Abdulmumin Jibrin, the suspended
member of the House of Representatives, on Thursday, met with President
Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential villa, Abuja.
Jibrin, told State House
correspondents after a closed door meeting with Buhari, that his encounter with
the president was “a meeting between a son and a father.’’
He dismissed the assertion that
he was in the villa to seek presidential intervention over his political crisis
in the House of Representatives.
He said: “I cannot comment in
that regard. The most important is that I saw him and he is a very high spirit.
I greeted like a son and he spoke to me like a father.’’
On the agitation for his recall
by some concerned individuals, Jibrin, who has been on suspension for the past
16 months, said it was only normal for people to cry for justice in the
society.
“Of course Nigerians like
justice, my constituency has been suspended for 16 months.
“So, is only normal that people
will talk and ask questions, why are we not back on the aspect of court case
that has been lingering in the court for the past 16 months.
“I think these are some of the
reasons people are raising issues in the public glare,’’ he said.
Commenting on the recent recall
of Sen. Ali Ndume by the Senate, Jibrin said his situation was similar to that
of Ndume, saying that Ndume was however lucky to be recalled.
“That is the interesting thing
about the situation. The same case, similar case, identical case was dispense
with within two months but I’m is still hanging in the court system but again I
know the Nigerian judiciary is just so I’m pretty sure that soonest I will be
able to get judgement and my constituency will soon get back to the house.’’
“For every situation like this
there is always an opportunity to learn, is a learning curve, so is fine,” the
lawmaker added.
