100 Lawmakers Ready To Be Arrested With Tambuwal – Rep by izu777: 7:52am On Nov 24, 2014
Despite repeated denial by the police authorities of having any intention of arresting the Speaker of the House, Aminu Tambuwal, the opposition party House members have continued stoking the fire of controversy trailing the alleged arrest plan.

The Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Justice, Dr. Ali Ahmad, on Sunday warned the police against any attempt to arrest the Speaker of the House, Aminu Tambuwal.

Ahmad said 100 members of the House would be ready to be arrested alongside Tambuwal.

He said, “If anybody is planning to arrest Mr. Speaker, they should be ready to arrest over 100 legislators. We would follow him to the prison. If they won’t open the prison door, we would break it and go inside.

“If they are arresting the Speaker, they should be prepared; we would all go in there. If they have shackles, they should go and buy more.

The lawmaker representing Ilorin East and South Federal Constituency said the invasion of the National Assembly complex by the police last Thursday was illegal and urged the police to follow the Constitution in the discharge of their functions and avoid being manipulated by the executive.

He spoke in an interview with journalists in Ilorin, Kwara State, while inaugurating the vocational centre of the University of Ilorin Students’ Union, equipped by him.

He also said the police should be careful and avoid being used to perpetrate unconstitutional acts in the crisis in the Ekiti State House of Assembly.

He said the rating of President Goodluck Jonathan had dipped as a result of the victimisation of Tambuwal, the police onslaught on the National Assembly and the crisis in the Ekiti legislature.

He stressed, “We would do anything for Nigeria’s democracy not to be sacrificed on the altar of somebody’s personal ego. Nigeria is a constitutional country and is a government that is being governed by constitution.

“It’s not a kingdom; you cannot just wake up and say you want somebody to disappear. No, you are there because of the constitution; you will continue to be there because of the constitution and when you leave, you leave because of the constitution.
