BEVERLY HILLS, April 07, (THEWILL) – Suspended member of the House of Representatives, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has tendered his apology over his words calling for the resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Jibrin made the demand exactly one week ago, citing the health condition of Buhari, even saying the president should be given the option of nominating a new Vice-President while Aisha, his wife, should be given a top position in government.
This led to a protest by some persons from his constituency who staged a protest to the APC headquarters in Kano calling on the party authorities to sanction him and threatened to recall him.
But speaking in Kano on Friday, Jibrin said his position was misrepresented.
According to him, “What I said was misconstrued and blown out of proportion.
“I, Jibrin Abdulmumini Kofa, a member representing Kiru/Bebeji federal constituency, is apologising to President Muhammadu Buhari, the party leadership, Kano state governor, Kano people and all Buhari supporters across the country.
“May Allah give him (Buhari) the strength to rule successfully. And May He give him good health and the country in general.
“I’m not apologising to people like Alhassan Ado Doguwa in the national assembly.
“No one in the hallowed chamber is fighting against corruption like I am.
“I was in the United Kingdom when people were protesting, but what I did was to rush down home in the next available flight. I want show them that I am still with my people. And they support me all the time.”
