Tambuwal to dump PDP for APC today
A lot of things will happen this 2015 i guess....All is now set for the much-anticipated defection of Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal, Speaker of the Representatives to the All Progressives Congress, APC, from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Vanguard reports that Tambuwal would officially defect to the opposition party from the PDP, today.
The speaker is expected to announce to colleagues during today’s House plenary session that he is leaving the ruling People’s Democratic Party to the main opposition APC, following months of consultation, one of the sources said.
This is not surprising because the speaker was present at a meeting of the APC recently in a northern state.
It was reported that Tambuwal is going to remain as speaker, despite his defection from the ruling party.
If this comes to pass, he will be the first speaker from a minority party and the first non-PDP politician to hold that position since the inception of this dispensation in 1999.
Tambuwal will also emerge as the highest-ranking public officer in APC, based on the National Order of Precedence.
“(The) speaker will formally defect to the APC during the plenary session.”
It was learnt that after announcing his defection today, Tambuwal will immediately adjourn the House till after the conclusion of party primaries in December.
This is to stave off any possible moves to remove him by PDP lawmakers, who have a majority with 189 members to APC’s 159.
“There is no constitutional provision that says he must vacate his seat as speaker after defecting from one political party to another”, a source told the media.
“Neither did the constitution nor the House rules stop him from retaining his seat as speaker if he defects to another political party”, he added.
