By Garba Abubakar
A coalition of civil society organisations from Kano North on Tuesday 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 the Senate President, Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Ministry of Justice to reject calls by some miscreants for the removal of the Senator as the Chairman of the Budget Committee, describing it as interference in the work of their representative.
The group expressed frustration over an alleged recruitment of non-Kano North residents to protest against their senator.
“The people of northern Kano are the ones who should call for the removal of their Senator, but for his sterling performance the people are happy with him for his actions in their area,” the group said.
Speaking to reporters in Kano, the spokesperson of the group, Amb. Iman Kabir Umar, said ” there is no senator in Nigeria who has served in his constituency like Barau Jibin, although time will not allow us to enumerate his work in its entirety.”
While listing the efforts of the Senator, Umar stressed that some of the projects he has executed to include; “the construction of the National Open University in 13 Local Government Areas, which he represents, the construction of Mini Stadiums in 13 Local Government Areas, and the renovation of General Hospitals in 13 local government of Kano North, distribution of cars, motorcycles and computers to Kano North Students, built a Police College in Kabo Local Government Area, repaired major roads in Kano North, and installed solar electric lights.
“In the 13 Local Government Areas he represents, he distributed vehicles to students, traditional rulers, Hisba and religious groups, Renovated Schools and Built causes in the 13 Local Government Areas he represents, distributed farm loan to farmers to develop Agriculture business in the 13 Local Government Areas he represents, these are just a few of the activities that the Senator has undertaken in his constituency.”
The group also lauded the senator, while assuring him of their unflinching support in his political career.
