NASS SCANDAL: Dogara Offers $20,000 Bribe Each To C'ttee Members To Smear Jibrin: The Speaker Reacts

The corruption rocking the House of representative getting more alarming daily as the embattled Chairman of the appropriation committee, Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin again accused the Speaker, Yakubu Dogara of offering $20,000 each to all members of the appropriation committee to smear him over the damning corruption revelation he is disclosing about the Speaker and some principal officers.

Dogara had earlier sacked and accused Jibrin of single-handedly doctoring the 2016 budget. 

Apparently in denial of the allegation, Dogara through his Deputy Chief of Staff, CID Maduabum said he did not at any time meet or hand over any money of any sort to any member of the appropriation committee.

He said, “my attention has been drawn to a statement issued by the disgraced and sacked former chairman of appropriation committee, Abdulmumin Jibrin wherein he falsely, recklessly and maliciously claimed that I distributed $20,000 to each member of the committee to address the media where they stated their grouse against him. 

“I wish to state that I did not at any time meet or hand over any money of any sort to any member of the House Appropriation Committee. This accusation is not only a lie but pure fiction, a figment of his imagination which can only come from a man whose soul is deeply corrupted. 

“It is really shocking that this kind of despicable character could slip through the political process and become an honourable member of the House of Representatives, a highly respected institution where we all passed through. 

“This has confirmed that Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin is a serial blackmailer, a man with the basest of motives whose sanity has become questionable.”
