PDP Asks Speaker Tambuwal, Latest Defector, To Resign by WIZGUY69(m): 5:28pm On Oct 29, 2014 |
The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has asked Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, who formally defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) today, to resign his position as Speaker of the House of Representatives. “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 [in the House]” the party said at the end of the NWC meeting. In a polite statement signed by National Publicity Secretary Olisa Metuh, the PDP said it was not unmindful of the fact that Tambuwal became Speaker on its platform as the political party with the majority of seats, a fact it described as “incontrovertible” and “has not changed.” Tambuwal abandoned the PDP today, thereby becoming the latest high-profile figure of the party to do so. In 2011, he replaced the former Speaker, Dimeji Bankole, also of the PDP, who was toppled in a corruption scandal. Bankole had himself in 2007 replaced by former hairdresser Patricia Etteh, also of the PDP, who had also been brought down by allegations of corruption and unauthorized spending.
