Abdulmumini Jibrin, the member
representing Kiru/Bebeji Federal constituency in Kano state, has apologised to
President Muhammadu Buhari over the recent comments he made on him.
Jibrin
made the remarks while addressing his supporters at his residence shortly after
conducting special prayer for the president in Kofa Juma’at Mosque,
Bebeji local government area of the state on Friday.
I
apologise to President, APC, Gov.Abdullahi Ganduje and all APC supporters over
what I said even though it was misinterpreted and misconstrued.
To
my party supporters, leaders, friends and all those who felt offended over my
comments, I sincerely apologise.
While
I offered the advice and proffered solutions in good faith, some political
detractors availed themselves of the opportunity to deliberately misconstrue
and misjudge my remarks in order to put me on coalition course with my party
and President.
Jibrin,
who is currently on a suspension imposed on him by the House of Representatives
over the 2016 budget padding scandal, said he would remain an ardent supporter
of President Buhari and his anti-corruption crusade.
He
said for long he had launched Muhammadu Buhari Special Empowerment programmes
as part of his support for President Buhari. The
chairman of APC Kofa ward, Alhaji Bala Shuaibu, described those who earlier
participated in protest against the legislator at the state party
Secretariat in Kano as mere rented crowd and opportunists.
He
assured Jibrin of the total support of the constituents adding what he said in
his tweeter handle was not reported in details, which gave room for unnecessary
misinterpretation.
Jibrin
had on March 30, in a series of tweets, asked the president to resign an action
which drew the ire of some members of his constituency who promised to initiate
a recall process against him.
