THERE are plans to remove House of Representatives Speaker Aminu Tambuwal, source source said yesterday. The Presidency believes the House has been infiltrated by the G -7 governors and the Kawu Baraje faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
It has launched a counter -move to remove Tambuwal and other principal officers, The Nation learnt.
The Presidency stepped in following alleged moves to sack the House Leader, Mrs. Mulikat Adeola, who is pro - President Goodluck Jonathan.
Also, as part of the plot, the Bamanga Tukur- led PDP National Working Committee (NWC) yesterday called off its proposed meeting with the Speaker and the PDP caucus in
the House at the last minute.
According to sources, the Presidency was uncomfortable with the alleged romance between the Speaker and the G -7 governors/ Kawu Baraje faction.
It was gathered that the Presidency suspected that the G- 7 and the Kawu Baraje faction planned to join forces with the opposition to reduce PDP into the minority party in the House. It was learnt that the Presidency is acting on security
reports on covert plan by the House to impeach President Goodluck Jonathan or make governance difficult for him because of the 2015 election.
