Speaker of the House of Reps Aminu Tambuwal has finally gained access into the House Chamber. There was chaos outside the Assembly complex this morning as police tried to prevent him and other lawmakers from entering the complex. Some had to scale the gates after all entry points were sealed off leaving only one open where many were thoroughly frisked and some turned back. There are allegations that most of the lawmakers turned back were from the APC. The police at some point even fired teargas and some lawmakers reportedly fainted.
Tambuwal, who had been prevented from driving through the second gate after passing through the first gate of the Assembly complex was smuggled into the Chamber by loyalists who overpowered security operatives at the second and third gate. The House has now gone into executive session.
See photos and account of what happened by Tambuwal's media adviser after the cut...

useless set of people... poliTRICKtians
With each ill advised step,GEJ is swaying public empathy towards the opposition. Sometimes I wonder is these his advisers are for him or against him.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
These people and their dumb mind f&%kery games!
all these because he left PDP! they should let that man be please!

Your comment will be visible after approval
Kk we are wating 4 d outcome of d meeting...olubukola daniels aka blackmamba...
Who cares, adults behaving like school children, Odi kwam egwu o! ########OTUoCHA
as in linda it's not a small thing today o! National Assembly is in disarray! this just goes to show the impunity of the federal government and the way they use the security forces as their personal watchdogs!!!! was all this called for????? after foolish people will come out and scream PDP/GEJ till 2019! this is worse than the military rule! it means you don't have freedom or right to anything! these are elected officials that are being treated this way and the worst bit the #4 citizen of this country!!!!!!!
For me this is the first time i was in awe of our legislators, today they put aside party loyalty, personal grievances and came together as one to fight a common evil. If i were in the place of authority i would start pushing for the impeachment of Jonathan. He has completely failed us as a leader, if he gave the go ahead for this dastardly act.
Just tired of this country
This is madness!!
No be only tambuwal, the north wld never rule this country ever again!
This is what is called rule by thugs. If you do this where you have real constitutional order, Mr. President, you loose your job. You will be impeached. But in that hell hole anything goes. The executive can stop the legislature from sitting and there will be no constitutional crisis. What do expect from a country that mints billionaires overnight even when you can't get clean water to drink.
The Nigerian police as an entity is a political thug#puppets
Nigeria most certainly becoming a banana republic. GEJ should remember dia ris god ooooo !
Jonathan is playing with fire, I wish him all the best .
The people of Nigeria are watching....our kids are watching...let the the ruling elite remember not to underestimate the power of the people...if it can happen in Lybia ,Egypt then it can happen here
I doubt if Jonathan advisers knows the whole world are watching us. This is a disgrace to Nigerians. Even during Military regime things were not like this. PDP can not govern this country, they lack every ingredients to do that. There is no respect for our Constitutions anymore. What a wasted leaders we have in Nigeria today!
See how much this guy is loved. Nigetians that can't die for themselves shielded him. What is Gej so afraid of. And why is the police involved. He knows the members won't remove him as clearly he is loved. Gej must go. Pdp is already divided against itself and by the day are proving v how useless they are. Ekiti and lagos are in chaos partywise.
Na waooo, dis is GEJ hand work, hmmm
If they know how to earn the largest salaries in the world, then this is their own problem
seem like a fun job.

Hmmm! I thought democracy is better than military rule?
Whoever initiative d act is a criminal, how can this drama happen bcos of one man Tanbuwa do this to a whole house of Assembly? House Assembly of commotion .
Tambuwal should not be allowed into the complex. He is not a member of the national assembley. He couldn't even stop corruption in national assembley.
Dis is whr we need d boko haram.I wonder why they cnt get access to dat plc. Instead of killing innocent children and citizens. Mtchewww
This one na action film. Watch out for part 2!!! I pity people who still have it in mind to vote for these crazy people we call leaders.
JONATHAN THE DICTATOR
The only way Jonathan can prove he is not in support of this is if he sack the IGP immediately for the disgrace melted on the country. This is unpatriotic. That useless Okupe and bastard Abati would come and be telling a useless lies. Olorun a mu gbogbo yin. Eyin Odaran eda yi. This is a disgrace to the already disgraced country called Nigeria. Go and read about it on CNN.

