In reaction to his statement, members of his
constituents from Kiru/Bebeji federal
constituency in Kano state, yesterday staged
a protest at the APC secretariat in Kano
state chapter of APC, expressing their anger
at him and also vowing to recall him for
making such a statement against President
Buhari.
Leader of the protesting constituents and a
Chieftain of the party, Muntari Isiyaku, said
members of the party from Kiru and Bebeji
were convinced that Abdulmumin had
committed a political suicide and that the
appropriate punishment was to disown and
recall him from the National Assembly.
“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 Jibrin to go scot
free, that would set a bad precedent
and spell doom for APC’s in the
future” he said
Another APC cheiftain and former Campaign
Director of Abdulmumin, Musa Salihu Bebeji,
who also spoke at the protest ground, said
they have set the motion to recall Jibrin
from the House of Representatives.
”
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
