The broom
revolution hitting the Nigerian political landscape is yet to come to an end. The
negative fortune of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is set to dim
even further as the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Aminu
Tambuwal is set to formally decamp to the leading opposition party in the
country, the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The leadership
of the PDP receives this news as a great shock, because it had earlier in
December had extracted a word of commitment from the House leaders that
member’s defection will no longer be tenable.
National
Mirror gathered that the Sokoto State chapter of the APC has mandated its
Tambuwal Local Government chapter to formally present a membership card to the
Speaker who has been asked by the state Governor, Aliyu Wamakko to formally declare his stand.>>>
It
was gathered, however, that Tambuwal would retain his seat as Speaker due to
the numerical strength of the opposition party as soon as he decamps from the
PDP and join the APC in January.
It
will be recalled that the defection of some members of the House of
Representatives elected on the platform of the ruling party into APC has
brought the number of the federal lawmakers of the opposition party to 172. The
PDP presently has 171.
The
likely defection of Tambuwal will further alter the equation in favour of APC
in the House, with its membership increasing to 173, with PDP coming down to
170.
More
PDP members in the House are also planning to join Tambuwal as soon as he
declares for APC.
A
source in Tambuwal's camp confirmed the move by saying:
"Mr.
Speaker... is set to tap the numerical strength of APC in the House to retain
his seat. The defection of Mr. Speaker is going to alter the political equation
in the House substantially because many other members of the House are likely
to join him to move to APC.
“The
speaker has made up his minds and he has perfected the strategies with the
leaders of APC and he is not likely to go into APC alone as some of his
colleagues in the House have also decided to follow him into the opposition
party."
2014
is going to be the year of real politics...!