Is this democracy or autocracy. Why must d police do such a thing, after removing his security and allowances. You now ban him again. This is just wrong on every level. If tambuwal can be treated like this, then how about d common man on d street,if its to fight boko haram now they sabi hide wella nd run away but for civilians them get mouth
Shut up bitch if you got nothing to say only tin I see here is a show of shame from some bunch of fat belle tiffs called hus of rep members
Imam Imam, where did you hide your bomb ?
APC members are bunch of aggrieved, deranged, confused, demur rage, redundancy, losers. Bunch of people that have run out of ideas. Rubbish.
See the way APC members jumped thru d gate b4 dey gain access into NASS
Come 2015, they will lose woefully.
Naija na waoh I tire any way dat 1 wey faint let him die there idiot na there pocket dem dey cyphone every every
#KIRKOBANGZ
oh my God, what a shame.pls audience can these shameless people still b called HONOURABLES or DISHONOURABLES bc they hv bring shame and disgrace to their electorate
U should blame GEJ for ur jobless situation,u shouldn't support impunity and use of force,GEJ is more like a dictator
Hmmmmmnnn...what a country.
I dnt blame jonathan bt his advisers... Especially the buffalo okupe n d rest.... Also madam peace.... Useless set of people.... Also tnk APC shld chose someone other than buhari if they want to take over which i oray they do.... Dumb FG
When i talk about Johnathan people don't understand why i have lost confidence in this man Jonathan use to b humble and meek.
wen he was denied rights of access to the villa wen yar adua was sick wen turai and the cabal refused him entering Aso rock and assume leadership Nigerians fought for him the late Dora fought for this man that ahd no shoes while growing up (according to him na who we go ask).
now he has turned to a tyrant.
the president has no right to lock up the national assembly the president has no right to bar an incumbent speaker especially wen he is not impeached. this is why rotimi amechi was fighting gej.
tambuwal defecting to Apc wont stop gej from wining his election so why attack tambuwal why prevent him from doing his legislative duties.
Jonathan feels he is god Jonathan feel he has exclusive powers to do and undo. one day he will leave that office he will account for all his deeds.i have said my piece Nigerians need to rise upa and vote him out
a sititng prisdent thta controls only 30 states instead of 36 states a sititng prisident that ahs lost 6 states in the north to boko haram wat apity iobasanjo is way better than this guu deocracy my foot
Oh dear! I weep for my dear country! Very sad I have such man as the president of this country! He is just very pathetic. SMH

And where in the news was it mentioned that Jonathan was behind what happened.
na wa for obodo naija oooo things are really happening God save us all
It's getting more interesting
True talk! I wonder what the Nigerian youths and working class are waiting for before they take back the power that rightfully belongs to them?
Some peeps that come on blogs to comment are just idiots!!! Why must everything boil down to GEJ? Are u people sane @all? Useless idiots, be there n let's sentiments guide ur sense of reasoning! Pple talking thrash like kids. So cos Tabuwal was denied access to d house, it's now GEJ's fault? GEJ sent d police to throw tear gas bah? Some of ur comments are just plain stupid honestly.
hmmmmm
i wonder wat dis country is turning to..... shey na only pdp nd apc dey dis Nigeria ni? SERIOUSLY,GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN IS A DISGRACE TO DIS COUNTRY.... instead of u to fight against terrorism and corruption, u are busy giving useless order.... shey na by force to rule for 2015 ni? na wa o
Double wahala for dead bodi
He came prepared likewise GEJ.
Forcefully gaining entrance shows how 2015 elections will be.
Quite shameful, y did dey av to jump d gate? Am sure we'll be stunned wen we here the real story.
Tambuwal has not seen anything yet.. You stole money from Jonathan's govt and now you want to go and strengthen an opposition. Nobody eats his cake and have it back. This is part 2 watch out for the remaining parts. If Jonathan sinks you are going down to
You be mumu!
1. My heart is pierced. This report is perturbing. Im sad. We have denegrated so low. This is beyond party sentiments, tribal interests or religious affiliation. A crime against the collective interest of this nation has been committed by the police and other security operatives whose duties are to uphold the same constitution they have now poured slim on.
2. Am gladden, because in the midst of this gloom there is hope. Members of the House of Rep has shown solidarity and wisdom by supporting and shielding the Speaker. This is not about his part or his religion or his tribe or his political ambition...but the sanctity of his position.
3. And for those who are blindly decided to follow GEJ to the grave and excuse all his apparent fallings, i wish them well. They should remember, Nigeria is bigger than one man, one family, one state, one region, one tribe, one religion...what goes around, comes around. we all will pay for this act of ignominy. I agree with Soyinka..we are under a cloud of shame.
4. Finally...i wish i could go back to a few years, and pick the guardian newspaper tomorrow or sunday, and read Reuben Abatis column about this incident.. oh how i wish
Anon 2.04pm. Maybe u need a pair of anti teargas eyeglasses for u to see clearly and unbiasely.

