The National Working Committee (NWC) of the
People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has met with
PDP leaders in the House of Representatives
concerning the defection of the Speaker, Aminu
Tambuwal to the All Progressives Congress
(APC), a statement by the party’s National
Publicity Secretary, Mr Olisah Metuh said.
Mr Metuh said “after a thorough consideration of
the matter, the NWC came to a conclusion that
the Hon. Speaker, as a responsible elected officer,
knows full well what is needful and honourable of
him since his new party is in the minority” he
said.
The statement further adds that “we are not
unmindful of the fact that Hon. Tambuwal
became Speaker on the platform of the PDP as
the political party with the majority of seats in the
House of Representatives and that this
incontrovertible fact has not changed”.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, had
earlier announced his defection to the All
Progressives Congress (APC) from the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP).
He said his defection was because of his political
future and the political consideration of his state,
Sokoto.
Mr Tambuwal defected to the APC on Tuesday
days after a rumour of his defection was denied
by his spokesman, Mr Imam Imam.
After rumours of his defection was published on
different media, Mr Imam denied the claims in a
statement.
