In a new statement titled "30 Days Of The Dogara-Gate Scandal" which he released on his Facebook wall, sacked chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation, Abdulmumin Jibrin, says it would be the 10th wonder of the world if speaker Yakubu Dogara and the three principal officers of the House of Representatives are allowed to continue in office despite the allegations of budget padding he leveled against them. He called on Dogara to reconvene the House and step aside so investigations can be carried out. Read the statement below:
30 DAYS OF THE DOGARA-GATE SCANDAL
Today marks one month since we commenced the struggle to expose budget fraud and wipe out corruption in the House of Representatives. It was a month of startling revelations, 30 days of threats and intimidations and 720 hours of fervent struggle to exterminate corruption in the House.
Although it is a trite that corruption has eaten deep into the nation's fabric, but the systemic corruption in the House, especially under the corrupt leadership of Yakubu Dogara, is second to none.
My resolve to champion this cause was borne out of patriotism and desire to complement the present administration's anti-corruption war from the legislative front.
We have remained resolute and steadfast despite the blackmail, propaganda and campaign of calumny sponsored by the corrupt Speaker Dogara and his cabal, while ignoring all the allegations raised against them.
During this period, they have struggled to settle on one single allegation against me or a single reason for "sacking" me that can stand the test of truth. Everyday the reason for "sacking" me continues to change.
The truth remains that Speaker Dogara, Lasun, Doguwa, Ogor and others committed monumental fraud in the 2016 budget which can be prosecuted under our laws. We will explore all legal avenues to ensure that justice is served.
I have stated severally that Speaker Dogara and the other accused Principal Officers have completely lost the moral ground to continue in their various offices. They should, therefore, reconvene the House immediately and step aside to allow for investigation without interference. Speaker Dogara can not be a judge in his own case, as the legal maxim, nemo judex in parte sua, provides.
It will be the 10th wonder of the world if Speaker Dogara and the 3 other
Principal Officers are allowed to continue in office. It will amount to having a
corrupt man and fraudster as Speaker, as no 4 citizen under this
dispensation which has zero tolerance for corruption.
This should go concurrently with wide ranging reforms to restore the glory and honour of the House. Obviously Speaker Dogara lacks the integrity to superintend over such reforms. That is why I keep emphasizing that this whole issue is beyond Speaker Dogara.
Under Speaker Dogara, corruption in the House has gone nuclear. It is a known fact that legislative investigation is used as avenue to extort money in an organized crime aided and abetted by Mr Speaker. This situation has gone so bad that members named such investigations "commercial motions". The fact is corruption has become the biggest business in the House under Speaker Dogara and his cohorts.
I dare say corruption in the House of Representatives today is more than that of the Executive and Judiciary combined. We shall go on and continue to expose corruption and corrupt persons in the House. I have said repeatedly that I will continue this struggle even if Iam alone. I wish to commend the efforts of other comrades and colleagues, especially members of the Transparency and Integrity Group for their courage in standing for the truth. Iam confident that together we shall in the end conquer.
God bless.

Same way the ABC and its leader keep violating the rule of law is the same way this man is violating his party's instruction. Your party has asked you to keep quiet but no, you would rather disregard same. What's the difference between you and the one you accuse ?
Their headache.

What or who will stop Dogara the speaker when the Fulani herdsmen killing squad have immunity and Dogara is in Alhaji's good book
Can somebody pls talk to this fool Jubril. We re tired of his rantings. Am sure he has gone crazy
He should be in police custody by now for interrogation.
Gradually this case is going under the carpet...Buhari or efcc have refused to do anything about this.
Moron Jibrin you are pipe-dreaming. Rest assured that Dogara and other members of the National assembly you have been stigmatizing will not only remain in their positions but will eventually dance on your empty House of Reps chair. Why? Because there can be no criminal offence for an act that has not be legalized as offence. There is no law against your alleged "Budget Padding". Go and rest.
Jibril b acting like he's name now Innocent. Biko nonsense de smell me.
eh yaaaaa. poor Jubrin. beginning to sound like a broken record and clutching at straws. his timing was just too wrong and calls his own innocence into issue.
