The former chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has challenged Speaker of the House, Yakubu Dogara and other principal officers accused of padding the budget to address the corruption allegations he filed against them.

Jubrin said the press briefing held by House Spokesman, Abdulrazak Namdas, on Monday tactically failed to address the issue but accused him of immaturity and incompetence.

He, however, dared the Speaker to reconvene the House where the issue would be addressed.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, the lawmaker said, “Why did you take the decision to fraudulently shortchange the House by taken away 40 billion naira out of the 100 billion naira allocated for constituency projects and distributing same to yourself and others without the approval of the House?

“Why did you approach the former House Appropriation Chairman with written personal requests and list of about 30 billion naira to be inserted into the 2016 budget and his inability to get that done caused a major rift between you all and him?

“Why did you insert wasteful projects of about 20 billion naira for your various constituencies despite the former appropriation chairman professional advice against such?

“Why did you ignore his complaint to you that just about 10 standing committees of the House inserted over 2,000 projects worth 284 billion naira?

“Why did you take away the Appropriation Committee secretariat on two occasions where several insertions were made into the budget and created avoidable tension during the budget process?”

Dis guy is spoiling for a show down; why are they hiding behind cupboards.

They should come out and answer if they are guiltless now?

There's that guilty silence where everyone's feigning ignorance but the whole room knows something's up.

Suddenly from everybody blabbing at once about Dino & Remi just a fortnight ago, both houses seemed to have gotten their tongues nicked now.
It's bad, really.

Legislooters and dishonorable men.. .
