Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal, speaker of the House of Representatives, who recently defected from the ruling PDP to the APC, has approached a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja to stop the Peoples Democratic Party and six others from removing him from office.

The Speaker, who has filed a suit against the PDP, the PDP National Chairman, Adamu Muazu; the House of Representatives, the Deputy Speaker of the House, the Inspector-General of Police, the Independent National Electoral Commission and the Attorney-General of the Federation, prayed the court to hold that he still remains a member of the House of Representatives and its Speaker.
According to the speaker, the PDP and its Chairman have consistently threatened to declare his seat vacant and withdraw all rights and benefits including security details attached to him, since he announced his defection, Punch reports.
Therefore, Tambuwal is praying the court for an order of perpetual injunction restraining the defendants and their agents from taking any step or further steps to abrogate or diminish or take away or interfere with or infringe his rights and privileges as Speaker and a member of the House before the expiration of his term of office on June 5, 2015.
