Former House of Representatives Chairman on Appropriation, Abdulmumin
Jibrin, has vowed not to apologize to Speaker Yakubu Dogara, over
several allegations of fraud he levelled against him and other top
officers of the green chamber.
A statement Jibrin signed on Wednesday, said he had approached the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent
Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and was
ready to submit his petition.
“Speaker Dogara has threatened legal action on me. Quite predictable.
I know he will rush to court in order to invoke the house rules that
matter in court can not be heard on the floor,” Jibrin said.
“He failed to realise that the law is not intended to protect corrupt
people. It is such a shame. I have responded to their allegations
rather than respond to mine, he is rushing to court. I stand by my
allegations, I will not withdraw them.
“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 leader 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,” he said.
