Jibrin says Ogor epitomises corruption, and needs a doctor to deflate his big belly of fraud

Embattled House of Representatives member, Abdulmumin Jibrin has described Leo Ogor, House Minority Leader, as an epitome of corruption “who needs a doctor to delate his fat belly full of corruption and fraud”.

Ogor, reacting to an allegation by Jibrin, the former Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, that 10 leaders of the House received and diverted about N10 billion as office running allowances, had said there is an urgent need to conduct psychiatric tests on Jibrin, to determine if he is facing health challenges.

But replying Ogor in a statement he posted on his Facebook Wall, Jibrin accused Ogor of being an embodiment of corruption and a bully who has wasted 13 years in the House.

“As we continue this process of creative destruction and sustain the momentum, I will provide a recap of all allegations raised so far later. I will also share with you a conversation with the leadership of the House created from the entire issue, so you can judge for yourself.

“As for Minority Leader, Leo Ogor a known bully, who has had 13 wasteful years in the House, he cannot believe someone is finally standing up against them.

“Ogor, epitomized corruption, he is the one not me that should visit the hospital and get his big belly filled up with fraud and bribes deflated. Ogor runs a ring of corrupt cabal in the House who specializes in hijacking committees and investigative hearing for fraudulent purposes.

“Ogor threatens with violence and treats his colleagues like school boys and has remained a curse and part of the dark history of the House. Rather than Ogor to simply tell Nigerians what he has received if he disputes my figures, he has resorted to personal attacks on my person”, Jibrin stated.

According to Jibrin, Ogor is a master of corruption who will not forgive him (Jibrin) “for the selfless and onerous role I played at ensuring he did not emerge Deputy Speaker. That would have amounted to bringing up one of the longest serving corruption mafia in the House as a presiding officer. It is a role I played and remained very proud of,” Jibrin also said.
