Suspended
House of Reps member, Honorable Abdulmumin Jibrin seems to have landed
in hot soup after advising President Buhari to resign due to old age and
health challenges.
Abdulmumin Jibrin
Thousands of constituents from Kiru/Bebeji federal constituency,
yesterday, disowned Honorable Abdulmumin Jibrin for calling President
Muhammadu Buhari to resign.
The constituents, who stormed the state secretariat of the All
Progressive Congress (APC) in Hotoro, also vowed to recall the lawaker
from the house.
Speaking on behalf of the constituents, a Chieftain of the party,
Alhaji Muntari Isiyaku, said members of the party from Kiru and Bebeji
were convinced that Kofa had committed a political suicide and that the
appropriate punishment was to disown and recall him from the NASS.
"It is a gross unethical misconduct for a prominent member of
the APC like him to make such a declaration on the President. If not for
anything, at least they belonged to the same party. If we allow Kofa to
go scot free, that would set a bad precedent and spell doom for APC's
in the future," he said.
Isyaku stated that the people of Kiru/ Bebeji constituency were fully behind President Buhari and would remain with him.
Also, speaking, former Campaign Director of the embattled
legislator, Alhaji Musa Salihu Bebeji, said by his current political
antecedents, Jibrin had completely lost grip, assuring "we will ensure his recall feom the National Assembly.
"As far as I know, Kofa cannot boast or claim to have executed
constituency project that were worth N12m. for the past six years he has
execute a single project in his constituency. Recalling him is the way
out. we see no reason why he should be addressed as our representative." he said.
In his remarks, Chairman, All Progressives Congress(APC) Kano state
chapter, Alhaji Abdullahi Abbas said the action of the legislator would
be fully investigated by the party.
"We will act as requested by thousands of the constituents. You
have voted him into power, he betrayed you and you disowned him. The
leaderahip of the party will ensure that every action of misconduct must
be thoroughly probed," he assured.
He reaffirmed that the APC in Kano was wishing Buhari well,
stressing that the leadership of the party and governor Abdullahi Umar
Ganduje were ever ready to support his policies and programmes aimed at
moving the country forward politically, exonomically and socially.
