In a new statement he shared this afternoon, sacked House of
Representatives Appropriation committee chairman, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has
alleged that his office which was sealed yesterday by some National
Assembly officers, was to enable the Speaker Yakubu Dogara, get hold of
some implicating documents and then destroy them. Read his new
statement below...
As you may all be aware, the Sergeant-At-Arm of the National Assembly
stormed and sealed my Office on the instruction of Speaker Dogara
yesterday.
The office was purportedly sealed as a consequence of
my illegal suspension but the truth was to enable the Speaker lay hands
and destroy evidence
The media witnessed the volumes of 2016 budget documents and 53 files
that were carted away from my office and handed to Speaker Dogara. I
have exercise extreme caution and refused to touch any document in my
office since the crisis started. I have raised alarm that Dogara wants
to destroy evidence but the good news is that we have more than enough
already in case of prosecution.
The whole country watched for 2 months as Speaker Dogara was accorded
all the time he needed to lobby around, clear his desk and now destroy
evidence. Nigerians must all rise up and demand that Speaker Yakubu
Dogara produce all the 2016 budget documents and 53 files carted away
from my office.
I was not even allowed to take away my personal belongings. Hon Jibrin
must be dealt with and disgraced by all mean. Speaker Dogara is playing
God. I have become vulnerable in the face of frequent threats to my life
and some of the security personnels attached to me were suddenly
withdrew
Here we are talking about the fight against corruption. Today, Iam being
humiliated and my crime is simply exposing corruption in high places.
Who will want to take such risk in future? I have said repeatedly that
this episode is a defining moment for the fight against corruption in
Nigeria
I wish to plead to the general public that we should concentrate on the
grievous allegations I have raised rather than unfairly attacking me the
messenger. The fact that Iam raising corruption allegations does not
confer on me any immunity from being investigated if allegations are
raised against me
I have not stopped any of the 359 members of the House from signing
corruption petition against me but non has done so because there is
nothing! Only faceless and discredited individuals and groups are used
to divert attention by spreading allegations that all turned out false!
