Judge Withdraws from Tambuwal Suit…Returns Case Files to Chief Judge

                    

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal

Justice Evoh Chukwu of a Federal High Court, Abuja, has withdrawn from a suit filed by a Peoples Democratic Party member of the House of Representatives, Abiodun Akinlade, against the Speaker, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal.

The development followed the petition sent to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Ibrahim Auta, by Tambuwal.

Akinlade had in his suit sought an order declaring Tambuwal’s seat vacant on account of his defection from the PDP, which sponsored his election to the House, to the All Progressives Congress.
