A former Chairman of the House ‘of Representatives Committee on
Appropriation, Abdulmumin Jibrin, on Thursday, questioned President
Muhammadu Buhari’s “inaction” following recent face-off between the Senate
and the executive.
The Senate have twice rejected the President’s nomination of Mr. Ibrahim
Magu as the substantive chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission.
The lawmakers have also put on hold the consideration of a letter from the
Presidency requesting legislative approval for the nomination of 27
Resident Electoral Commissioners for the Independent National Electoral
Commission, insisting that the names will not be considered until the
President removed Magu as Acting Chairman of the EFCC.
In series of tweets via his @AbdulAbmJ handle, Jibrin noted that President
Buhari’s inaction recently painted a picture of him that was in contrast
with that of the “no nonsense [Army] General” many Nigerians knew.
He tweeted, “History will be kind to PMB for his intergrity, building
opposition and ending insurgency but may never forgive him for his many
inactions (sic).
“PMB’s inaction are so numerous that you are tempted to doubt if he is
aware of his inactions and all the absurdity presently going on
“Is this the Muhammadu Buhari we know? the no nonsense general? Noooooo
something is wrong! if not, we would have seen more decisive actions
“Could it be PMB’s access to information and current happening is
restricted in an attempt to reduce his worries and help him fully recover?
“Could it be some powerful people are aware of this situation PMB may be
in and are taking advantage of it and/or taking things for granted?
“Well, things are not adding up! uncertainty and crisis everywhere, we are
moving too slow when we can move faster. Is the C-in-C even aware?”
