“In the next few days, I will provide prove of shocking systemic corruption in the House and how much the House stinks under Speaker Dogara”
“I shall continue this struggle to expose corruption in the House, push for reforms and ensure that justice is served on Dogara and others”
With the above two tweets, former Chairman of Appropriation Committee, Honourable Abdulmumin Jibrin declares his unrelenting “struggle to expose corruption in the House”.
In the tweets, Jibrin even promised to reveal more sleaze perpetrated under the watch of Speaker Yakubu Dogara.

He added that he owes no one any apology over his action.
“Let me state very clearly that I will never ever apologise to anybody in the House of Reps.
“There is no reason whatsoever to apologise.
“I did not commit any offence. I did not abuse my office. For the five years I have served, I have never corruptedly enriched myself”, he wrote. [Error his]
“In contrast, these are the allegations that I raised against Mr Speaker and others which they have not responded till date.

“Despite the “suspension” the fact has not changed that the Speaker conspired with others to commit monumental budget fraud and corruption
“I stand by all the allegations I raised. I wish to state categorically that there is chronic individual and systemic corruption in the House
“It is on strength of such weak institution that Speaker continue to flaunt a fake popularity in the House since many members are culprits.” [Error his]
