Katsina APC Rep Who Abused Buhari Under Fire

By Chuks Ekpeneru

For abusing President Muhamadu Buhari and calling for his ‘exit’, the All Progressives Congress in Mashi Local Government Area chapter has asked the member representing Mashi/ Dutsi Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Mansur Mashi, to resign.

Hon. Mashi had said the APC may not win in the next general elections due to poor performance.

He was also alleged to have said that ‘Buhari had to leave the scene the way the late (late ex-president) Yar’Adua did,’ so that his vice, Yemi Osinbajo, would take over, and that such is the only way Nigeria could make progress before 2023.

Reacting to the issue, the chairman of the Mashi chapter of the APC, Armaya’u Doka, at a press conference, called on the National Assembly to suspend the member for the untoward comment.

He said the party might have to recall the rep if he failed to resign.

According to Doka, “The audio of what the lawmaker said is out there for all to listen to. By the grace of God, the APC will win in the 2023 general elections and the party will continue to grow stronger in followership.

“We call on the APC at the state and national level to call him to order and the National Assembly (to) suspend him for making such comments.

“If our call is not heeded to, we, as members of his constituency, have the right to take necessary action that is within the law.”

The party chairman said the lawmaker had described the APC as a party that “had lost followership.”

He added, “He said that our great party, the APC is like a football team, Barcelona and Madrid. Once the match is over everyone goes his way. That APC may not win in the next general elections.
