The Force Public Relations Officer, Emmanuel Ojukwu, in a statement on Thursday in Abuja, hinged the withdrawal of Tambuwal’s security aides on Section 68(1)(g) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended.

Statement reads, “In view of the recent defection by the Right Hon. Aminu Waziri Tanbuwal, CFR, the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, from the People Democratic Party to the All Progressive Congress and having regard to the clear provision of section 68(1)(g) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended, the Nigeria Police Force, has redeployed its personnel attached to his office.”

(The reason is because) Aminu Tambuwal is no longer the speaker of the federal house of reps as per section 68 of the 1999 constitution. All hail the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria. Anyone dissatisfied with this can go to court. Congratulations to Emeka Ihedioha, the new speaker of the house of reps

The IGP is simply abiding by the dictates of the 1999 constitution.he is enforcing the law he swore to uphold,s it is very much in order

Section 68. 1 (g) being a person whose election to the House was sponsored by a political party, he becomes a member of another political party before the expiration of the period for which that House was elected;

Provided that his membership of the latter political party is not as a result of a division in the political party of which he was previously a member or of a merger of two or more political parties or factions by one of which he was previously sponsored;

Mr I.G u made reference 2 a section of the constitution without quoting wat it says as regards the withdrawal of the speaker's security detail. That reeks of shadiness

I love this country's politics. When u don't suit your purpose, you're ex. I just wish this country will get new set of leaders and not the ones defecting from PDP to APC or APC defecting to PDP. Recycling same old thieves that have been looting this country dry since the inception of demoCRAZY. God help us.

Shebi na 9ja be dis? Reasons d 4 everything na.
Team GEJ till 2019.
.
*****EDITED*****
Ok! Tambuwal u don hear am na, our Constitution don talk am. Oya all those security mek una run go Emeka Ihedioha side

really?

This is bullshit

Tambuwal should be honourable enough to resign
his position as d speaker which he became by d
grace of being a member of PDP.only members of
d majority parties are elected speakers of their
houses.tambuwal can not bring the treachery and
mischief of APC axis of evil to d national
Assembly .if he failed to resign voluntarily, he must
resign by d force of law and constitution of d
federal republic of Nigeria. tambuwal is a
treacherous mischief laddened traitor and must be
given the traitors reception.




Long llive FRN...

#GEJ till 2019..........PDP tiLl jesus come




#Quate me and DIE miserably like IBB is d*****ying

Good move!

Hmmmm! Is this a mere conspiracy or a constitutional legal right?

Nonsense!!! Arrant Nonsense,
This IGP is just taking laws into his hand,,has the house impeached himhas the court declared his seat vacant,,,why can't the same thing be done to Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo who recently decamped to PDP.
One of the reason I don't like this PDP's government.
GEJ was my candidate in 2011,,time to correct my mistake.
Btw,wat does the constitution quoted says,,,the second paragraph gives room to decamp bt only on the ground that there is conflict or faction in d party.
Presently in sokoto there is faction in PDP,,,so why is the IGP taking laws into his own hands?

are u serious? How consistent has the I.G been in seeing to it that this law is abided by in the house of reps? U would agree with me that this assembly has witnessed more cross carpeting than any other in the history of nigeria without anyone loosing his/her sit. The I.G has succeeded in casting a could over his person so early with this ridiculous move

You want to eat ur cake and have it abi Mr tambuwal.. See let me tell u defecting from the PDP to APC is like taking 5 steps backwards ask amaechi d moment he defected he became el rufai's driver... A word is enough for the wise








PS: APC e-rats/rodents quote me make thunder fire una

Hmmmm! Is this a mere conspiracy or is it constitutionally right?

This is what happens when you have an acting Inspector General of police. He is loyal to the ruling party rather than the nation.

and this crap made fb..i think nairaland is in the hands of the pdp and the satanic group.

Why would they withdraw his Security?! Anyways, withdrawing his security doesn't mean anything, after all they once withdrew Amaechi's security. That doesn't still change the fact that PDP is a sinking ship and that Jonathan is going back to Otuoke come 2015.

BTW, who's the lazy fellow that moved this hocus pocus to the Homepage?! I read through the write-up, but never saw anything like “He's no longer the Speaker” in the source the OP provided. Instead of banning the OP for misleading Nigerians, the nitwit rewarded the OP by moving his stale thread to the homepage!

Observing

Thats good to know that his security details has been withdrawn. He is no longer the speaker!!!

Issokay

Funny ao its right when its PDP bt wrong when its APC.....
Shameless pple

Nitwit you are

Does the IG has the power to withdrawal security aid?

......Good development and genuine reason..

Good development

ok but

The function of the Police is not to interpret the provisions of the Constitution, that is the exclusive preserve of the Judiciary.
That said the section which the Forces Public Relations officer quoted has to do with Tambuwal's eligibility as a legislator which is a matter currently before the courts.

In the eyes of the law Tambuwal is the substantive speaker of the house until he has been removed in accordance with the provisions of the CFR as amended.

However if PDP is confident that they control the votes of the house, let the Deputy Speaker Emeka Ihedioha reconvene the house; (3/4) members need to sign the notice of extra - ordinary meeting and 2/3 majority is needed to form a qurom. And formally commence impeachment proceedings against the Speaker.

PDP knows it can't muster the needed votes so they have resorted to self help which is equivalent to Jungle justice.

GEJ till 2015
GMB till 2019...
