Reps Speaker, Tambuwal, Says Members Can Now Join APC

The tsunami which swept through the political landscape in Abuja on
Tuesday afternoon is set to hit the chamber of the National Assembly,
with the House of Representatives as the starting point of the move.
Reacting to the merger of the All Progress Congress and the new PDP
leadership, the Speaker of the House of the Representatives, Rt. Hon.
Aminu Tambuwal, welcomed the development and declare the floor
open for any of the members who are ready to join the merger,
officially.
In a statement in Abuja on Tuesday, he said: "Members of Parliament
will decide collectively on when to defect. They have their internal
process if they decide to cross carpet."
Tambuwal, who made his position known in a statement through his
Special Adviser on Media, said it is left to members to activate the
process. "Let us wait and see whether they can activate the process
or not.”
The 1999 Constitution allows defection of lawmakers if there is
division in their political party.
