Mr Mike Ozekhome, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), on Thursday called on Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal, Speaker, House of Representatives, to resign for peace to reign in the legislature.

Ozekhome, a constitutional lawyer, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) while reacting to the lawmakers’ fracas which culminated in Thursday’s shut down of the national Assembly.

NAN reports that Senate President David Mark on Thursday announced the suspension of National Assembly plenaries until Tuesday, following the reconvening of House of Representatives.

The lower chamber reconvened on Thursday to discuss President Goodluck Jonathan’s request for the extension of the State of Emergency in the three North-East states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe.

NAN reports that security operatives barricaded the entrance in an attempt to prevent Tambuwal access to the hallowed chamber, leading to a commotion and the fearing of tear gas.

Ozekhome said that the undercurrent of the entire episode was that some lawmakers must have felt that the reconvening of the House would lead to Tambuwal’s impeachment by his opponents.

This, he said, could have informed their desperate attempt to get to the chambers by climbing the National Assembly gate and fence when it was closed against them to forestall the impending fracas.

“My advice is that Tambuwal should honourably and voluntarily resign as Speaker of the House of Representatives in order for peace to reign in the National Assembly.

“Having defected from the political party on which platform he got to the National Assembly and became the Speaker, he should stop his present grandstanding because he cannot have his cake and eat it.

“Whether the courts have declared his seat vacant or not, whether he has been impeached or not, and whether it is constitutional for him to do so or not, he owes a moral obligation to resign now.

Ozekhome said that the Senate President did the right thing by suspending plenary till Tuesday next week so that the tension would calm down.

“The Senate President, by virtue of Section 53 (2) of the Nigerian Constitution, is the Chairman of the National Assembly and so is empowered to regulate the legislature which is bicameral.’’

He condemned the action of lawmakers who climbed the fence to get into the premises of the National Assembly complex.

The senior advocate said that what those lawmakers did smacked of `indecency, indecorum and, above all, very shameful in the eyes of those who elected them and the international community. (NAN)

Tambuwal has suddenly become the problem of Nigeria where Jonathan can flex his muscle,whereas Tompolo a lawless citizen is terrorizing innocent journalists and threatening Nigerians in Delta state and Jonathan is turning a blind eye on the situation?

Time to kick out the Otuoke man from Aso Rock in 2015!!

Would you also say that having sworn to protect and defend Nigeria's sovereignty and failed (even losing territory), that Jonathan has a moral reason to also resign?

Let us be factual - Nigeria too is greater than his own ambition as well

My sister, political allegiances aside, a very dangerous precedent is being set here if Tambuwal does not step down.

Lawlessness is part of the problem and what Tambuwal is trying to do here is simply lawless.

His actions are bringing the second arm of government to disrepute!

I thought precedence is a reference point and valid in stating cases when it comes to law. Mr. SAN, why not ask Mimiko to also resign for the sake of equity.

Several senior lawyers have been calling on the speaker to honourably resign from Agbakoba to now Mike. That shows the speaker must have derailed. Over to the speaker then to do the right things.

Next time the police that will mount the NASS assembly will be a fearsome riot squad that will treat anyone jumping fences as thieves!

Tambuwal wants to take on the state from the wrong side of the law. He will go to jail if he does not take time!

Tambuwal is not a smart politician, first thing first, he ought to have defected long before now when the coast was clear and now calling the bluff off the President when the stand of the constitution does not in any way favoured him.....Tambuwal will learn the hard way just like Amaechi undecided

This man was once a victim of the prevalent insecurity occasioned by the cluelessness of the current administration, when he was kidnapped by jobless youth who were unfortunate not to on the phantom list of 1million jobs provided by this administration. I now wish that they hold the SanTAN and continue feeding the mara4cker garri.
