….As President meets
suspended Rep, Jibrin
By Johnbosco
Agbakwuru
ABUJA – THE Imam of
the Aso Villa Mosque,
Sheik Abdulwahid
Suleiman on Thursday
led other Muslim faithful
who converged at the
mosque in the afternoon
to offer a special prayer
for the speedy recovery
of the President’s son.
Yusuf Buhari
This is as the
Presidency keeps
secret the condition of
Yusuf Buhari, saying it is
a security matter.
Meanwhile, palpable
anxiety continued
Thursday over the state
of health of the
President’s son who
was involved in a
motorbike accident in
Abuja, Tuesday night.
Yusuf, was said to have
sustained a head injury
in the accident and had
one of his limbs broken.
He later underwent a
successful surgery at a
private hospital in Abuja.
There were unconfirmed
reports making the
rounds that he was
flown abroad in the
early hours of Thursday
for further medical
attention.
However, Senior Special
Assistant to the
President on Media and
Publicity, Garba Shehu,
said there was no truth
in the report.
He said, “That is not true
please.”
Recall that the media
aide had in a statement
on Wednesday said,
“Yusuf Buhari had a bike
accident last night
around Gwarimpa in the
Federal Capital
Territory, Abuja.
“He broke a limb and
had an injury to the head
as a result. He has
undergone surgery at a
clinic in Abuja. He is in a
stable condition.
“The President and his
wife, Mrs Aisha
Muhammadu Buhari, are
thankful to Nigerians for
the good wishes and
prayers for their son,”
the statement said.
Suspended Rep Jibrin
meets Buhari in closed-
door
Former Chairman of the
House of
Representatives
Committee on
Appropriation,
Abdulmumuni Jibrin was
at the State House,
Abuja yesterday where
he met with President
Muhammadu Buhari.
Addressing State House
Correspondents after
the closed door meeting
the lawmaker who
represented Kiru/Bebeji
Federal Constituency of
Kano State before his
suspension,said his visit
to the Presidential Villa
was to pay homage to
the President whom he
considers his father.
Jibrin, who parried the
question on whether he
was in the villa to seek
President Buhari’s
intervention over his
predicament in the
parliament was
suspended by the House
of Representatives in
2016, after he alleged
that the Yakubu Dogara-
led leadership was
engaged in fraud.
“Well, I cannot comment
in that regard. The most
important is that I saw
him and he is in a very
high spirit. I greeted him
like a son and he spoke
to me like a father,” he
said.
On the call for his recall
by his constituents, the
former lawmaker
described the
development as
“normal” in any
democratic setting, while
also noting that his
experience was “a
learning curve.”
He however admitted of
a massive campaign by
his constituents to get
his suspension upturned
by the court and
parliament.
“Of course Nigerians like
justice, my constituency
has been suspended for
16 months, so it 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.
He likened his
predicament to that of
the Senator
representing Borno
South, Ali Ndume, who
was also suspended but
recently recalled by the
Senate on the orders of
the Court.
He wondered why his
case was being delayed
by the judiciary.
“The same case, similar
case, identical case was
dispensed with within
two months; but I am
still hanging in the court
system. But again, I
know the Nigerian
judiciary is just, so I am
pretty sure that soonest
I will be able to get
judgement and my
constituency will soon
get back to the house,”
he said.
The former lawmaker
said he took advantage
of the visit to
sympathise with
President Buhari over
the son, Yusuf’s
motorbike accident on
tuesday.
Also, President Buhari
on Thursday met behind
closed doors with
Senator Kabiru Gaya
who told newsmen that
his mission to the villa
was to thank the
President on his recent
visit to Kano State. |

Goodluck Jonathan remains the only President till date who didn't die or lost someone close while in Aso rock villa. The Lord was with Jonathan. Buhari should repent from his sins and seek the face of God. |
