Dogara Is A Shameless Fraud, I Will Never Apologize…..Jubrin

Former Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has described the Speaker of House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, as a shameless fraud in high office.

Jibrin on his twitter handle insisted that he will never apologise to Dogara over allegations of the padded 2016 budget.

In a series of tweets in reaction to Dogara’s threat to sue him if he does not apologise, Jibrin wrote: “I will not and will never apologise to a shameless fraud in high office who has glaringly abused public trust like Speaker Dogara and three others.”

The Kano State lawmaker, representing Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency, described the legal action threats by Dogara as “quite predicable”.

Jibrin tweeted: “I know he will rush to court in order to invoke the House rules that matter in court cannot be heard on the floor.

“I have responded to their allegations rather than respond to mine, he is rushing to court. I stand by my allegations and will not withdraw them.

“He failed to realize that the law is not intended to protect corrupt people. It is such a shame.”

The unperturbed Kano lawmaker also announced that his lawyers have approached the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission as well as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

Dogara said: “I am happy to announce that my lawyers have officially approached the EFCC and the ICPC towards working out a date for me to personally submit my petition against Speaker Yakubu Dogara, Deputy Speaker Yusuf Lasun, Whip Alhassan Doguwa and Minority Leo Ogor.

“I believe once a date is agreed with the anti-corruption agencies, we would have begun the process of making these characters pay for abusing their office.”
