PDP SET TO IMPOSE PARALLEL SPEAKER ON TAMBUWAL!

The ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is working behind the scenes to plant one of its members as a new Speaker of the House of Representatives as part of an elaborate plan to undermine the incumbent, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, who recently left the PDP to join the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Three sources at the PDP secretariat and the National Assembly told SaharaReporters that officials at the Presidency as well as hawkish elements within the party were collaborating on a plan to prop up an alternative speaker in order to create an effective revolt against Mr. Tambuwal’s continued role as head of the House.

“The party’s simple majority will just announce a new Speaker and rubbish Aminu Tambuwal,” said one of the sources.

One other source disclosed, however, that many PDP representatives were reluctant to do the bidding of the Presidency, especially after a botched plan hatched by the Presidency to impeach Mr. Tambuwal in a Gestapo-style operation last week. “[The] majority of members are reluctant because of what happened last week, but the Presidency is still insisting that a new Speaker must be installed, no matter the consequences,” said the source.

“There is a directive that Tambuwal must be uprooted from being Speaker because the Presidency knows the implications of allowing him to stay. They are insisting that the PDP members should nominate one of them since they have [a] simple majority in the House. And that they should challenge Tambuwal’s stool since APC has no majority in the House,” one source disclosed.

He added, “Some members are skeptical in view of their relationship with Tambuwal. And some of them are also not satisfied with President Jonathan’s high-handedness, but the PDP is using that to ascertain their loyalty to the party and may threaten them.”

Our sources said there had been a series of meetings between the party and prominent PDP members of the House of Representatives in order to advance the Presidency’s goal of thwarting Mr. Tambuwal’s speakership.

AT 70, NIGERIANS DEMAND ALTERNATIVE TO BUHARI!

As an intro, a section of Nigerian youths postulate that if push comes to shove and bearing in mind that PDP shakes whenever Tambuwal sneezes, APC should consider Hon Tambuwal/Amaechi/Fashola, the speaker of the House of Representatives as its compromise candidate for the presidency and forget the Buhari/Atiku perennial penchant for the presidential slot. 

Posterity will not forgive the board of trustees of APC and its rigid egoistic leaders if they fail to bury ego, sentiment and personal animosity towards fielding formidable candidates to rescue power from the griping shackles of the present government of President Goodluck Jonathan. 

Now is the time and period the opposition needs to get closer and capitalise on the low ratings both at home and internationally of the present administration.

Seemingly, as good as Buhari is, credible and experienced but the present dictates goes beyond the ephemeral and paraphernalia of semantics of integrity, these attributes are not cast in stone in any individual, it is innate in everyone waiting to be discovered. not a royal title, so to say. 


Pundits respect General Buhari for his integrity but his obsession with wanting to be president is misplaced. He is seventy plus in age, contested thrice to no success, this will be his fourth attempt, being a past military leader.

Buhari's penchant and desire is seen more as an indictment of him, of his complicity in the failure that Nigeria has turned out to be. Great leaders build institutions that outlive them. Buhari should build a credible political party that will in the future produce credible leaders for this country and not incessantly obsess over becoming a president. This idea that if I am not the one who does it, no one else can must stop. Granted that Buhari did well when he was in charge, that was almost thirty years ago. The world has moved on. There is therefore an urgent need for regeneration. Enough of the recycled elders. APC MUST ACT NOW!

A Federal High Court in Abuja presided over by Justice Adeniyi Ademola has issued an order stopping the House of Representatives from changing its leadership pending the determination of a suit filed by the leadership of the embattled Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) seeking to block the move.

Justice Ademola further ordered the leadership of the House to maintain
the status quo until further notice.

The ruling frustrates moves by the opposition APC to take over the leadership of the House following the defection of about 37 members of the PDP to it which gave it majority in the House.
