Resign Now! PDP Tells Speaker Tambuwal Over Defection To APC

Speaker Aminu Tambuwal

The Peoples Democratic Party- PDP, has urged the speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, to resign following his official defection to the opposition party All Progressives Congress, APC, on Tuesday.
The PDP said its National Working Committee has met with its leaders in the House of Representatives concerning the defection of the speaker, and after due considerations think it best for him to resign.

“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,” a statement by the party’s publicity secretary, Olisa Metuh, said.

“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.”

Prior to the the announcement of his defection today, the speaker had for many months denied associating with the APC for fear of loosing his position.
