My brother, PDP is symnonymous with failure and hence it is easy to decipher the kind of people supporting them.

They hold on to straw to keep from drowning.

Court Refuses PDP's Application to
Remove Tambuwal as Speaker. Guy check this day for the latest.

In simple English;

Court Refuses PDP's Application to Remove Tambuwal as Speaker

An attempt by the Peoples Democratic Party to surreptitiously remove the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, through an ex parte application has. failed as the trial judge, Justice Ahmed Mohammed, ordered the party to put the Speaker on notice.

The court turned down the party's request for an ex parte order to compel Tambuwal to vacate his seat as Speaker of the House of Representatives following his defection from the majority party (PDP).

PDP's counsel, Chief Mike Ahamba (SAN), who argued the application, said Tambuwal had lost his seat by reason of his defection, according to the provisions of section 68 of the 1999 constitution.

The party joined the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal and the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha, as respondents in the motion.

It urged the court to order Tambuwal to give effect to the provisions of section 68(1)(g) of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) to declare his seat at the House of Representatives vacant.

PDP also prayed the court for an alternative order directing the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives to declare the Kebbe/Tambuwal seat vacant by an order of mandamus.

Also in the ex parte motion, PDP asked the court to stop Tambuwal from performing or continuing to perform the function of the Speaker in the House of Representatives, or sitting or continuing to sit in the House as a member.

TambAWOL has finally gone AWOL for life! Indeed the law has long arms. It was only a matter of time but he sure had this coming when he defected from the party that elected him into being speaker without any division in the party. In tambAWOL attempt to please his political godfathers and side with the opposition, he let his sentiments becloud his reasoning.

What is getting us excited is that PDP is now making a move which gives Tambuwal no loopholes to exploit

The courts can only come to one conclusion as section 68 is very clear on this matter

that's why we are all excited. Tambuwal can now come to Abuja and defend the existence of his "made-up" local crisis in Sokoto

Don't know the reason for the happiness of some PDP supporters here. To serve a notice simply mean the pdp should go and inform tambuwal to come and defend himself and not an ORDER to vacate the seat.

Comprehension seems a deficient quantity alien to most poster on this thread.
The worse thing that can happen to a student in an examination is to misinterprete a question. If this were to be an examination, the PDP e-rats on the first page would have failed.

An order of mandamus is a writ of summon which command an individual or entity to carry out an instruction or action.

The judge gave an order to the PDP to summon tambuwal to come defend why he should still remain speaker since he has defected.

It is not an EvICTiON or disqualification order from being a member of the house not to talk of him stepping down as speaker.




But you and I know that based on our constitution, Tambuwal has no right to remain as a member of the house. So, he's as good as gone.

Nope. That is for removal of a speaker. The constitution states that a house member automatically loses his seat if he defects during d period in which he was elected, when there is no division or merger etc of the party in which he was elected. So on that ground, Tambuwal will lose his seat as a member of the house. If he ceases to be a house member, can he remain the speaker?

Section 68 of the Nigerian constitution. Take note of sub section 1g:

68. (1) A member of the Senate or of the
House of Representatives shall vacate his
seat in the House of which he is a
member if -

(a) he becomes a member of another
legislative house.

(b) any other circumstances arise that, if
he were not a member of the Senate or
the House of Representatives, would
cause him to be disqualified for election
as a member;

(c) he ceases to be a citizen of Nigeria;

(d) he becomes President, Vice-President,
Governor, Deputy Governor or a Minister
of the Government of the Federation or a
Commissioner of the Government of a
State or a Special Adviser.

(e) save as otherwise prescribed by this
Constitution, he becomes a member of a
commission or other body established by
this Constitution or by any other law.

(f) without just cause he is absent from
meetings of the House of which he is a
member for a period amounting in the
aggregate to more than one-third of the
total number of days during which the
House meets in any one year;

(g) being a person whose election to the
House was sponsored by a political party,
he becomes a member of another political
party before the expiration of the period
for which that House was elected;
Provided that his membership of the
latter political party is not as a result of a
division in the political party of which he
was previously a member or of a merger
of two or more political parties or
factions by one of which he was
previously sponsored; or

(h) the President of the Senate or, as the
case may be, the Speaker of the House of
Representatives receives a certificate
under the hand of the Chairman of the
Independent National Electoral
Commission stating that the provisions of
section 69 of this Constitution have been
complied with in respect of the recall of
that member.

So what does that tell you? Is it not what I tried explaining?

The part of constitution you are referring to talks about removal of a speaker or his deputy. I'm talking about membership of the house itself. If a speaker loses his right of remaining a member of the House, can he still remain a speaker? Nobody is arguing about the procedure of impeachment of a speaker here.

Tambuwal is a lawyer, yes. But he broke the constitution, simply because others have been doing it and getting away with it, so he felt he could also do it and get away with it. He may still get away with it finally, but his move was unconstitutional.

If you're not willing to make proper research before writing, then don't quote me again.
