Suspended member of the House of Representatives, Abdulmumin Jibrin, may have stirred the hornets’ nest again as he has alleged of ‘cracks’ in the government of President Muhammadu Buhari as some people still question the instructions of Acting President Yemi Osinbajo.
In a series of tweets on Monday, the controversial lawmaker claimed that they were government officials who rather run to London to see President Buhari when Osinbajo gives directive rather than just carry it out.
Jibrin, who was given one year legislative suspension for blowing the lid on budget padding by the leadership of the House, advised Buhari to trust the decisions of his deputy more.
Below are some of the tweets:
