PDP Lawmaker Asks Judge Related To Pius Anyim To Sack Tambuwal Through The Back by viczing(m): 4:08pm On Dec 01, 2014
I n 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
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal
.
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.

Now I can conclude those in our government do not have our interest ay heart. Despite the incessant killings in the country, these guys have never say to delineate what could be done to put an end to the insecurity instead, most of them are only concerned about their selfish interest only.

Hmm, the Judge Maternal grandmother was Goodluck Jonathan grandfather's girlfriend in primary school, his paternal grandmother actually almost married Sambo's grandfather. in short the Judge is suspected to hold dual indigeneship, apart from being from Ebonyi, he is also suspected to be from Bayelsa!
