Ihedioha, Muazu, Adoke and PDP – Tambuwal unmasks the faces of his detractors

by Ibrahim Panshak

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, who defected from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress last week, has accused Deputy Speaker, Emeka Ihedioha, the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Adoke, and the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Adamu Mu’azu, of orchestrating the plot to remove him from office.

Tambuwal made the allegation in an affidavit supporting an ex parte application he filed along with the APC at the Federal High Court, Abuja on Monday, 3 November.

In the affidavit which was deposed to by one of his lawyers, Ejura Ochimana, Tambuwal stated that the PDP, Mu’azu, Adoke and Ihedioha, were making clandestine moves to reconvene the House before 3 December in order to remove him as speaker.

He also informed the court that the withdrawal of his security details on 30 October by the Inspector-General of Police, Suleiman Abba, was backed by the trio, who are among the defendants in the suit.

The Speaker and the APC asked the court to restrain the House from reconvening earlier than the stipulated date.

Presiding Justice Ahmed Mohammed, after hearing the application, directed all parties in the suit to maintain the status quo till Friday, 7 November.

In his ruling, Justice Mohammed said the order for the maintenance of the status quo was necessary so as to protect the issue of recovening the House.

He instructed all parties involved in the matter to appear before him on Friday and directed that the defendants be served with the ex parte motion and copies of the enrolled order which he made on Monday.

Mohammed added that the defendants needed to appear in court on Friday to prove why the request made by Tambuwal and the APC should not be granted.
