Reports reaching Daily Trust indicate that all the security details attached to
Speaker of the House of Representatives Aminu Waziri Tambuwal have been withdrawn
by the Federal Government.
Tambuwal formally announced his defection from the ruling Peoples’ Democratic
Party (PDP) to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) last Tuesday.
A source told daily Trust: "Early this morning, few minutes after midnight to be
precise, top level security report informed the Speaker that orders have been given
for the withdrawal of his security details.”
The withdrawal of his security details may not be unconnected with his defection from
the PDP which didn't go down well with the party and the presidency.
The PDP had on Tuesday called on Mr. Tambuwal to resign his position as Speaker
having left the party that brought him to the House of Representatives in 2011.
Tambuwal received a warm welcome on Wednesday, a day after his formal defection
at the extraordinary national convention of the APC in Abuja when he showed up at
the convention ground accompanied by 160 of his APC colleagues.
He later addressed the convention expressing his delight in joining the APC and said
he has embraced the APC platform as an instrument for genuine change and
enduring national development.
As the number four citizen of the country in the hierarchy of protocol, the Speaker
is entitled to a round the clock security made up of men from the Police, Civil
Defence Corps and the Department of State Security (DSS).
Our source said Tambuwal was told that “a verdict will be entered against him by a
Court in Abuja on Thursday. The thing here is that why not wait for the verdict
before any action is taken? "
Efforts to reach the Speaker have so far proved unsuccessful. Calls and SMS sent to
his spokesman Malam Imam Imam, have so far remained unanswered.
Details coming…
