The former chairman of the Imo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Marshal Okafor Anyawu, has said it would be difficult for the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, to withstand the plan by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to remove him from the House.
Anyanwu, who spoke to Daily Independent on Monday, believes the Speaker is no longer fit to occupy the position, after dumping the party through which he won election to the National Assembly.
“The new Electoral Act clearly states the conditions that can allow one to move from one party to the other, and I don’t think that situation existed at the time the Speaker decided to move from PDP to APC,” he said.
Anyanwu added that Tambuwal’s decision to move to the opposition party did not come to him as surprise because the Speaker has been very close to opposition party leaders for a long time now.
“I am surprised that the defection of the Speaker came to some people in the PDP as surprise because his body language has been speaking differently for a long time,” he said.

Its getting hotter

People who bite d finger that feeds them and still go ahead to lie against that finger and seek for itz ultimate death are evil minded people. Fear them, deal with them wid a long spoon...woe unto the followers, if that person is a leader.

Oga, that shiit is only valid in some aspects of life. No loyalty in politics. Gej was tactically made by OBJ and even he knows it but what has he done to OBJ?

Until then, Tambuwa still remain our speaker. Enemies have the right to die if that is their choice.

PDP do not have the votes. That is why they are using Self-Help. BTW, it is easier to remove Ihedioha from all leadership position than Tambuwal.

Tambuwal has less than 2 months to be the house before heading back home to contest the Governorship position in Sokoto. The current fight now is to protect Nigeria's House of Reps to become another stooge of PDP and be remotely controlled by any Political Party. Every well-meaning Nigerian will support Tambuwal to ensure the Integrity/Independence of the Legislative Arm of Government.

Have you ever stopped to listen to yourself? I doubt it. When Tambuwal was with us he wasn't a progressive suddenly after decamping you fight for the integrity of the legislature. Be true to yourself, if every Nigerian especially those shallow minded once who can't think for themselves read this and agreed with you then you are doing your country a great disservice. The constitution is clear. Let's call a spade a spade and stop lying to ourselves. Anybody who cross carpets should resign. Apart from being the right thing to do it is also the bane of political correctness and shows integrity. Tambuwal would have become my hero even with the opposition camp if he had resigned but his body language now just shows all he wants is to keep himself in an ill-gotten position.

Can you post any decision of Tambuwal that is a wrong legislative move since he has been Speaker. He is accepted across political parties. He was elected Speaker by a combined votes of members of the opposition and some of the PDP members in the House against the wishes of PDP and their anointed candidate. Tell us where I have ever said a word against Tambuwal even in PDP?

The fact remains that PDP want to pulling the strings of the House of Representatives and remote-control what they do and how they do it. Tambuwal must not be disgraced out, else every other Speaker that comes after him will be a redundant stooge of his political party.

Who becomes the Speaker MUST remain a decision of the House. Save the House of Representatives from Political Parties.

Tambuwal oti lo

this country is diverse ethnically and an agreement cme about that the speakership should come to the south west, tambuwal and his northern cohorts hijcked it with their born to rule mentality and fraudulently obtained seats through cencus rigging, it is a known fact that the land mass is what the north enjoys and not the people to populate it.m that aside, I still stand my ground he should resign. Who is the head of the house? Aand who is most obliged to follow the rules? Tambuwal knows what he did is wrong. I will respect him for doing the honourable thing. That is my stance not who controls the house. It is a known fact tht most legislatures are governed or remote controlled as you saidbythe party in power. Shikena.

who protected Mr. Intergreedy Faruk Lawan?
And swore to shut down the government if the police arrest him?
If you do not know it, tambuwal shared the bribe money with Faruk lawan mr intergreedy!

The case of Faruk is just a tip of Jonathan's degraded failure in embracing corruption. If Jonathan is interested in fighting crime, there are legal process already in place. But having the police to ambush Faruk and bundle him into a van is not part of it.

And before you "Faruk" the main topic here, don't forget that it was Jonathan's administration that engineered and protected Otedola for implicate the Greedy/Corrupt Faruk (a PDP member) in the nation's quest to unravel how deep Jonathan's administration and Oil Marketers have defrauded Nigeria.

Since the Fall of Faruk, what has happen to the findings of the President's committee on Subsidy? How about Ribadu's report, NNPC audits, Ministry of Finance inability to reconcile all the figures, Alison's part of the scam, how many of the oil marketer are in jail for defrauding Nigeria, what of the Forensic Audits?

And in case you still want to uphold your virtues or you are persecuted for not compromising and help in looting, here is Jonathan's word of encouragement - Stealing Is Not Corruption

what is all this you have written here?
is faruk not mr. intergreedy tambuwal's right hand man?
was it not faruk that appointed him chairman of the committee to extort money from people like otedola?
did tambuwal not share the money from the extortion committee?

After your inability to implicate Tambuwal of any wrong doing as a Speaker of the House, you have resorted to sentiments and name calling. Read through the bold text in your comment and see the contradictions and how appalling your comment is.

Nigeria can be better if Institutions of Government are effective. I have no problem where the Speaker comes from, but let the House discharge their duties as an Arm of Government as provided by law and not a subsidiary some group of cabals. It is wrong to advocate that Loyalty of Lawmakers should be to their Political Parties and not the Constituents they represent.

This "he was elected under a different party, therefore must resign" line is getting too damn boring. Where were the proponents of this when people were cross carpeting left, right, and center in the National Assembly and the various states??

Mcheeew.

You are deliberately deviating from the issue (I understand your plight). Fact is I have made my points and you too have. Let's leave it there.

@Topic:
Tambuwal will not be impeached. His fate like others who decamped (from one party to the other) will be determined by the court. In the next 2 months, he will be leaving the House to pursue his Governorship aspiration - But as a Nation, members of the house must be responsible to their constituents and not enslaved to their political parties.

Being the House of Reps is a call to serve the people and not an investment opportunities for Political parties.

Tambuwal should resign

you are a paid hounddog so how will you have a problem where he is from? I stated we. Are diverse and you said I contradicted myself. That diversity is the reason the speakership should come to the south west. Our democracy is to young and full of mistrust for us not to ensure at least each majority is represented. I am sure your allegiance to Apc will make you so blind about it. Try going to the North and demand to be made a village head if you aren't from there, same goes for the house to achieve a balance the positions have always been shared but that aside are you saying by defecting Tambuwal did nothing wrong? Pls let me know your stand so as to determine if you are worth conversing with
