By Garba Abubakar
A coalition of civil society groups in Kano North has expressed outrage over the alleged abuse of Senator Barau Jibrin by “some miscreants at the National Assembly.”
Leaders of the Voice of Kano North called on President Muhammadu Buhari, leaders of the National Assembly and the Ministry of Justice to reject calls by some individuals for the removal of the Senator as the Chairman of the Budget Committee, Funds of the National Senate, which they referred to as interference in the work of their representative.
The group expressed frustration over the alleged recruitment of a small number of non-Kano North residents to protest against the senator.
Speaking to newsmen in Kano, the spokesperson of the group, Ambassador Iman Kabir Umar, said “there is no senator in Nigeria who has served in his constituency like Barau Jibin.”
He listed some of the projects executed by the senator to include the construction of the National Open University in 13 Local Government Areas, the construction of Mini Stadiums in 13 Local Government Areas, and the renovation of General Hospitals in 13 local government areas of Kano North, distribution of cars, motorcycles and computers to Kano North Students, the building of a Police College in Kabo Local Government Area, renovation of major roads in Kano North, and installation of solar electric lights, etc.
The groups expressed gratitude to the senator and promised to keep supporting him.
