In fact, an authoritative source revealed on Wednesday night that the case of the Deputy Speaker is already settled because "the cabal" seems to have succeeded in linking him to the Farouk Lawan bribery scandal and the last obstacle now, in the books of the Presidency, is Tambuwal.
President Jonathan and Chief Obasanjo her said to be on the same page in the move to sack Tambuwal because "they see him as too independent and very arrogant", a source revealed. The source told Olufamous.com that Tambuwal is already aware of the plot to sack him and part of his fight-back strategies will certainly play out on the floor of the House of Reps when they reconvene on Friday for an emergency session.
As for the Deputy Speaker, sources say he's almost on his own as it is believed that he kept Tambuwal in the dark in "whatever transaction he had with Farouk Lawan". Also, there are strong indication that the deal to rubbish Farouk and the House was initiated by the Minister of Petroleum, Mrs. Diezani Allison-Madueke as, according to sources, her efforts to make Farouk shift grounds had failed.
Reactions From Two Different Groups:
A group of legal practitioners, under the aegis of Public Interest Lawyers League, have demanded the resignation of the Speaker, Aminu Tambuwal. They also demanded the questioning Mr. Femi Otedola to determine his level of complicity in the saga. President of the group, Abdul Mahmud, said this at a press conference in Abuja.
However, the Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre, CISLAC, has raised the alarm over a plot to use the fuel subsidy bribery scandal to remove Tambuwal. A statement by CISLAC’s Executive Director, Auwal Musa in Abuja alleged that the Presidency and the oil cabal were involved in the plot. It said the two had never been comfortable with Tambuwal’s style of leadership.

And who is Tambuwal that he cannot be removed from seat by GEJ. If he is found culpable of the crime, he must be impeached by the House, no sentiments here.
DeleteIt should not be only the Deputy Speaker, any other person wether Lawmaker or not that is found to have betrayed the trust of Nigerians should be shown the way out and we should sustain the process in future.
ReplyDeleteI just hope members of the House will be wise enough to resist this move and stand behind Mr. Tambuwal because he's the best leader they need.

Let nobody bring in the issue of cabal here & let's not play politics with this issue,if anyone is found guilty of giving or taking bribe,such a person should be made to feel the full weight of the law no matter how highly placed they are.
ReplyDeleteIf Tambuwal is removed which i supposed is in a wrong way,then for Nigeria to see the light of the day is inevitable.The whole members of house of reps.should reject this when it comes up for the sake of greater Nigeria.Tambuwal is the right man for the house leadership unless if he venture to disappoint Nigerians just as Farouk did.God bless Nigeria
ReplyDeleteIf house of reps members allow presidency to use them to remove their elected speaker, it means they are fools and they wil forever remain as fool.
ReplyDeleteMy pple if you cud reflect back to my comments since this ugly scam, u cud get it straight that i've been consistently sayn that for OBJ to be involved in this matter that their only intentions is to destroy that fuel subsidy report and decimate that vibrant House of Reps lk never before headed by Honorable Tambawal. I also, made it clear that its Obj,GEJ, Otedola and other Oil sucking and economy robbers who conspired to destroy FAROUK FOR HIS STANDING and to curtail the emerging social struggles of Nigeria State to maintain the Status quo. PDP, OBJ and Jonathan knows fully well dat wit this trend of things, they will not be able to see who'll finance their 2015 election. Finally, my fellow country men i plead wit us all to b watchful and vigilant. Jerry jentle
