I stand by my allegations, I will never apologize – Hon. Jibrin Dares Speaker Dogara

Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin has said he will never apologize to speaker of the

House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara over allegations of padded budget

2016.
In a series of tweets reacting to the Speaker's statements issued, Jibrin

wrote, “I will not and will never apologize to a shameless fraud in high

office who has glaringly abused public trust like speaker Dogara and 3

others”.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara in a statement

issued a while ago, gave former Chairman, House of Representative's

Committee on Appropriation, Abdulmumin Jibrin a seven-day ultimatum to

tender an unreserved apology to him and retract all allegations made

against him or face legal action.
The Kano Lawmaker representing Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency in the

National assembly described the legal action threats by Speaker Dogara as

“quite predicable”.
Jibrin wrote through his verified twitter account, “‪@AbdulAbmJ‪ I know he

will rush to court in order to invoke the house rules that matter in court

cannot be heard on the floor”.
Jibrin, an All Progressives Congress lawmaker who accused Dogara and 3

others of allocating projects worth N40bn to themselves in the 2016 budget

continued, “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”.
Mr Jibrin noted, “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 lawyer's have

approached the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences

Commission as well as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

“ 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”, he wrote.

“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”, his tweet reads.
Jibrin, had demanded the immediate resignation of Dogara and the three

other principal officers for allocating N40bn to themselves out of N100bn

earmarked for the constituency projects of all lawmakers.
