Among the conditions, is the promise of return tickets for them in 2015, which might be rejected by both the ruling party and President Goodluck Jonathan.
Tambuwal last week dumped the ruling party for the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) and immediately adjourned the House till December 3, 2014.
It was gathered that today's meeting between the national chairman of the PDP and the federal lawmakers would centre on some of the conditions the latter had stipulated in order for them to move for Tambuwal's removal.
Other demands of the lawmakers is for the leadership of PDP to make promise to assist those of them who are aspiring to be senators as well as those who have indicated their interest to be governors in their states.
At a preliminary meeting between the PDP caucus in the House and the leadership of the party, with President Jonathan in attendance, deputy speaker Emeka Ihedioha was said to have had an altercation with the Akwa Ibom State governor Godswill Akpabio who had accused PDP members in the House of Representatives of playing the second fiddle by allowing the opposition to have a field day.
Ihedioha was said to have fired back at Governor Akpabio, reminding him that as chairman of the PDP Governors' Forum, he and his colleagues had done nothing to motivate PDP federal lawmakers, unlike their counterparts in the APC.
The timely intervention of Mu'azu was said to have saved the day as he immediately initiated today's meeting where the issues are likely to be ironed out.
Regardless, today's meeting might run into some hitches as the lawmakers have insisted on the conditions being met.
The return bids of more than half of the PDP lawmakers in the House of Representatives are threatened owing, in some cases, to disagreements between them and their governors.
Wahala dey o!
