Police to Reinstate Tambuwal’s Security Details
The Nigerian Police Force is due to reinstate the security details of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal.
The security agency will have no choice but to return the speaker’s details due to his election as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Sokoto state.
A member of the force said: “We still believe the Speaker is not entitled to security based on his decision to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party to the APC. The constitution is very clear on that and we are defending our position well in court.
“However, since Tambuwal is now a candidate of a major political party in Sokoto, convention requires that he is protected by the police.
“The Federal Government takes the security of leading candidates very seriously as such we will restore security to Tambuwal and at the same time provide same for all the leading candidates in all states of the Federation.”
