According to Sahara Reporters, about 1000 soldiers and policemen have sealed the entrance to the National Assembly in Abuja and have physically prevented Aminu Tambuwal, speaker of the House, from entering.
Tambuwal arrived the National Assembly to preside over the House's sitting, but the troops stopped him at the gate. This has resulted in an altercation.
Tambuwal, President Jonathan and the PDP are currently at loggerheads over Tambuwal's decision to leave the party and decamp to the APC.
The spokesperson for the Speaker, Imam Imam, told PREMIUM TIMES that move is likely aimed at stopping Mr. Tambuwal from entering the assembly to preside as speaker.
“All the entrances are locked and only one gate is used and everyone is totally frisked before being allowed in and only one person is allowed into the Assembly from any vehicle, others are asked to go back,” he said.
