Abdulmumin Jibrin, the Former House Chairman of the Committee on Appropriation has called on the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara to resign.

Jibrin made this assertion in a series of tweets on his Twitter timeline accusing Dogara and other leaders of the Lower Chamber of corruption and essentially making an attempt to stuff the 2016 Budget.

According to Jibrin, Speaker Dogara; Deputy Speaker Lasun, Whip Doguwa; and Miinority Leader, Leo Ogor were intimidated by his “independent disposition”.

“I strongly believe with every conviction that in cleaning up the budgeting system and considering what transpired during 2016 budget which I have all the facts documented, Speaker Dogara, Deputy Speaker Lasun, Whip Doguwa and minority Leader Leo Ogor should resign.

“My inability to admit into the budget almost N30bn personal requests from Mr. Speaker & the 3 other principal officers also became an issue,” Dogara said.

The House Leadership is yet to respond to these allegations.

We shall bring you more details as soon as we get them.
