BEVERLY HILLS, April 03, (THEWILL) – Deputy Speaker of the House of SAN Representatives, Mr. Yusuf Lasun
believes that suspended member of the House, Abdulmumin Jibrin, does not have the competence to ask for the resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari over the state of the latter’s health.
The deputy speaker, who stated this in Osogbo on Sunday at the empowerment programme he organised for some of his constituents, said it was wrong for the former chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations to ask Buhari to resign because he was nursing some ailments.
He said Buhari’s health condition had not in any way negatively affected the running of the government, pointing out that Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo was very effective when the President was indisposed and that other arms of government had been functioning very well.
Lasun added that the legislature and the judiciary, as well as the executive, were still functioning very well despite that the President was away for some weeks.
“Leaders, all over are suffering from one ailment or the other. Why will Buhari resign? Is the National Assembly and the judiciary not working?
“Jibrin is just 40 years, he lacks the experience. If he has anything to suggest, he should write to the President but he is not competent to ask him to resign,” he said.
Jibrin had last Friday called on Buhari to step down based on his health condition, adding that the illness of the President has cost the country a lot.
