PDP Tells Tambuwal To Resign
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has urged the speaker
of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, to leave
office after Mr. Tambuwal officially announced his defection
from the party to All Progressives Congress, APC, Tuesday.
Mr. Tambuwal decamped after months of speculation. He
had previously denied he was moving to the APC despite
openly associating with the party.
The clearest indication he was joining the opposition party
came more than a week ago when he attended a meeting of
the APC in Sokoto State.
He said the state governor, Aliyu Wammako, had invited him
for the meeting after he was snubbed by a visiting PDP
delegation to the state, led by Tony Anenih, the Board of
Trustees chairman.
His months of denial is believed to have been informed by
his concerns about losing his position as the speaker.
The PDP said its National Working Committee has met with
its leaders in the House of Representatives concerning the
defection of the speaker, and after due considerations.
It said the speaker should do what is honourable since his
new party is in the minority.
“After a thorough consideration of the matter, the NWC
came to a conclusion that the Hon. Speaker, as a responsible
elected officer, knows full well what is needful and
honourable of him since his new party is in the minority,” a
statement by the party’s publicity secretary, Olisa Metuh,
said.
“We are not unmindful of the fact that Hon. Tambuwal
became Speaker on the platform of the PDP as the political
party with the majority of seats in the House of
Representatives and that this incontrovertible fact has not
changed.”
