Jibrin In Fresh Trouble For Asking Buhari To Resign On Health Grounds

Embattled Nigerian lawmaker, Hon. Abdulmumini Jibrin Kofa representing Kiru/Bebeji federal constituency, may be in fresh trouble for asking President Muhammadu Buhari to resign on health grounds.

This is coming as thousands of constituents stormed the state secretariat of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Hotoro on Wednesday, vowed to recall the lawmaker 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.

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.
