PDP Reps Under Fire from Party, Presidency for not Removing Tambuwal as Planned

Members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the House of Representatives, are under fire from the Party and the Presidency for not delivering on the plan to remove Tambuwal on Thursday.

According to a source, the strategy was to hijack the plenary after the Speaker might have been prevented from gaining access into the National Assembly by the Police who were deployed by the Inspector General of Police for that purpose.

Trusted lawmakers from the PDP, with no allegiance to the Speaker, would then seize the House, and impeach the Speaker. The police would provide them cover and the Presidency would grant immediate recognition to the new Speaker, who naturally would have been the Deputy Speaker.

However, the plan was thwarted by the vigilance of the opposition lawmakers, who smuggled Tambuwal into the Chamber, where he took charge of proceedings before the PDP lawmakers could act.
