JIBRIN
Honorable Abdulmumin Jibrin stated that he did not expect the president
to read his speech as though he was announcing a coup d’etat - The embattled
former chairman of the Appropriations Committee noted that it was fair for
people to have ideas and expectations about what Buhari was going to say - The
president returned to the country on Saturday, August 18, after being away for
over 100 days as he tended to an undisclosed ailment in London Honorable
Abdulmumin Jibrin, the suspended member of Nigeria’s lower legislative
chambers, has also reacted to the speech delivered by President Muhammadu
Buhari, today, August 21.
In a post on his twitter handle, @AbdulAbmJ, the former chairman of the
Appropriations Committee, described the speech as one announcing a ‘coup
d’etat.
The president’s speech marked the first time he had addressed the nation
in a live broadcast since departing the country for the United Kingdom, to
treat an undisclosed illness. Buhari had been away for over 100 days and had
taken up residence at the Abuja House, London, during that time. He returned to
the country on Saturday, August 18, and was received by APC officials and some
governors at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
NAIJ.com previously reported that President Muhammadu Buhari addressed
Nigerians in a live national broadcast on August 21. There had been requests
from many Nigerians for the president to address them even while he was on
medical vacation in London.
