In a move some legal experts have described as
an abuse of court process, the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), through one Isiaq Abiodun
Akinlade in the House of Representatives, has
approached an Abuja Division of the Federal High
Court to sack Speaker Aminu Waziri Tambuwal from
his position and membership of the House of representatives. The case, which is expected to come up today
before Justice Evoh Chukwu, fellow Ebonyi indigene
and kinsman of the Secretary of the Government of
the Federation, Anyim Pius Anyim, is seeking an ex-
parte order to remove Tambuwal from his seat as
well as to ask the Deputy Speaker, Emeka Ihedioha,
to take over as acting Speaker of the House of
representatives.
The decision to award the case to Justice Chukwu
has raised eyebrows in legal quarters especially
considering the fact that he is well known pro-
government judge known for awarding bogus legal
victories to the PDP in the past.
Some lawyers in the know of the issue said it was
curious that Chukwu will even accept to handle the
matter considering the fact that similar issues are
now before a different judge in the same Abuja
Division of the court.
Mr. Tambuwal has already filed a case in court
seeking protection against moves by the PDP to
declare his seat vacant. Already, Justice Ahmed
Ramat Muhammed has ordered that status quo be
maintained until the determination of the lawsuit
filed by Tambuwal. Having been named defendants
in this case, the party has now instigated one of its
members in the House of Representatives to file
another case seeking reliefs Tambuwal sought to
stop his removal.
A lawyer knowledgeable about Justice Chukwu's
antecedents today said: "The issue of Justice
Chukwu giving favourable judgements to PDP is now
a source of concern to many. You are aware that he
gave judgement against Baraje led-New PDP by
saying there was no faction in the party. This ruling
was contradicted by two respected judges in
Sokoto and Ilorin divisions of the Federal High
Court who held that by the facts before them,
there are indeed factions in PDP.
"By his stand on the Baraje issue, his position on
the availability of faction in PDP is already known.
Speaker Tambuwal defected to APC because he was
convinced there was a faction in Sokoto PDP as per
the ruling of the Sokoto division of the Federal
High Court. Do you think Justice Chukwu is the
right person to hear this application?
Curiously, Akinlade also recently defected from the
APC to the PDP in order to actualize his ambition of
becoming governor of Ogun State on the platform of the PDP. www.saharareporters.com/2014/11/30/pdp-lawmaker-asks-judge-related-pius-anyim-sack-tambuwal-through-back-door

Money go change hand na. Who knows how many millions we are talking about here.

PDP rampaging the hills looking for a way to justify their illegal self-help. They hope that by complicating and confusing things the more, they can pull the rug off the feet of Nigerians.

The day I will see Sowore I will beat him up for bringing undue interference into our judiciary which is the hope of the common man

This stupid akinlade was among the ACN legislators that handed the seat to Tambuwal in 2011....... Now he thinks he has the moral justification to push for his removal, was he sleeping when he voted him in 2011.
Dude wants to be governor of my state. Ogun state is not for desperadoes and cassanovas like him.
