Stop Being A Hostage, Or Resign, Jibrin Tells Buhari

Former Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation, Mr. Abdulmumin Jibrin, on Monday advised President Muhammadu Buhari to stop being a hostage or resign his presidency.

Jibrin, who alleged budget padding in the 2016 budget has been in the United Kingdom after he was suspended for one legislative year, hinted that “A President must repel blackmail with all his arsenals or give up the presidency. You cannot be an effective president while in hostage!”

The embattled lawmaker in series of tweets alleged that Buhari was playing into the hands of those who do not mean well for him and his government.

As a President, once you succumb to blackmail by individual, group or institution, you are finished and your presidency certified lame duck!

So why is the President appearing weak…as if he has to beg some political "OverLords" to do his work in the name of "political stability"?

Mr President,such "political stability" and "harmony" that compels you to turn away your face where you shouldn’t is useless to our country!
