Suspended House of Representatives member, Honorable Abdulmumin Jibrin, has come under attack after advising President Buhari to resign due to old age and health challenges.
Recall that Abdulmumin Jibrin, suspended for exposing alleged budget padding in the Green Chamber, had during the weekend advised president Muhammadu to relinquish his office, citing under-performance on the side of the President.
However, thousands of constituents from Kiru/Bebeji federal constituency, yesterday, disowned Jibrin for calling for Buhari’s resignation.
The constituents, who stormed the state secretariat of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Hotoro, vowed to recall the lawaker from the House.
A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Alhaji Muntari Isiyaku, while speaking on behalf of the constituents, 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.
Isiyaku said, “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.”
Isyaku stated that the people of Kiru/ Bebeji constituency were fully behind President Buhari and would remain with him.
Also, speaking, Jibrin’s former Campaign Director, Alhaji Musa Salihu Bebeji, said by his current political antecedents, Jibrin had completely lost grip, assuring “We will ensure his recall from 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.
Also speaking, Chairman, All Progressives Congress, APC, in Kano state, 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 leadership of the party will ensure that every action of misconduct must be thoroughly probed.”
