Jonathan, Obasanjo Move To Sack Tambuwal Over Farouk Bribery Scandal by Zulele: 6:30pm On Jun 14, 2012 |
Nigerians are about to be treated to a tsunami-like political battle between the Presidency, with the backing of ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo and the leadership of the PDP on the one hand, and Speaker Aminu Tambuwal with his deputy, Emeka Ihedioha on the other. 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 have said to be on the same page in the move to sack Tambuwal because "they see him as too independent and very arrogant" 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. |

The truth remains that the cabals have succeeded in killing the fuel subsidy report. I blame Farcrook whom we thought was incorruptible. The whole report now is as worthless as zimbabwean dollar. 1 Like |

Its the way Nigerians keep shooting ourselves in the foot. There is nothing more important at this time than learning the Nigerian political terrain and exactly where you stand in it. It is of life and death importance; for the sake of your kids and mine too. Everything in Nigeria is an eye opener. |

Sorry to burst your bubble, but in siding with Farouk, you sided with the oil cabals. Its the way Nigerians keep shooting ourselves in the foot. @beaf, as long as you have a corrupt head of state, no prayer, no fasting and miracle will change the story line to the last authority. jonathan is an agent of corruption and that is why under his rulership, no single politician is serving any form of jail term. he has a wife whose case file with efcc is still pending and as such, he lacks the moral standard to move against ppl like his own wife. what did jonathan do as the gov of bayelsa state? how did jonathan and yar adua came into power that pushed jonathan into where he is today? how did jonathan spend during the elections and who did jega account to? tambuwa and farook may look like criminals to every nigerian apart from me. they are just been like other politician especially those in pdp. is any of us expecting them to go to jail? bankole and a long list of other criminals were declared innocent by our law courts as directed by the presidency and thereby legalising looting. i feel sad whenever nigerians gather here to celebrate these criminals. within the next ten day, they will bring up another story just to divert our attentions. at the end of the day, we keep coming close to something. gaddaffi's body was displayed on a table but i know the day nigerians stand up against these men, God will forgive us because we will roast and eat their fleshes. |
