LATEST UPDATE: You’re hypocrite, speaker replies ex-minister
While reacting to the call by Chief Babatope that he should resign as Speaker, House of Representatives, Tambuwal, who spoke through his Special Adviser on Media, Mallam Imam Imam said the PDP chieftain was not in a position to give him such a piece of advice.
Describing Babatope as a hypocrite, Tambuwal said Babatope lacked the moral standing to make such a call.
According to him: “Those, who live in glass house, should not throw stones. How can Babatope call on Tambuwal to resign? He lacks the moral standing to make such a call. Why did he not resign when he was a minister during Abacha regime when the late dictator’s government was busy assassinating Nigerians? Which is more honourable— defecting to APC or serving in a government that killed its citizens? Did Babatope resign from Abacha government when good people were being killed, people like Ken Saro- Wiwa, Kudirat Abola, Alfred Rewane just to mention a few. Why did Babatope refuse to quit?
Imam, who added that the speaker would not like to make further statement on the issue, said: “This matter is already in court, and to that extent, we will not like to talk on it, let the judiciary make its pronouncement on the matter”.
