With the defection of the Speaker, House of Representatives, Hon Aminu Tambuwal to the APC, it will be strange if the PDP doesn’t ask for his resignation as the Speaker.
It will be recalled that Hon Tambuwal became the speaker on the platform of the PDP, even though he wasn’t the anointed one to head the House. His ascension as the Speaker was allegedly facilitated by his new party, APC, though a member of the PDP then.
Already, the members of the National Working Committee of the party had met with PDP leaders in the House concerning the defection.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Chief Olisa Metuh, disclosed this in an interview with journalists in Abuja.
He said, “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.
“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.”
It was gathered that the party might be pushing for his impeachment if he refused to resign.
