A Federal High court sitting in Abuja, yesterday, gave the People’s Democractic Party, PDP permission to apply for a mandatory order compelling either the Speaker or Deputy Speaker of the House Of Representatives, to declare the Kebbe/Tambuwal seat being held by Hon. Aminu Tambuwal vacant following his recent defection from PDP to APC.
PDP had dragged Aminu Tambuwal to court, requesting 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 yesterday, 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.”.
