Suspended member of the House of Representatives, Abdulmumin
Jibrin, has said Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has the power to order the
arrest of Senate President Bukola Saraki and Speaker Yakubu Dogara.
Jibrin was reacting to news that the Senate
tried unsuccessfully to declare Saraki as Acting President.
In a series of tweets posted on Friday, the lawmaker called
on Osinbajo to “send a strong signal that under his watch nobody can push
Nigeria towards anarchy.”
He also backed the Acting President’s stance on Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) chairman, Ibrahim Magu and claims it “saved
the fight against corruption.
Jibrin wrote: “Ag President Yemi Osinbajo saved the fight
against corruption by standing firmly with Magu.
We must all support him to
sustain the momentum.
“Magu is upright and has shown rare courage in the face of
blackmail and intimidation. He must go ahead and continue his job ruthlessly.
“The Ag President must with immediate effect order the
arrest and prosecution of some politicians that are making treasonable
statements.
“Those promoting such reckless statements must know Ag
President has powers to arrest any body be you no. 3, 4 or 10 citizen if found
wanting.
“The constitution is explicitly clear and any attempt to
subvert it must be dealt with decisively by the Ag President and Commander in
Chief.
“While we pray for quick recovery and return of PMB, Ag P
must send a strong signal that under his watch nobody can push Nig towards
anarchy!”
