The attention of the Hon Speaker, House of
Representatives, Rt Hon Aminu Waziri Tambuwal
CFR, has been drawn to publications in the media to
the effect that the Inspector General of Police has
ordered that he, Speaker, be invited to the Force
Headquarters and that he be arrested if he resisted.
The Honorable Speaker wishes to state that he is a
law abiding citizen of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria who has no immunity against arrest and
prosecution except privileges as may be provided
by the Legislative Powers and Privileges Act.
Accordingly , the Hon Speaker states for the records
that he is available, ready and willing to answer any
lawful invitation from any of the Security agencies
on any matter for which they may require his
attention.
The Speaker expresses dismay at the
unprofessional conduct of the Nigerian Police in the
attempt to stop him from accessing the House of
Representatives chambers on the 20th November
2014 to preside over the Special Session of the
House on the State of Emergency Extension
requested by Mr President, for which he had
recalled members from their working recess.
Most disgraceful is the false statement later issued
by the Police in which they claimed that in the
lawful exercise of their duties “ Alh Aminu
Tambuwal CFR, arrived the venue with a motley
crowd,who broke the cordon, assaulted the Police
and evaded due process”. This blatant falsehood
coming from a law enforcement agency, that is
expected to be neutral and lawful, is unfortunate,
to say the least.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Hon Speaker came
to National Assembly accompanied by Hon
Members as is customary during any sitting of the
House. They all came with their official vehicles but
were disallowed from driving into the premises.
Certainly Hon Members, who arrived the precinct of
the National Assembly in response to a call to
perform an urgent, critical national assignment,
cannot be described by any self respecting
institution as “a motley crowd “
It is important to remind the Nigeria Police Force
that as a public institution that provides common
services for all the arms of government, they must
not allow themselves to be used by one of the arms
to undermine the others.

There's always one winner - Jonathan. Check history it's filled with the dead carcasses of those u ve always clapped for...wasn't Nyako one of them? Remember facrook? Governors forum? G5? Aren't they all history.
Others are just queuing up to be served that meal. And they are always deceived to that queue by the sweet aroma and sensation of the clapping few like you.
You guys should stop this excitement and avoid a likely fatal hypertension come 2015 cos d only thing stopping a Jonathan president till 2019 is a no Nigeria...and I hope you'll be okay with that.
You can use this as a collateral.

Yes there's only one winner - Jonathan. And he's no dictator. He's never usurped power the way abacha, babangida and Obasanjo did.
He's only fulfilling the prophecy "as they gather so shall they disperse".
Stop the bitterness, it's not healthy. No Jonathan in 2015 no Unitary Nigeria.

Mr. Speaker, go and report yourself to the security and stop creating scenes and cheap popularity. I've never seen where a man eats his Cake and still have it.
