Suspended member of the House of Representatives, Abdulmumin Jibrin,
who has revealed that some people have started questioning the authority
of the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo.
Jibrin, took to his Twitter account, @AbdulAbmj, to air his views,
saying that there may be cracks in the government if “some people” start
questioning Osinbajo’s orders as Acting President.
In a series of tweets on Monday, Jibrin said some people run to see
President Muhammadu Buhari in London, where he is on vacation, to ask if
he agrees with instructions given by the Acting President.
Jibrin advised Buhari to trust the decisions of his vice, “because it would make him more effective.”
He wrote, “I know that VP Osinbajo will come under subterranean
attacks and his crime is he has no corruption allegations on him like
others. VP Osinbajo has carried on with grace and dignity building a
momentum that the country can cash in and accelerate to regain lost
mileage.
“We must repel primordial interests promoted by some selfish people
who are planting stories of fear & instability where there should be
non. So you hear stories of what if the president dies? Is dead meant
for only PMB? Who will not die? Who? Osinbajo? Saraki? Dogara or Jibrin?
“Constitution is explicitly clear on succession. If a president dies,
VP takes over. If VP dies, President nominates. If Senate president. Or
Speaker dies, senators and members elect new ones. If a member dies, by
election is conducted. So why the panic? Evil ones are at work.
“We should pray for quick recovery of PMB but shift our attention to
governance of our country, hold on our institutions and constitution. I
do not believe that there is anybody in this govt that wants success for
it more than the VP…PMB must beware of divisive elements.
“When Osinbajo gives instruction and you have people running to
London to ask PMB if that is what he wants, you may start having cracks.
My advice to PMB is to rely strongly on his VP & refer all issues
and persons to him until he resumes. This will make the VP more
effective.
“In this era when our first 11 except PMB are facing several
corruption allegations, VP Osinbajo brings some fresh air and
credibility. We should support the VP to hold our country together and
continue the good work he has started while praying for safe return of
PMB.
“I will make comments in due course on the VP’s residence project
,Senate P and Speaker’s residence projects and the 2016 and 2017
budgets.”
