The
Armed Forces on Monday recognised Aminu Waziri Tambuwal as the Speaker of the
House of Representatives.
Tambuwal was duly recognised as speaker at the Banquet Hall
of the Presidential Villa in Abuja where President Goodluck Jonathan launched
the emblem for the 2015 Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebration.
The IG of police, General Suleiman Abba had withdrawn
Tambuwal’s security details on October 30 two days after he defected from the
People's Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
But the Armed Forces, in their programme for the emblem
launch on Monday addressed Tambuwal as the speaker of the House of
Representatives.
The programme of the event themed "Appreciating the
Nigerian Armed Forces” contained the photograph of Rt. Hon. Aminu Waziri
Tambuwal as Speaker, House of Representatives.
Abba had also refused to recognise Tambuwal as speaker on
November 26 when the House Committee on Police Matters summoned him to explain
why some of his men blocked Tambuwal and other lawmakers from gaining access
into the parliament building and later tear-gassed them.
