The suspended Chairman of Appropriation Committee of the House of Representatives, Hon Abdulmumin Jibrin, has taken a legal battle against his suspension and described it as ridiculous, a non-issue, bunch of nonsense and completely inconsequential that cannot stand anywhere in the world.

Despite the suspension which was announced yesterday, Jibrin had vowed to, in the next few days, provide prove of shocking systemic corruption in the House and how much the House stinks under the Speaker, Yakubu Dogara.

According to Jibrin, “I shall continue this struggle to expose corruption in the House, push for reforms and ensure that justice is served on Dogara and others.

“The so called suspension is ridiculous, a non-issue, bunch of nonsense and completely inconsequential that cannot stand anywhere in the world.”

Further annoyed by the suspension, he said he had instructed his lawyer, Femi Falana SAN, to file charges of contempt against Speaker Dogara and, of course, the House of Representatives.

On his Twitter page monitored, he admitted that he would never tender apology to anybody in the House of Representatives as there is no reason whatsoever to apologise.

He said: “I did not commit any offense. I did not abuse my office. For the five years I have served, I have never corruptedly enriched myself. In contrast, these are the allegations that I raised against Mr Speaker and others which they have not responded to till date.

He added that 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 continues to flaunt a fake popularity in the House, since many members are culprits,” Jibrin added.
