Yes. PDP party leadership did not want Tambuwal. He became a Speakers because majority of members of the house voted for him. Lawmakers from the Opposition and some PDP lawmakers elected him.

That is the reason from day one, the PDP have always believe he in PDP but his heart was in the Opposition.

FYI, the Legislative Arm of Government has it equality with the Executive and Judiciary - each having their responsibilities cut out for them in the constitution. So it is very wrong for the PDP as a Party to be plotting of Remote-Controlling the House from their Hideouts in the Coven.

Coated Lies.

Which APC member came out for nomination and election? House members select from the majority party and elect for themselves. Tambuwal was elected because he is from the PDP.
Speak the truth for once.

egift:
Tambuwal had the support of majority of members, who were bent on torpedoing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) zoning formula, which ceded the post to the South-West geo-political zone, Akande-Adeola (from the South-West).

In that election Tambuwal scored 252 votes to Akande-Adeola’s 90 votes. The total votes cast was 340 with eight invalid votes and one member abstaining. I repeat without the Support of the Opposition Lawmakers teaming up with other PDP members of the House, Tambuwal would not have been Speaker.

You keep avoiding the question? Was any APC member nominated for speakership?

egift:
All the lawmaker who are now in APC all voted for Tambuwal. Keep arguing with yourself.

I like the way you stylishly declined. I must commend you; you are the only person I have engaged from the opposition that brainstorms and responds to the topic without abuses and insults unlike the violent buharists(though the time for real mudslinging will soon come).

You have my respect and I hold you in high esteem.

You keep avoiding the question? Was any APC member nominated for speakership? No, they were in the minority. It was a battle between Tambuwal and Akande(both PDP members). The opposition members of course will vote for their choice from the majority party. In contrast, If not for members of PDP, Tambuwal would not have been the speaker.
APC members is not up to 252.

Bros, you guys are saying the same. PDP want Mulikat to be the speaker but APC teamed up and voted for Tambuwal. Meaning, without APC mulikat(PDP choice) would have been the speaker.

I wonder how people like Femi Aribisala sleep at night after penning this kind of hate laced and biased write up.

I have read a number of his recent articles and notice that as far as he is concerned, the entire evil plaguing Nigeria, stems from Northern Nigeria, the APC and Bola Tinubu. According to him, the PDP is a party of Angels led by Archangel Goodluck Jonathan while the APC is made up of demons championed by the evil super demon called Bola Tinubu.

According to Aribisala, Tambuwal and others that crossed to APC have sold their souls to the devil while Mimiko, Peter Obi, Fani Kayode and the likes that crossed to the PDP found salvation.

Aribisala wants us to believe that Buhari's decision to identify with his people and his religion is a travesty while Goodluck Jonathan's penchant for absolving his people from any wrongdoing before any formal investigation is justified.

Femi Aribisala is a deranged and bigoted hypocrite.

That is why we have majority leader and minority leader. A speaker must come from the majority.

Simple.

If person like me dey for house, we for don get MAJORITY speaker and minority speaker.
