house will adjourn for the year and to allow members participate in primary elections. In addition, there will be more defections and counter-defections as we approach 2015 and as members fight to secure return ticket to the House.

3. How did OBJ sack Atiku? Atiku served his term as Vice president until May 29, 2007. A better argument would be: OBJ rendered his office redundant. However, the office of a speaker can't be rendered redundant; and no important legislative agenda can be pushed without getting the speaker on board. Just the same way David Mark refused to announce Saraki's (and some senators) defection to APC, the speaker can equally sit on any bill coming from the executive. This scenario is obviously different from what's obtainable in case of a vice president whose input is not needed to actualize anything.

millionaireman:
Even if Tambuwal is not impeachable due to numbers, how can he have the courage to carry on as Speaker? Are we in a strange land with strange democracy? Does he need anybody to tell him to step down as Speaker, if not for anything, for the interest of peace and for posterity?
