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.

                                                                                      

Just  a day after his security aides were withdrawn from him by the Federal Government, the Speaker of the House of Reps, Aminu Tambuwal, has filed a suit against the FG before a Federal High court in Abuja.

Tambuwal filed the suit today Oct. 31st asking the court to declare that the withdrawal of his security aides while he’s still the Speaker is unlawful and unconstitutional. He also asked the court to restrain FG from further infringing on his rights and privileges. There are reports they are trying to declare his seat vacant and organize a bye-election for the purpose of replacing him. Tanbuwal asked the court to restrain FG, INEC, PDP and IGP from doing this. In the meantime, he wants the court to order FG to return his security detail pending the determination of the suit.
