The ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is working behind the scenes to plant one of its members as a new Speaker of the House of Representatives as part of an elaborate plan to undermine the incumbent, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, who recently left the PDP to join the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Three sources at the PDP secretariat and the National Assembly told SaharaReporters that officials at the Presidency as well as hawkish elements within the party were collaborating on a plan to prop up an alternative speaker in order to create an effective revolt against Mr. Tambuwal’s continued role as head of the House.
“The party’s simple majority will just announce a new Speaker and rubbish Aminu Tambuwal,” said one of the sources.
One other source disclosed, however, that many PDP representatives were reluctant to do the bidding of the Presidency, especially after a botched plan hatched by the Presidency to impeach Mr. Tambuwal in a Gestapo-style operation last week. “[The] majority of members are reluctant because of what happened last week, but the Presidency is still insisting that a new Speaker must be installed, no matter the consequences,” said the source.
“There is a directive that Tambuwal must be uprooted from being Speaker because the Presidency knows the implications of allowing him to stay. They are insisting that the PDP members should nominate one of them since they have [a] simple majority in the House. And that they should challenge Tambuwal’s stool since APC has no majority in the House,” one source disclosed.
He added, “Some members are skeptical in view of their relationship with Tambuwal. And some of them are also not satisfied with President Jonathan’s high-handedness, but the PDP is using that to ascertain their loyalty to the party and may threaten them.”
Our sources said there had been a series of meetings between the party and prominent PDP members of the House of Representatives in order to advance the Presidency’s goal of thwarting Mr. Tambuwal’s speakership

Na so e surpose be.

Nigeria's democracy on the brink?

There is no bigger beneficiary of Nigeria's democracy than Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, but he's been fighting tooth and nail to kill it!!

Nigeria will endure and emerge from these very dark and perilous days stronger and better!!

Commonsense will prevail in the end.

God help us.

Exactly he has feed fat with it and now his Desperation is causing him to do things that are wrong.

[b]Obviously that was what they wanted to do on the day tambuwal and his other members had to force theirselves into the house...if they had not jump the fence and forcefully enter into the house then they might have successfully impeach tambuwal and by the time tambuwal would say he wants to take the case to court it would have been late and since we live in a country whereby the president is very desperate and is ready to use his power to oppress democracy by using the nigerian police,the sss,etc.....I voted for GEJ at the last elections but have realized that I made a very big mistake....GOD should punish me if I vote for GEJ on 2015 ...that pig "doyin okupe"was even deceiving himself by saying that GEJ is the best president ever since 1960,can you imagine??no wonder 220,000 us visa applications within a year came from nigerians,nigerians are tired of this country due to the way our wicked and stupid leaders are treating them....MY PEOPLE WOULD I BE WRONG IF I SHOULD SAY OUR "LEADERS DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE MASSES"??if they care will they be treating nigerians this way?GOD will punish them one by one....THIEVES [/b]

Nigeria is about to be overturned

And Presidency thinks the HOR will be peaceful after installing a Speaker against popular wish? I don't think this government knows the implication of this.

2015 budget, among other critical legislative assignments, has not been passed and you are unsettling the NA.

I see many adverts about his accomplishment on TV and I wonder if am in Congo .

Stale gist... We all know this is the plan, and that's the way it will turn out! That I know, we have seen worse cases in Nigeria. He will be impeached and nothing will happen! Activities in the country will still move on.

If PDP feels too uncomfortable with a Speaker from the opposition party, they should simply follow due process to relieve him of the seat.

i am pdp,but am now apc.am still the speaker,but am vying for sokoto state govnor... confused man

PLease Read This and Digest
Prof Tam David West;
"Religion is a personal thing and every man has
the right to choose his own, or practice it the way
he likes. Most of the sycophants that use religion
to defame the character of Buhari are not even
practicing their acclaimed self righteousness. Many
of them are occultists. They kill and conduct daily
human sacrifices to remain in power. Buhari is a
man of integrity and I respect him a lot. But
because majority of those who have looted this
country to poverty are afraid to end up in jail or
loose their ill gotten wealth, they chose to fabricate
lies against Buhari. They hire hungry and morally
corrupted scholars to do the dirty jobs on their
behalf.
It is quite unfortunate that Nigerians buy all the
lies they trade through the media.
This is the only country where people prefer to
believe in a hear say than make a research. Only a
minute population of Nigerians are willing to
investigate an allegation before they draw
conclusions.
Nigerians have resolved to be praise singers to
corrupt leaders. We have failed to ask for
accountability.Our conscience has been beclouded
with religious and ethnic sentiments. Our sense of
judgement and reason have been blinded by
poverty. We chose to mortgage our tomorrow and
the future of our children for the rice and a few
Naira notes they share during elections.
All we believe is the roads, the bridges, the
railways, the electricity they build only on
televisions.
I always ask my self these questions:
1. Where are the roads? The Abuja - Lokoja road
was awarded by Obasanjo's administration.He
spent 8 years in the office. Then Yaradua and
Goodluck spent another 4 years. Now if Goodluck
is elected, he will be spending another 8 years.
This will amount to 20 years and 180 km road is
yet to be completed. Enugu - Onitsha road was
also awarded by the Obasanjo administration and
till date, a journey that is supposed to take 45
minutes can take you 8 hours if it rains. Enugu-
PH road is on the same series. What about Uyo -
Calabar route? Just to mention a few.
2. Where is the power? They sold all the NEPA to
their friends. We pay for the light that was not
supplied.
3. Our education and health system go bad
everyday. Lecturers and Health workers spent more
time at home than in the schools and hospitals as
a result of incessant strikes.
4. The government failed to provide us with
security. People are being killed everyday and yet
government comes out to tell us they are in
control.
4. Why are we pretending that all is well? It is only
in Nigeria where monies develop wings and fly.
$20 billion oil money disappeared and they said it
was $10 billion. Forensic investigators were hired
and that was the end of the story. N20 billion
pension fund stolen and nothing came out of it.
$9.3 million seized in South Africa and government
claimed it was meant for ammunition purchase.
The immigration scandal has also been swept
under the carpet because the senate could not
proceed with their investigation. The man behind
the contract is sitting among the high seats in the
senate.
Innocent people were defrauded and they at the
same time lost their lives yet, we have a
transparent governance.
5. Why are we praising government as if they are
doing whatever with their personal money. How
many people in their various communities have
they provided scholarship with their personal
money before they got elected? The reason they
got elected is to manage our resources and not to
loot us dry. One thing I know is that we will not
have any meaningful development except if we
make a change. Age or no age, Buhari is a better
option for the present day Nigeria"
Please let's think wisely......
I keep telling people it's not GEJ but the cabal that
are in control and 2 do away with that cabal, we
need man of integrity.

Earlier today, our plane landing permission on Markurdi Airport was revoked after we had left Bayelsa state as part of our nationwide delegate consultation tour.
We are not surprised by that action, especially coming from a regime that officialises impunity and political rascality. If there is anything, that action further emboldened us to re-committ every ounce of our energy towards pulling Nigeria back from the abyss.
They may stop us from accessing public facilities, they may denigrate the police force into political thuggery, they may politicise the armed forces and state institutions, but the train of change is unstoppable. There is no stopping us until we snatch away the destiny of this country from the jaws of PDP misrule.
