The 57 members of the House of Representatives belonging to the Abubakar Kawu Baraje-led leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, said yesterday that Speaker Aminu Waziri Tambuwal is in their group.

Fifty-seven out of the 205 PDP members in the House had on Tuesday declared support for the faction as they warned anti-graft agencies against harassment and intimidation.

Tambuwal and other principal officers are currently attending the Pan African Parliament, PAP, conference in South Africa.

Though the speaker’s name was not listed among those who signed for the “New PDP,” the Chairman of the House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Zakari Mohammed, said: “Tambuwal is a man of the majority and therefore naturally belongs to the new PDP, which is progressive and responsive.”

Mohammed, who disclosed this in a telephone interview, explained that Tambuwal is a grassroots leader and could not abandon his people and governor who were part of the “revolution” in the party.

He said: “Although I cannot speak for the honourable speaker, I can confirm that he is the people’s speaker; he is the speaker for all and so would naturally flow with the majority. Besides, he cannot abandon his governor in the struggle. He is from Sokoto State and the Governor, Aliyu Wamakko is a prime mover of this PDP, so he cannot be missing in action. But it is left for you to read the writing on the wall.”

Its obvious Tambuwal is part of the 'New PDP' he has been in a very cordial relationship with his state Governor. Will 'GEJ/OLD PDP' ever recover frm this.

Tambuwal which one na? Apc or new pdp. Choose only one please

APC is their destination. They all face eventual suspension from PDP. There is no way for the faction to take control of PDP. INEC does not recorgnize them. They just want to weaken PDP to bare minimum before they move en-mass to APC.
