Plot To Impeach Tambuwa, A Mere Speculation- Imam Imam

The Special assistant to the speaker of the house of representative, Mr Imam Imam has described the plot to impeach Tambuwa by some lawmakers as a mere speculations.

Imam said, as far as the speaker is concerned the impeachment plot was a mere speculation.

“It is pure speculation.You know the Speaker does not react to speculations.That is our position and that is all we have to say,” he added.


On Saturday, the plot to impeach the speaker of the house of representative hit a dead end due to the fact that the two-third statutorily require to remove Tambuwa became more difficult.

The report of the impeachment plan spread on Friday following an allegation by the Baraje’s led faction of the People Democratic Party that the sum of N2.5million has been given to the lawmakers from the Presidency to remove the speaker.

The new People Democratic Party alleged that Aminu Tambuwa’s sin was that he allow Baraje’s faction house of representative on Tuesday to brief the house on the reasons why the nPDP pulled out of the Bamaga Tukur’s faction of the PDP.

The information gathered reveal that, on Friday, some lawmakers in favour of the impeachment held a meeting to strategies on how to carry out the said plot, by getting more members to support the plan since the number of the Honourables loyal to the Tukur-led faction of the People Democratic Party can’t make the require two-third.

According to findings, the new PDP claimed to have 108 members, but officially, the group made up of 57 members, in the All Progressives Congress caucus, there are 137 members in the records of the House, while there are a few members in Accord Party and the All Progressives Grand Alliance members, who opted not to join APC.

Right now, there is confusion on the exact number of PDP members either in the New PDP or in the Old PDP. If the New PDP has 108 as they claim, then there are 100 members left in the Old PDP; if it is 57, the membership of the New PDP is less.

It was also gathered that not everybody in the Old PDP accepted the idea of moving against the Speaker.Two influential members of the Tukur’s-led faction of PDP said that even though they were unhappy with the Speaker’s decision to receive Baraje and the seven governors but the impeachment was not on the table yet, what we want is a united house that can work for the interest of the people as we have been doing in the last two years under the leadership of Aminu Tambuwa.
In his reaction, The Deputy Minority Whip, Mr. Garba Dhatti said, with more than 137 lawmakers on the speaker’s side the impeachment plot can’t succeed.  “Impeaching the Speaker is not as simple as electing the Speaker. To elect the speaker, you need a simple majority, but to impeach him requires two-thirds majority, two-thirds of 360 is 240, where will they get that number from? No single group can impeach the Speaker, that is what we have to realize before we even start talking.

speaking on the matters, the spokesman of the House, Mr. Zakari Mohammed said,  impeaching Tambuwal might be the wish of some forces outside the National Assembly,  stating that the idea would only remain a dream.

“You don’t impeach the Speaker outside the floor, you bring it up in the House.

“This House is united under the leadership of the Speaker; the House is not involved in this talk of impeachment.

“It may be the wish of some people outside, but for us as a House, we are focused on our legislative duties”, Mohammed stated.

How Ilorin Rose Against Saraki With Stones And Chants Of Thief! Thief!!, By Jogbojogbo Abdulrahman

Today, the Muslim Ummah celebrated. Today, in Ilorin, the Eid organisers disappointed and displayed colossal incompetence. Today, Mr. Saraki was humiliated. All around the world, Muslims celebrated and gathered at several Eid grounds to worship. It was no different in Ilorin, home to great Islamic scholars. What was different however, was that for the first time in recent history, the organisation was so bad that many people left without praying. People far off from the Imam could not link up to him as a result of bad/insufficient speakers. The disappointment I felt is the same the man beside me must have felt when shortly before the prayers he was lamenting: “First, they said, we were uneducated, so we went to school. Now that we’ve gone to school, there are no jobs for us. The few that have jobs have not been paid for monthsShortly after the prayers, I noticed commotion. There were water sachets and stones flying in the air – all directed at the direction whe...
