Breaking! Speaker Aminu Tambuwal Dumps PDP For APC by plucky16(m): 12:06pm On Dec 30, 2013
The negative fortune of the ruling Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, is set to deem even
further as the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Rt. Hon. Aminu Tambuwal is
set to formally decamp to the leading opposition
party in the country, the All Progressives
Congress, APC.
The Speaker’s decision came as a shock to the
leadership of PDP, who earlier in December
had extracted a word of commitment from the
House leaders that member’s defection will no
longer be tenable.
National Mirror gathered that the Sokoto State
chapter of the APC has mandated its
Tambuwal Local Government chapter to
formally present a membership card to the
Speaker who has been asked by the state
Governor, Aliyu Wamakko to formally declare
his stand.
It was gathered, however, that Tambuwal
would retain his seat as Speaker due to the
numerical strength of the opposition party as
soon as he decamps from the PDP and join the
APC in January.
It will be recalled that the defection of some
members of the House of Representatives
elected on the platform of the ruling party into
APC has brought the number of the federal
lawmakers of the opposition party to 172. The
PDP presently has 171.
The likely defection of Tambuwal will further
alter the equation in favour of APC in the
House, with its membership increasing to 173,
with PDP coming down to 170.
More PDP members in the House are also
planning to join Tambuwal as soon as he
declares for APC.
A source in Tambuwal’s camp confirmed the
move by saying:
“Mr. Speaker… is set to tap the numerical
strength of APC in the House to retain his seat.
The defection of Mr. Speaker is going to alter
the political equation in the House
substantially because many other members of
the House are likely to join him to move to
APC.
“The speaker has made up his minds and he
has perfected the strategies with the leaders
of APC and he is not likely to go into APC alone
as some of his colleagues in the House have
also decided to follow him into the opposition
party.”

I don't think he will be a major loss to GEJ's camp. His romance with opposition is well documented.

You are probably right but my premise is, how's the daft shoeless one going to win election in 2015?

The retard.ee has fallen like humty dumpty and all the kingsmen SE votes and SS votes won't save him, in 2015.

let him enter the APC first , that is when he will understand that he has entered 1 chance.

THE LAW IS VERY CLEAR, THEIR SEATS WILL DEFINITIELY BE DECLARED VACANT. MY ONLY PROBLEM IS OUR SLOW JUDICIAL PROCESS. BEING ANGRY WITH PARTY LEADERS DOES NOT MEAN THE PARTY IS FACTIONALIZED IN THE EYS OF THE LAW.

People forget that the decamping has been happening during the festive season and PDP can only wait for the holiday to finish before they respond.

Anybody who believes their will be no consequences for decamping will believe anything

The law will run its full course when the time comes

Tambuwal is well within his right to join any party he likes but must relinquish the mandate of his former party in doing so.

The law is clear on this.

Pls, go to 1999 constitution as amended and copy out conditions under which their seats can be declared vacant.
I want to discuss that with you.
If not, I will take you for an ignorant fellow.

Why not start by telling me why they will retain their seats after defection when clearly the mandate is a party mandate. Please don't quote the usual lame line that PDP has benefited from this defections in the past. Go straight to the man issue.
