Aminu Tambuwal Asks IGP To Be Jailed For Contempt

House of Representatives Speaker Aminu Tambuwal asks IGP to be jailed for contempt. In the application filed by his counsel, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), Tambuwal accused the IGP of committing contempt of the order of court for status quo made on November 7.

Tambuwal averred that the IGP undertook not to tamper with the subject of the dispute being his status as Speaker, but has been the only person who does not recognise him as the speaker. He added that even the president still recognises him as the speaker.
The Speaker cited his being denied access into the premises of the National embly “to perform his lawful duty as the Speaker of the House of Representatives” on November 20 and the statement by the IGP before the House Committee on Police Affairs on Wednesday that he would not recognise him as speaker, as some of the instances of the IGP’s contempt of court.
Justice Ahmed Muhammed advised Tambuwal’s counsel to file a motion on notice and serve the IGP, who was represented by Ade Okeaya-Inneh (SAN), for his reply. He adjourned the case to December 1 for ruling on two separate applications by Tambuwal’s constituents who are seeking to join the suit.
Bala Konkani and Sambo Bello Moddo, chairmen of Kebbe and Tambuwal local government areas of Sokoto State respectively, are arguing that they are interested parties in the suit having elected the Speaker as a representative to the House. Similarly, Abdulsamad Ibrahim Dasuki of Tambuwal East constituency, Suleiman Hamsi of Tambuwal West constituency, and Hon Shuiabu Umar of Kebbi West constituency, all members of the Sokoto State House of embly, want the court to admit them as parties in the suit.

You have already imprinted you name in a very bad section in the History of Nigeria.In time to come,school children will read about you as the man that cross carpeted and still insisted on keeping the position he got by virtue of majority.Democracy is the rule of majority,in the future school children will read about you as the foolish man that tried to change Democracy from the rule of majority,to the rule of minority.The name Tambuwal is now a CURSED name in Democracy,not only in Nigeria,but also in the entire World.
