APC House of Reps Move against Impeachment of Tambuwal As Court Rules in His Favour
Members of the House of Representatives belonging to the All Progressives Congress have threatened to impeach President Goodluck Jonathan over the removal of the security aides of the Speaker, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal.
The legislators said they considered the seizure of the aides an offence by the President as it was done solely because the speaker defected from the People’s Democratic Party to the APC.
The Lawmakers also maintained that no conspiracy can unseat Tambuwal as the Speaker. A Federal High Court in Abuja has ruled that the status quo should remain. The case was filed by APC Lawmakers to prevent the House from sitting before its resumption on December 3. Members of the PDP had threatened to get the required number to form quorum for House sitting ostensibly to impeach the Speaker.
