The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, on Tuesday dared the Peoples Democratic Party by paying a working visit to the National Assembly complex in Abuja.
Tambuwal who announced his defection to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC), at the floor of the House last week has been asked to resign as speaker by the Peoples Democratic Party.
Aside stripping him of his security details, the PDP were said t be making moves to reconvene the house and impeached the speaker, but a Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday directed that the status quo in the House be maintained till Friday.
Ostensibly buoyed by the court ruling, the Speaker stormed the National Assembly Complex in his official Range Rover SUV which he personally drove without security personnel.
He was however was shielded to the venues of the sittings by APC lawmakers led by the Chairman, House Committee on Education, Aminu Suleiman.
One of the meetings he declared open was a hearing by the Committee on Public Accounts on a “Bill for an Act to Repeal the Audit Act of 1956 and to Re-Enact the Audit Act of 2010…”
Tambuwal declined to speak with journalists as he was quickly shielded back to his car by the APC members after the ceremonies.
