“PMB, TIME TO LET GO: So many issues are left unattended even small issues that a presidential cough can deal with are left hanging,”with these words, former chairman, House Committee on Appropriation, Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin on Friday asked President Muhammadu Buhari to resign.
Jibrin, who is on suspension from the House, gave the advice on his twitter handle @AbdulAbmJ.
In series of tweets numbering 30, the lawmaker discussed the state of affair in the country as it relates to the health of the President.
He then suggested that President Buhari should handover to his Vice, Yemi Osinbajo.
Prompt News recalls that when Mr. Buhari returned to the country a couple of weeks ago, after spending 50 days on medical vacation in London, he said he would soon go back to keep appointment with his Doctors.
Jibrin, representing Kano state in the Lower Chamber, tweeted that Buhari should however, be allowed to nominate a competent Northerner as Osinbajo’s Vice.
The series of tweets read:
“At PMB’s age, working actively for over 50 years , even without his present health condition, his capacity will be greatly challenged
“Then we are reminded everyday that PMB will travel abroad again to attend to his health as if it is just normal and we should celebrate?
“I believe that the combination of these two factors of his age and health situation has slowed down the pace of PMB and the APC govt
“The more PMB appears on camera, the more the narrative of his health situation takes the center stage and the uncertainly it creates
“PMB gave his all to Nigeria. He is a great man, an enigma like Mandela. If we truly love him, We must not allow him to be rubbished
“Life and health belongs to God but the more I see pictures of Mr President, the more I am convinced he needs to go and rest. He needs it!
“The president I see on camera needs full home care not office, moderately quiet life, enough rest and quality time with his family
“Life and health belongs to God but the more I see pictures of Mr President, the more Iam convinced he needs to go and rest. He needs it!
“PMB should opt for or encourage to accept a negotiated exit. The country can not afford a sort of part time president at this time
“If we truly love PMB, we must apply some urgent diplomacy, resolve these issues quickly, move on and save the country valuable time.
“Mr President can be giving a special concession to nominate a new VP. We should expect that he nominates a very competent northerner.
”A nominee that can get things done and have the capacity to unite the north and assuage it feelings for losing the presidency again .
“We the northerners should accept it as destiny, may be Almighty God is so disappointed with the present generation of northern leaders .
“And may be God wants to reserve the northern presidential slot for the younger and vibrant northern generation that will come after us
” I also believe Mrs Buhari is competent enough and can be considered for a cabinet position. She has paid her dues in APC, anyway.
“The incoming President will have to do some diplomatic shuttle to few powerful officials to address what ever their fears may be
“A committee of all former heads of states, APC leaders and DSS can work together to push through this agenda in our collective interest.
-I apologise to any body who might misunderstand my tweets or feel offended. I have to love PMB even more and have nothing against him.”
