It was an atmosphere of jubilation as well as
mourning on the floor of the House of
Representatives today as the Speaker, Aminu
Tambuwal declared for the All Progressives party,
APC.
At exactly 12:24pm Tambuwal In a short speech at
the end of plenary, said he was defecting to the APC
for political reasons adding that the yearning of his
people in Sokoto State necessitates the decision.
This puts to rest the avalanche of speculations on if
or when he would defect. Some members of the
PDP were in tears yesterday as Tambuwal
declared.
However, the APC Caucus in the House led by Femi
Gbajabiamila said they would be stimulated into
doing more by Tambuwal’s defection, adding that
nothing has changed in the House as all members
would work together for the advancement of the
Parliament and greater good if the Nigerian people.
