There appears to be a split between Speaker of the House of Representatives Aminu Waziri Tambuwal and the Deputy Speaker Emeka Ihedioha, as lawmakers loyal to former suspects the latter and are plotting to unseat him.
The pro-Tambuwal group is now ready to proceed with moves to unseat Ihedioha who, they allege, is being supported by the Presidency to reconvene the House to upstage his boss.
It was reliably learnt that the move against the Deputy Speaker has reached an advanced stage as an impeachment motion against him is being drafted that would be backed by many members.
The move has the backing of many PDP members from the north and all APC members.
“We are alarmed at moves by the deputy speaker to reconvene the House somewhere this week in order to remove the speaker.
“Therefore, we have resolved that Ihedioha will be the first casualty if he dares reconvene the House because he has been surviving because of Tambuwal’s protection.”
