The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal and his new party All Progressive Congress (APC) have filed a suit against the Federal Government and six others over attempt to declare his seat vacant and withdrawal of his security aides.



The suit was filed at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday.

Tambuwal in the suit filed at the registry of the court through his counsel, Jubrin Okutepa asked the court to declare that the attempt to declare his seat vacant as a member and Honorable speaker is unlawful and unconstitutional.

Cited as defendants in the suit are Peoples Democratic Party, its National Chairman, Adamu Mu’azu, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Inspector General of Police, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Attorney General of the Federation AGF as first to seventh.

He asked the court to declare “that he remains a member and the speaker of the House of Representatives until the expiration of his current term of office on June 5, 2015″.

Tambuwal asked the court to declare that withdrawal of his security details when he has not been removed from office as speaker and member of the House was illegal and unconstitutional.

He, however, prayed for an order of perpetual injunction restraining the defendants from taking any steps to interfere or infringe on his rights and privileges as the speaker of the House of Representatives and as a member of the House before the expiration of his term.

He asked the court to give an order of perpetual injunction, restraining INEC from accepting any nomination of candidates or organising a bye-election for the purpose of replacing him.

Tambuwal asked for an order of mandatory injunction compelling the IGP and the AGF to restore his security details and all other rights, benefits and privileges appurtenant to members of/and the office of the Honorable Speaker.

In a separate suit filed by one Dr. Tunji Abayomi on behalf of Tambuwal, Abayomi prays for a temporary order of court directing the return of the security aides of the speaker pending the determination of the suit.

Abayomi prayed the court for an order restraining the defendants from interfering with the rights and privileges whatsoever attached to the office of the speaker, pending the determination of the suit.

Tambuwal is finally getting off his opium high. Reality is now setting in. The federal government and PDP are locked and loaded for you. Anyhow you play this, it will only end bad for you. You people in APC need to get some fucccking common sense in this country.

In his own ward in Sokoto, his PDP ward is organising signatures to send to INEC.
Tambuwal is finished politically and wouldn't be needing security aides, he's no longer a rep but another common man, let him go to court.

Tambuwal should have factored this in his political permutation ..... Hmmm, we viewers are watching in HD as things dey happen .........

His going to court is a waste of time and an exercise in futility.

Lawyers make una chop before he changes his mind

My question is; does nigeria have a costitution or we operate on PDP's Constitution?

Tambuwal need to step down to avoid disgrace

I doff my hat for you Tambuwal , you are very civil , that's the best thing to do , unlike the other people that take laws into their hands . I don't want to be govern like a gangster , someday those of you that is suporting impunity because you are beneffiting from it , think twice ,we have a constitution, we have to follow and respect.if the govt. Can act in this manner to the number 4 man , then be assured that a common man do not have hope.
