The speaker, National House of representatives,
Hon. Aminu Tambuwal on Tuesday through a statement debunked the rumours that he
is under pressure to resign.
In the statement signed and released by his
media aide, Mr. Imam said he will not resign his appointment.
The statement read,”he is
not under pressure from any quarter to resign his appointment.”
“The story of the purported
resignation, as published in the Nigerian Pilot Newspaper of Tuesday, October
8, 2013, is not true, and for all intents and purposes, is part of a larger
campaign to smear the person and integrity of the Number Four Citizen of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
“The story did not come as a
surprise considering that it is one in a line of similar fabricated stories
dished out about Tambuwal by Pilot Newspaper for sometime now.”
“While we don’t want to believe that
the owners of the newspaper have allowed their platform to be used for a smear
campaign on the legislature and its principal officers, we are constrained to
say that allowing falsehood to be published in the guise of truth takes
seeking-relevance (by the paper) too far.
“We want to assure Nigerians
that the leadership of the House of Representatives is ever focused on
delivering its constitutional mandate and will not be distracted by the antics
of those who have something to hide.”
“Speaker Tambuwal and his
colleagues won’t resign their appointments and they won’t be distracted from
their stated goals,” the statement added.
Okay! Noted Sir,
Honorable Speaker!
