I have always maintained that someone obviously tampered with the psyche of the PDP guys. They are not smart, not strategic, not logical but represent everything stupid and clueless.

They can't win this battle. APC Own them

BlackPeni5:
The house should be reconvened because an extraordinary event (defection of a serving speaker to a minority party) has occurred.

maestroferddi:
Stop making noises.

Nobody is supporting impunity but I wonder what you expect the PDP to do when Tambuwal decided to take laws into his hands.

You need to show us the propriety of Tambuwal choosing to treat the lower chamber of our legislature like his personal fiefdom.

Can you reverse the scenarios and imagine what the APC could do if a speaker elected under her platform elected to treat his colleagues like impressionable little kids in announcing his defection accompanied immediately by shutting down the house with the drop of the gavel?

The PDP would be daft to pander to Tambuwal's whims and caprices...

arewafederation:


PDP politicians are naturally daft and can only exist in a country filled with clueless People.

Such abuse of power, denigration of the Nigerian constitution by the evil PDP is enough reason for the people to push the out of power.

Only lower animals will see nothing wrong with the actions of the executive in this matter.

thekingsmen:
Let the games begin...... but one thing I theKingsmen know very well is that before this year runs out Amino Tamumuwal must cease to be the speaker. The blacksheep has eaten more grass than he can chew...

dlox147:
Tambuwal's timing was just wrong. And for those shouting, do you think taking the resumption date to dec 3 was a wise move?? cos of his selfish interest you decide to slow the pace of governance in Nigeria?? when we have dwindling oil prices and need to review the budget benchmark if need be, the PIB and other important issue and you guys(tabuwal supporters) choose to to be comfortable with his selfishness...

am vry sure u re frm Arewa people's congress

RedBenson:


I am no supporter of APC or PDP but why is it obvious that once PDP member defects to another party, that person must be under serious war?

atinukedam:

chukwudi44:


There are merely enforcing section 68 of the constitution. Tambuwal is no longer the speaker and is in no position to reconvene the house

tunwumi:
This will dent the bad image of GEJ more as he is seen as anti northerners.

But do we still have a constitution in this nation.
Oh I guess it's PDP 's constitution that they are applying.

This is not a smart move at all for them.

barcanista:


Why is President Jonathan and PDP wasting their time? They have been trying every means to frustrate Tambawal-though Illegally but it ends up vindicating him. I suggest that the APC Reps Institute Impeachment proceedings against Mr. Presdent.
That should shake him off

arewafederation:


Stop being emotional here.

The actions of the speaker can in NO way be described as taking the law into his hands. The speaker did not trample on any part of the constitution. He was only a step ahead of the PDP.

The PDP as the ruling party should pay according to the rules,eventhough we all know it's a lawless party, and not take the laws into their hands. The presidency should not meddle into the affairs of the national assembly. If they want the speaker kicked out, it should be through a legal means.

As it stands, the PDP is telling us the country has no Speaker, and that is ridiculous.

BetaThings:

I really pity this country given the number who think like you
Adadevoh died because she was personally rich but her country is institutionally poor!
How many Americans have died from Ebola?

It took president Jonathan 3 weeks (Jul 20 to Aug 11) to speak out about Ebola and another week later to meet with Govs
On Tambuwal, he has moved within 24hours

Nyanya bomb blast - Jonathan attended a political rally within 24hours
He did nothing on the Immigration employment scam and deaths

omenka:
And he doesn't cease being the speaker I hope you will cease breathing...

Jonathan is a sentimental novice. He'd be taught what real politicking is in this episode.

barcanista:
Am I the only one who is not surprise that this Thread makes it to the FP within few minutes of creation while loads of sensible ProAPC threads are detained in Politics section?

Caseless:
No! U ar wrong. The blacksheep has rather eaten his portion of the grasses , and has decided to join 'cows' in eating theirs. This is how smart animals behave.
This is a war pdp cannot win.

Akingbiz:

You are the bigger fool if you don'nt know. Hear it from me first, if he is a e-rabbit then u are an e-fool. The PDP u support we make u die this year. Say amen. MuMu.

REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND

maestroferddi:
[s] You are not being bright, as it were, here.

A good strategist doesn't win by propaganda but would balance their actions against simulated reactions.

The problem with APC and her supporters is the predilection to repeat basic mistakes. You are up against a leviathan in the form of PDP so why not do your homework before confronting the forces of denudation. How many times have APC started ill-prepared and ill-conceived ideas and processes only to be soundly beaten?

So in your imagination you thought that the PDP was caught unawares by Tambuwal's actions?

So what does the sequence of events since the defection tell you? [/s]
