Jibril's Constituency joins fight, sues Dogara, House over suspension.
Abdulmumin Jibrin, has alleged that Speaker Yakubu Dogara, is bribing some lawmakers with $25,000 each to sign a vote of confidence for him.
The former chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation, took to his twitter handle to tweet on Wednesday that a register was opened at the Speaker’s Asokoro Guest House at Wilbeford Juta Crescent, Abuja for lawmakers to register for a vote of confidence for the Speaker and three others.
“Fellow Nigerians, in a desperate attempt, corrupt Speaker Dogara and the three others have opened a register for a vote of confidence signature.
“The register is opened at his Asokoro guest house located at Wilbeford Juta crescent. Hon members are giving $25,000 to sign.
“This disgraceful act is coordinated by Hon Zakari Mohammed, Hon Jagaba Adams Jagaba and DCOS to Mr Speaker Hon CID Maduabum.
“My stand is that the corrupt Speaker Dogara, Lasun, Doguwa and Ogor must listen to Nigerians, reconvene the house immediately and step aside.
“Investigation by anti-graft agencies is already on and I pledge to support the investigation and prosecution of these corrupt public officers.
“I am also obliged to respond to some allegations that Iam sponsored by some external forces to destabilize the House of Representatives.
“The worthless and laughable allegation is orchestrated by Speaker Dogara and his gang of thieves to discredit my unstoppable mission,” he tweeted.
Jibrin also tweeted, “No external forces in this matter, if there are any, they deserve commendation for sponsoring a struggle to wipe out corruption in the House.
“In any case, are the external forces responsible for the massive theft and abuse of office by Speaker Dogara and the 12 other members?
“He will soon resort to religious blackmail forgetting I was the one, Muslim from northwest that spearhead & mobilize resources for his election.”
Jibrin seems to be keeping his promise of releasing allegation against Speaker Dogara on daily basis until he is prosecuted.
