Tambuwal Apologises To Mark Over Assault By House Member by Omooba77: 8:21pm On Nov 22, 2014 |
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal, on Friday tendered an unreserved apology to Senate President, David Mark, over the assault on him by a member of the House when he visited the lower chamber on Thursday.A statement by Senate President's Chief Press Secretary, Paul Mumeh, said the speaker appealed to Mark to pardon the misdeed of Abdul Malik Usman Cheche (PDP, Niger) who reportedly held the Senate president by his shoulders, shaking him vehemently and almost removed his cap when the latter visited the House chamber to calm frayed nerves following the pandemonium that accompanied the invasion of the National Assembly by security forces.The invasion followed attempts by the police to stop Tambuwal from gaining access to the National Assembly as a result of his defection from Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to All Progressives Congress (APC) on October 28.Earlier, Niger State Governor, Dr. Babangida Aliyu, had apologised to Mark over the unruly behaviour of Cheche, promising to discipline him for assaulting the Senate president whom he described as a statesman and former military governor of Niger State.The statement which quoted Mark as saying he had forgiven Cheche for his action, also explained the reason for his visit to the House of Representatives' chamber at the height of the pandemonium which engulfed the National Assembly on Thursday.According to the statement, Mark said he visited the House "to ascertain the safety of Speaker Aminu Tambuwal and his colleagues having received reports that canisters of tear gas were targeted at the lawmakers."The statement added: "I also went to confer with Mr. Speaker on the need to suspend plenary in both chambers in order to restore sanity to an environment that had turned restive and becoming uncontrollable. My intention was to safeguard the sanctity of the hallowed chamber and to guarantee the respect of the legislature. I consider the unwarranted and needless attack on my person by Hon. Abdulmalik Usman Cheche as a price and sacrifice for leadership. It is a sacrifice I am prepared to accept."I was physically stopped at the gate and prevented from accessing the National Assembly complex for about an hour. I was also tear gassed at the lobby of the White House as I made my return from the Green Chamber. In all these, I bear no ill feeling. AbdulMalik is my colleague. I have forgiven him. I believe we can continue to work together in the interest of peace and sustenance of democracy."Like I have repeatedly said, I will do anything necessary to keep the sanctity of the parliament as an institution and safeguard the respect of every legislator. I therefore urge all political actors to always remember that we must first have a nation before we can achieve our various individual ambitions. We must at all times restrain ourselves from actions that cannot add value to our hard earned democracy. We should remain guided by the rules no matter how strongly we perceive our positions to be the most appropriate," Mark said. http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/tambuwal-apologises-to-mark-over-assault-by-house-member/194777/ 1 Like |

We can all see the drama as it unfolds in our eyes and I'm appalled by the comments of some of us. We abuse one another which such impunity as though our lives depend on it. Why then do we the youth fight over nothing? why do we abuse ourselves? why do we expend so much energy and valuable time on politicians who do not care whether you exist or not? If we have so much energy why don't we channel it towards better things? Don't waste your life and time!! Tambuwa, David Mark, Amaechi, GEJ, Tinubu etc all know when and where to sit and pop champagne. Don't forget politics is all about ''INTEREST''. These politicians interest comes first, they don't care about you. 2 Likes |

Good move, though a little bit late. Mark had already done the needful. Story should have been - Tanbuwal hails Mark for his humility and magnanimity. Because, if na Mr Speaker received half of that slap ...walahi, he no go porgib am atol |
