The National Democratic Front (NDF) has called on the Speaker of the House of Representatives to honourably vacate his Speakership position as a gentleman if he still wishes to retain his good image in the public domain and to drag the image and reputation of the House of Representatives in the mud.
National President of the group, Comrade Philip Agbese handed the warning down yesterday while speaking with pressmen on the state of the nation at Abuja yesterday, describing Nigerian politicians as men lacking in what they say and not what they can offer.
According to him, the unnecessary legal tussle following the outcome of the Speaker?s defection is highly uncalled for except for some individuals who believe they can continue to deceive the people using the instrumentality of their office as a weapon.
He added that Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal must be reminded that his personality ratings in the last few weeks has gone down abysmally to show and that only the Speaker?s resignation would restore such glory to him as Nigerians have started viewing him as one who cannot make sacrifices for the nation.
?It is high time our leaders are reminded that just like in other climes politicians must learn to conduct themselves with some level of morality, and it is on this note that we call on Rt. Hon Aminu Tambuwal to stop making mockery of our democracy by honourably tendering his resignation letter as Speaker of the House of Representatives in the following days?.
?We consider it unjust and immoral for anyone to set standards that he cannot maintain and wonder why those gentlemen that have continue to call on the President to quit on flimsy excuses cannot honourably tender in their resignations when their actions are on the other side of the law.?
?We therefore unequivocally call on Aminu Tambuwal to do the needful and save his image and reputation from going into history as one singer who could not do the arts of his sonorous music, ? he also added.
