The PDP had dragged Tambuwal to court, asking the court to mandate him to declare his seat vacant and vacate his position as Speaker following his defect to the APC.
Delivering his ruling today, the presiding judge granted the PDP "leave to apply, by way of judicial review, for an order of mandamus compelling the Speaker or Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives to give effect to the provisions of Section 68(1)(g) of the Constitution by declaring the Kebbe/Tambuwal federal Constituency seat vacant.”.

Power of incumbency. I know PDP will explore all their power to remove the guy.
Tambuwal,Buhari,kwankwaso,Atiku and GEJ..all roads lead to 2015 election.. God's will be done. It is well with Nigeria. 2tim 2:1-2. BishopDammy#
Bia linda, anyi nozi na fastest finger okwaya?
Every PDP news must always carry Tambuwal name
What a brilliant judgement
Why didnt PDP ask Mimiko to leave Ondo state government house and declare his seat vacant, stupid bunch of hypocrite... Vote for PDP. Never
Dey r all birds of same feather. ..wat is been done to him, he has done it to someone else before....politics smh
But wait ooo
When peter obi defected to pdp why didnt this apply or it only concerns speakers
I knw ds country is moving forward. Even if pdp wins again, they will buckle up wth d presence of a strong opposition. We r gradually getting to our cannan city
He was voted as a speaker based on the premise dat he is from the winning and majority party. Since he decamped he has obviously lost the ryt to remain speaker. He shuddav calmly stepped down to avoid embarrassment
Am Olive. Good for him. pepus4xhard@yahoo.com
Na wetin he deserve. All these ungrateful politicians fighting GEJ. I neva liked him though
Pdp self. Nawa oh
This guy should peacefully leave the seat of speaker house of rep with dignity and honor na..... U nor get special adviser???

The best judgement of the year
APC and PDP...gangangangan...Action..we dey wait. but on a more serious note d kind of tins we see in our political system never ceases to amaze me.
its well..* Daily Benefits*
On what grounds.
A law they have trampled at a given stage of declaration. Due process shouldn't be considered only when the opposition defaults or haven't they heard "Leadership by example".
Tambuwal should concentrate on the governorship seat, he can't have it both ways.
Politics is a game of mind..
The judiciary is in the pocket of the executive therefore am not surprise of this verdict.
Whatever, I sha nid d LIB giveaway
I reserve my comment
Nw the main politikin begins!
Please let them impeach uncle Jonah first o before other things follow.
People's Democratic Party :)

Dats Hww it shud be. If he is not PDP then he is not pdp. #nobias
Rules are rules even in politics. He should have thought of the consequences before defecting. That position belongs to to PDP.
What an eyesore. Tanbuwal ain't going no where.
Then d seats of every oda person who has decamped to fidifi shud also be declared vacant....
I expected it
very very good,he has lost his power

