The All Progressives Congress (APC) has invited the former Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriation, Rep. Abdulmumin Jibrin over allegations of the padded budget.
Mr Jibrin, who said he will honour the invitation despite his “tight schedules”, however noted that the invitation “did not in anyway indicate it is a disciplinary committee”.
The Party had stated that it has made several attempt to reach Mr Jibrin through calls and text messages, but he maintained that “it would have been very difficult for me to attend because of an attempt by the quartet of Speaker Dogara and others, who were determined to kidnap me until few days when my lawyers requested and got maximum protection for me from the DSS and police”.
Mr Jubrin expressed optimism that the “APC will do will do the rightful thing by throwing its weight to support our resolve to wipe out corruption in the House and direct Speaker Dogara, Dep Lasun, Whip Alhassan Doguwa and Minority Leader, Leo Ogor, to reconvene the House immediately and Step down and face their imminent prosecution and save the party and our dear country from further embarrassment”, he said via his twitter account.
