However, in a swift reaction, the spokesman of the House, Abddulrazak Namdas, accompanied by 15 members of the North-West caucus in the house, said Jibrin’s claims were false.
He said: “The speaker decided to meet with leaders of all caucuses to discuss the way forward on the current recession and the way forward when the House resumes.
“Allegation that the speaker begged for forgiveness and that members of North-West caucus passed a vote of no confidence on the Chief Whip, Rep. Ado Doguwa, is not true.
“That the meeting was done in bad light was not true as well; Jibrin has made these allegations before and has not said anything new.
“This house has its resolutions; we have our process and will commence its work soon.
“None of us is above the rule we have set. If Jibrin has issues, let him put up a motion and if he has the numbers then so be it.”
Another member, Ahmed Mustapha, who attended the meeting, said that 21 out of 24 lawmakers from Kano endorsed a vote of confidence on the leadership of the house.
He said: “In the North-East, Gombe state has passed 100 per cent vote of confidence on the speaker while about 85 per cent of all the members of the House has passed a vote of confidence on the leadership,” he said.
