The Speaker of the House, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal on Tuesday expressed worries over the inability of many experienced legislators to secure a return ticket back to the house

Speaker of the House, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal made this observation at plenary on Tuesday in his opening remark after members of House of Representatives resumed from its Christmas recess.

The speaker announced the defection of some members of the house of representative who were unable to secure return ticket.

Tambuwal also announced the defections of Eddie Mbadiwe (Imo) from the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) to the ruling (PDP).

The lawmaker cited as his reason the divisions in the party, which he said now have three factions.

The little known Social Democratic Party (SDP) gained three more members, two in Ogun State and one in Taraba. Both Reps. Murtala Kayode Busari and  Ibrahim Adeniyi, formerly of APC and Accord respectively, joined the SDP in Ogun state, just as Rep. Jerry Manwe left the ruling PDP in Taraba for the  SDP.

In Niger, the PDP lost Ibrahim Gambo to the opposition APC

He said “the return rate of many legislators after the party primaries was below expectation. The expertise of those who lost primaries to re-contest the House will be greatly missed.”

The speaker of the house of representative also expresses worry at bill yet to be passed by members of the house of representative.
