A
member of the Nigerian House of Representatives, Abdulmumini Jibrin, has called
on President Muhammadu Buhari to resign from office on health grounds.
Mr. Jibrin, a member of
the ruling All Progressives Congress, said the president’s ill health has
affected governance in the country badly.
“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,” Mr. Jibrin tweeted Friday evening.
“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!”
Mr. Jibrin is currently
on suspension. He was sanctioned last year by the House of Representatives
after accusing the speaker, Yakubu Dogara, his former ally, of budget fraud.
Mr. Buhari recently
returned from the United Kingdom where he stayed for more than a month for
medical treatment for an undisclosed illness.
Mr. Jibrin, who posted
30 tweets Friday evening, started by saying “PMB, TIME
TO LET GO: So many issues are left unattended even small issues that a
presidential cough can deal with are left hanging”.
The lawmaker represents Kiru/Bebeji Federal constituency of
Kano State.
