I Won't Quit PDP....Tambuwal

The Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives, Honorable Aminu Tambuwal, on Friday dispelled rumors that he was on the verge of joining an opposition party.
Apparently reacting to President Jonathan Goodluck Jonathan’s warning to elected political office holders under the platform of the party Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that he would not hesitate to wield the big stick if they are found wanting, the Speaker said he is a member of the party.
President Jonathan, according to reports warned that the “new PDP” would not condone indiscipline among its members, after accusing some of the leading lights of openly fraternizing with the opposition.
“In a situation where somebody is in a particular party but his faith is in another political party. For those who are not holding political offices, yes, you can excuse. But if you are holding an elective office, you won’t be in that party and be working for another party, otherwise, why are you there? “the president asked rhetorically.
Tambuwal, who was reacting to questions from journalists at the Benin Airport about rumors of his perceived anti- party activities following his alliance with members of the Action Congress of Nigeria, said he is still a member of the PDP and would remain one. “I’ m a member of the PDP, I am a PDP man. I’m hearing that rumours from you,” he said amidst laughter.
The speaker also said that the rift between the National Assembly and the Executive over the 2013 appropriation act was in the interest of the generality of Nigerians
Tambuwal, who was in Benin as a guest of the state Deputy Governor, Dr. Pius Odubu, on his birthday and weeding anniversary told reporters at the Benin Airport that consultations were ongoing and at the appropriate time Nigerians will benefit from the budget.
“Well, you know it is all about consultation and we will keep talking to ourselves and ensure that Nigerians get the best out of it. But I assure you that what National Assembly is doing is to ensure that Nigerians get the best out of the situation. We are not there to undermine the interest of Nigerians; we will be the last people to ever do that,” the number four citizen added.
