DEFECTION: Aminu Tambuwal Lobbies Reps Against Impeachment.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal, is making moves to ensure members of the House of Representatives will not impeach him when he finally defects from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress.

There had been speculations that Tambuwal might defect from the PDP, on which platform he was elected to the House, to the APC.
On Monday, the Speaker attended a meeting of APC members convened by the Sokoto State Governor, Aliyu Wamakko, to discuss the political future of the state.
Tambuwal, however, said he was still consulting and would brief Nigerians very soon on his final decision.
The Office of the Speaker had claimed that a reconciliatory mission of the Board of Trustees of the PDP to Sokoto on Monday did not invite Tambuwal to a meeting of the PDP stakeholders in the state.
The BoT members were said to have been led by the Chairman, Chief Tony Anenih.
A statement by Tambuwal’s Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Imam Imam, stated that the Speaker obliged the invitation by attending the Wamakko meeting.
Tambuwal’s romance with the opposition is said to be puzzling to the Presidency, the representatives and leadership of the PDP.
Findings showed that Tambuwal, who is in the last lap of his consultations on the issue, might likely defect on Thursday this week.
