‘Tambuwal can’t be impeached if he defects to APC’.
Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the House of Representatives, Kamil Akinlabi, has said Speaker Aminu Tambuwal will not be impeached if he dumps the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the APC.
The lawmaker, who chairs the Committee on Youth Development, told our reporter that such a development, if it happens, would not cause a disjunction in the House.
He said the Speaker’s ascendance to the position was a testimony of the overwhelming goodwill and support he enjoyed from his colleagues.
Akinlabi said: “I can tell you confidently that the Seventh House of Representatives is a family. And I can tell you that when the Speaker defects, nothing will happen on the floor of the House.
“There may be some issues, but everything on the floor is determined by number. Numerically, if he’s in the PDP, he’s secured; if he’s in APC, he’s secured. That’s because the two parties are having members of almost equal strength…”

Oscar pistorius jailed

Oscar Pistorius has today been sentenced to five years in prison for the death of Reeva Steenkamp, as his seven month trial finally came to a conclusion.
The South African athlete was sentenced at Pretoria’s High Court for the killing of his girlfriend Ms Steenkamp, after being cleared of murder but convicted of culpable homicide.
In her sentencing, Judge Masipa ruled a non-custodial sentence would send the wrong sentence to the community, but a long sentence would not be appropriate because it would appear to lack mercy.
These are the main points from today’s hearing:
*.
Athlete won’t appeal sentence, his family confirms
*.
Steenkamp family say punishment “is the right sentence”
*.
The State prosecuting authority has not yet decided whether to appeal againstPistorius’ conviction for culpable homicide
*.
Pistorius is likely to serve ‘one third of sentence’ behind bars
*.
Pistorius is sentenced to three years wholly suspended for a firearms charge