Its quite a pity that such things are happening in this country because of 2015, am most worried that GEJ being the leader of this country would allow such things happening. power belongs to God Almighty, kings and rulers are made by God Almighty I could remember during the kitchen cabinet era, due to the oppression shown to GEJ he got sympathy from the common people of Nigeria, and coupled with the campaign slogans ''I had no shops'' that actually made the average and common people felt this man was the right person with human feelings, but what have Nigerians got out of his government, people losing their life's and poverty in the land corruption all over and the highest impunity have ever seen being shown in every quarters.
And d owner of deadibodi, wallahi!
In preparation for this, PDP has retired all the generals that can overthrow the government and has also engaged the remaining ones with Boko Haram problem while they continue to disgrace the country for whatever reason. Shagari administration wasn't this chaotic before it was overthrown. Our democracy is really suffering...
Why can't set jump in wen your stupid president and pdp oder police not to allow dem enter.
Who tell u dat dis moron will win next election?am sorry for both of u
Let him dey use his power he already know dat come 2015 na otueke he will do his birthday
Hmmmmm.Am amazed, flabberwhelmed at the level of rascality going on in the Nigerian political praxis. ....todays melodrama is indeed a shame on our collective call for sanity and d sanctity of our constitution that all the honorable members swore to uphold.
Indeed, there was a country called Nigeria......so heart broken that its now abysmal of sheer display of impunity, rape and assault of d rule of law....worst is the cursing and gutter language we all use in either for or against our political inclination.......instead of us as a people to stand and collectively use the highest tool of a democratic professed people....which is public opinion based on rational thinking ability iirespective of who is wrong or right.
Worst is that some youths are now hailing and praising the Law makers that scaled the gate as a worthy course...Gosh, what has happened to our unwritten and written curriculum, our morality and our conscience that taught me at early stage of my development as a child that owners of house dont come through d back door neither through the fence but robbers do....what a descend from sublime to mundane, disdain, absurdity etc...and we are applauding such abnormalis.
No matter how I feel abt this, I still believe it all boils down to show that the will to cause the much desired change in our nation....it do not rest on any political plateform but solely on the individual ability to espunge all forms of greed and personal agrandization. ...lets not forget this in our opinions...and rise up as a nation and condemn this act by all law makers, the police and all elder statesman in our nation irrespective of the political party u belong to.
Afterall its still possible for a section or even d other party to equip themselves with constitutional meduims to address this matter.Mr president, d judiciary and the legislative arms of this nation has failed indeed.....all because of our bogus bags of interest.
Please people vote this PDP THUGS out of power by 2015. They are bunch of OLORIBURUKU, thieves and very greedy. We need a breath of fresh air and people!
Anno 3:36
You have earned a lovely kiss from me dis evening. I am not a GEJ fan but I am tire of hearing he has done dis he has done dat. People should reason out of d box and put sentiment aside. So Tambuwa does not have opposition or enemies except jonathan ba? Y is he 2 faced use to like him but den he is no diff from GEJ all politicians
Chick read the constitution of your country first before you show your ignorance
You will soon blame Jonathan for the mosquito that bit in your house
Odiegwu
You're the ignorant fool here. Constitution says you lose your seat if you decamp, unless there's a division within your party.
Tambuwal claims there is a division in his party, hence his defection. The case is in court and only the court can decide at this stage. You Jonathan supporters are as daft and clannish as your principal. Mumu!
Dis leaders nids deliverance
You are a fool
