“ The entire people in the constituency are totally against the statement made by the lawmaker , ” he said .

Also , the APC local government chairmen of Kiru and Bebeji , Alhaji Muntari Isiyaka and Alhaji Sani Kanti -Ranka respectively, said the people of the area have a history of respect for elders .

“ We are here to inform the party leadership that the people of the constituency are not happy about the statement he made against President Muhammadu Buhari .

“ We hope the party will take the necessary punitive measures against him . ”

Responding , Abbas , the state party chairman , thanked the protesters for taking the pain to come to the state headquarters of the party .

“ This is an indication that the people of the two local government areas are in support of President Buhari and Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje. ”

He said the party would take a decision on the petition based on its constitution .
“ We will look at the party constitution and whatever it says regarding the punishment , we will apply it. ” Abbas said .
