Rep. Abdulmumin Jibrin, the suspended member of the House of Representatives recently met with President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential villa, Abuja.
He rejected the suggestion that he was in the villa to seek presidential intervention over his political crisis in the House of Representatives.
He said: “well, I cannot comment in that regard. The most important is that I saw him and he is a very high spirit. I greeted like a son and he spoke to me like a father.’’
“Of course Nigerians like justice, my constituency has been suspended for 16 months.
“So, 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.
Jibrin als said his situation was similar to that of Ndume, saying that Ndume was however lucky to be recalled.
He said: “Well, that is the interesting thing about the situation. The same case, similar case, identical case was dispense with within two months but my is still hanging in the court system but again I know the Nigerian judiciary is just so I’m pretty sure that soonest I will be able to get judgement and my constituency will soon get back to the house.’’