Politics everywhere
Pls,am applying for the post
Gracenot2001
You cannot eat your cake and have it Mr Tambuwal. Do the honourable thing and stop misleading men into jumping fences.
Woooww Judgement so fast, its the judiciary has undergone some reform over night or the GEJ administration is pulling the all powerful executive strings. but we are watching in amazement how all this will play out. but technically the way these politics are been heated up. i nurse a deep sense of fear for this country.
And the drama continues
Okay
I just pray his seat won't be declared vacant.
Good for him, he want to cut the very finger that fed him ndifrekeafia@gmail.com
Politics sha, very dirty and profiting game.
politics!!!
rubbish
Wahala dey...we are watching sha.
Stupid Tambuwal God punish devil ( Tambuwal) d idiot wanna eat his cake n still have itv
We've not heard the last of this...that im sure of.
Now dats justice
More drama yet to unfold....we r waiting.
U r a wise man...
I love the Judiciary this is victory for democracy
I dey laugh o! All you ignorant fellas chatting crap here, the case will be fought all the way to the Supreme Court and that will take another 12 months at least meanwhile Tambuwal remains Speaker and by then he will have been elected as the Governor of Sokoto State Insha Allah
APC! Change! ! HATERS GON DIE HATING
It's better that way, he's the one causing commotion in the house
Linda you have come again o! What the Presiding Judge, Justice Ahmed Muhammed said was that he turned down the prayers of the PDP lawyer Chief Mike Ahamba to declare Tambuwal'a seat vacant through an exparte order of the court. The Judge only said Tambuwal should be put on notice regarding the exparte order request of the PDP. Please always seek the opinion of legal experts to interpret court statements for you if you don't understand before rushing to press and misinforming the world. THis is a volatile and charged political era.
Victory for Democracy and massive blow to Boko Haram. At least they have lost a sensitive position in Government.
Since the way Linda just twist the whole story and reported something else! Na by force to interpret the language of the court yourself? look for a lawyer nah if the english too strong for u...lol
God for him,if u can't beat dem then join dem......GEJ till 2019
Na WA oooo this is serious matter
Iti aki!
Iti! Even when the constitution needs no expertise to be read and understood
Crazy country with crazy constitution. Nigeria and drama.
The judgement is a reflection of controversy,i believe Appeal court is waiting to hear more on it.We shouldn't have headache about the judgement,the arrangement is there.
What about mimiko. Hypocrite
D guy is too razzzzzzz jor.
Foolish comment!
One of our problems in this country is dat d judiciary, an arm of government do not have a mind of its own. Dey always play to d gallery of d presidency and until it develop a mind of its own and sees itsef as an arm of govt d status quo will remain while d masses will keep groaning. At deir incompetence. Mimiko of onto state decamped to PDP only recently and d court was not prevailed upon by the presidency for his seat to be declared vacant. To PDP n jonathan there is zero tolerance to the opposition.
I note with shock that you adorn the regalia of a legal practitioner but your utterances never depict same. The fg applied for leave to apply for judicial review and it was granted and u call that a brilliant judgment? Leave means permission to apply. The substantive application itself has not been heard or ruled upon. Lawyer indeed. Smh.
We're in a country where court decisions are manipulated in favour of one party.Why didnt PDP take Gov Olusegun Mimiko's case 2 d court n declear his seat vacant or even Gov Amaech's seat vacant?nonsense!'cos Tambuwa is a weak player right?
Nope. actually, he's a stupid man. the law is not clear on governors but is crystal on speakers.
Linda change ur heading is is misleading .
Well, i was not surprised @ the court permission. However, executive can only deceive Nigerians but they can never deceive God. God's will must prevail despite all their political buhaha
Is the right thing to do cos some one can not bite d finger that fed him
That's a very un-informed comment. A court of competent jurisdiction has already ruled that if a governor moves to another party, he remains the governor as the electorate are known to vote for personalities, not parties see the case of Theodore Orji in Abia state who won on the platform of PPA and moved to the PDP.
In the case of the Speaker of the House, the majority party in the house is supposed to produce the speaker. PDP is the majority party, if you leave the party, you can't remain the Speaker...it is that simple!
They should all resign abi.
nah wah for this our politician ooo (eleyele1@yahoo.com)
Good for Him Alhaji Tambuwal U can't eat ur cake and till have it,pack well abeg .
All u idiots on this forum shld nt mind dis imbecile kald linda. Dis piece shows dat she is a pdp sympathiser n a cronic jonathanian. News n journalistic articles shld be thorough, confirmed n unbiased. Shameless ashewo girl... Be on d course of Nigeria or ur lost Biafra. Dat is even a better idea than being a Jonathian. Ewu.
I like dis news, a stubborn fly follows d corpse into the grave. Lesson for others.
Good one lets see what happens next.....
I don't think u understand what being a majority leader and speaker means? It means u are a member of the majority party, pls since when did APC become the majority party? His defection to APC means he has to vacate d seat cos he is no longer majority leader.
#seen
Long live LIB™
Linda even you too... Media houses in Nigeria heat up our politics in a manner that is against their professional ethics. Stop misrepresenting facts.....
See Gobe!
WHEN ARE WE GOING TO STOP ALL THIS CAT AND DOG POLITIC,MANY PEOPLE DEFECTED TO PDP NO COURT ORDER NO STORY BUT NOW THAT IS PDP TO APC NOICE IS EVERY WHERE I THINK THERE IS A RIGHT FOR ANY ONE TO BELONG TO ANY PARTY OF HIS CHOICE
The pdp govt owns the courts, judges, chief chief. What do u expect to be d outcome of the judgement? It should be in favour of the owner. mjabdulk@gmail.com
