Why Tambuwal's Security Was Withdrawn: He's No Longer The Speaker

The Force Public Relations Officer, Emmanuel Ojukwu, in a statement on Thursday in Abuja, hinged the withdrawal of Tambuwal’s security aides on Section 68(1)(g) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended.

Statement reads, “In view of the recent defection by the Right Hon. Aminu Waziri Tanbuwal, CFR, the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, from the People Democratic Party to the All Progressive Congress and having regard to the clear provision of section 68(1)(g) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended, the Nigeria Police Force, has redeployed its personnel attached to his office.”


(The reason is because) Aminu Tambuwal is no longer the speaker of the federal house of reps as per section 68 of the 1999 constitution. All hail the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria. Anyone
dissatisfied with this can go to court. Congratulations to Emeka Ihedioha, the new speaker of the house of reps.
