Hon. Abdulmunin Jibrin, the suspended member of House of Representatives has berated the House over an attempt to frustrate his resumption from suspension having served out his 180 days suspension. Jibrin was reacting to comments credited to the Spokesman of the House, Hon. Abdulrazaq Namdas.

Namdas in a recent chat with newsmen in Abuja stated that Jibril was yet to complete his suspension and tender unreserved apology to the House before being readmitted into the Green Chamber. In a statement issued by his media aide, Jibrin said Namdas' claim was an insult to his constituents who had concluded plans to protest against the one year of brazen impunity and injustice meted on their representative.


The statement described Namdas comment as “insensitive and insult to the people of his constituency, coming on a day Kiru/Bebeji constituents gathered to further deepen their protests and mark a one year of brazen impunity and injustice meted on them and the member representing them (who it is a public knowledge committed no offence).”


”For the avoidance of doubt, I wish to state that Hon. Jibrin’s position on this issue remains, as always, immutable. He has maintained that denying his constituents representation for one good year is unconstitutional and negates all known democratic principles, just as asking him to apologize for doing no wrong is a negation of all known social norms.


“It is somewhat weird that the official spokesman of the House claims that he does not know the exact date that Hon. Jibrin’s purported suspension would lapse. That in itself speaks volume of the subterfuge and sinister motives around the whole issue.


“Hon. Jibrin is aware of sacrifices required during struggles like this. He is therefore prepared to make whatever sacrifice for the good of the House of Representatives and Nigeria as a whole, so that posterity will remember him on the good side of history.”
