Aminu Tambuwal: Court Stops House from Reconvening Till Friday

 The embattled Speaker of the House of Representative Hon. Aminu Tambuwal got a brief respite on Monday when a Federal High Court in Abuja issued an order directing the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Adamu Mu’azu and others not to reconvene the House, at least, until Friday, November 7 2014, when they have been directed to appear before the court to show cause why the reliefs being sought by the speaker and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), should not be granted.

Justice Ahmed Mohammed of the Federal High Court specifically directed that the status quo be maintained in the matter, pending November 7 when the defendants are expected to appear before the court to show cause why the reliefs being sought by the speaker should not be granted.

The court noted that the order was to preserve the subject matter of the suit, which bordered on the speaker's position following his defection to the APC.

Justice Mohammed made the order following a motion ex parte argued by Tambuwal’s lawyer, Mr. Sunday Ameh (SAN).
