In fact, an authoritative source revealed on Wednesday night that the case of the Deputy Speaker is already settled because "the cabal" seems to have succeeded in linking him to the Farouk Lawan bribery scandal and the last obstacle now, in the books of the Presidency, is Tambuwal.
President Jonathan and Chief Obasanjo her said to be on the same page in the move to sack Tambuwal because "they see him as too independent and very arrogant", a source revealed. The source told that Tambuwal is already aware of the plot to sack him and part of his fight-back strategies will certainly play out on the floor of the House of Reps when they reconvene on Friday for an emergency session.
As for the Deputy Speaker, sources say he's almost on his own as it is believed that he kept Tambuwal in the dark in "whatever transaction he had with Farouk Lawan". Also, there are strong indication that the deal to rubbish Farouk and the House was initiated by the Minister of Petroleum, Mrs. Diezani Allison-Madueke as, according to sources, her efforts to make Farouk shift grounds had failed.
