Defection: PDP Demands Tambuwal's Resignation - Politics - Wabsodlink

The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party is pushing for the resignation of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mallam Aminu Tambuwal over his defection to the APC. Already, the members of the National Working Committee of the party had met with PDP leaders in the House concerning the defection. The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Chief Olisa Metuh, disclosed this in an interview with journalists in Abuja. He 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. “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.” It was gathered that the party might be pushing for his impeachment if he refused to resign. www.punchng.com/news/pdp-seeks-tambuwals-resignation/
