In a new statement
he released this evening titled "WHY THEY ALWAYS WANTED ME OUT",
sacked chairman of the House committee on Appropriation, Abdulmumin Jibrin,
says there is massive individual and institutional corruption in the House of
Representatives. Read the statement below...
Since the corrupt
Speaker Yakubu Dogara made the public comment that padding is NOT an offense,
the question on the lips of Nigerians is why then did the same Speaker Dogara
said he "sacked" me on the grounds of padding allegations?
I have said it
repeatedly and wish to restate that I did nothing wrong and I committed no
offense. I did not abuse my office nor corruptly enrich myself in the 5 years I
have been in the House The only reason why they wanted me out is my
independent-mindedness, resistance to corruption and my refusal to "play
ball" on the gross abuse of office they institutionalized in the House.
They simply want to have someone that can do their corrupt bidding.
Now that I have
exposed the fact that Speaker Dogara and the 3 others are the padders, padding
is no longer an offense, Shame! Shame!! and shame!!! As it stands today, these
corrupt elements have infiltrated the House, making the institution a hub of
systemic corruption. I repeat, there is massive individual and institutional
corruption in the House of Representatives aided and abetted by the corrupt
Speaker Dogara. All Nigerians have a responsibility to avail themselves of this
rare opportunity to flush out corruption in the House.
I have pledged my
continuous support and assistance to the security and anti-corruption agencies.
Let me also state that contrary to some myopic opinion that it would affect the
institution of the House, it will rather free the institution of the grip of
these corrupt vested interests, restore its intergrity and shape it to become a
pride to Nigerians home and abroad.
While Speaker Dogara
and the other 12 corrupt members are running from pillar to post trying to re
define padding, avoid the anticorruption agencies, looking for cover or soft
landing, I have held several meetings with the agencies, provided useful
documents and vital information. They obviously have so much to hide, so much
to fear.
I have repeatedly
urged Speaker Dogara and his gang of 12 corrupt members to feel free and
forward any allegations they have against me to the anti-corruption agencies.
That is if they finally find something beyond the lame allegations of
"immaturity" and "betrayal", which I have dealt with in my
memoir series that will commence in a few days. To them, maturity is simply to
suppress and hide corruption. I am not in anyway immune to investigation and
prosecution if found wanting. I have pledged to stand as witness against them
on this matter; they can as well stand witness against me.
I strongly believe
that what is happening today is beyond Hon Abdulmumin or Speaker Dogara. It is
clearly from God. It is a clear sign that Almighty God has answered the prayers
of Mr President to completely wipe corruption out of Nigeria. This is what I
have always wanted to do, fight and expose corruption in the House.
I have fought
corruption internally in the House. Now, I cherish this rare opportunity to do
it externally. Yes, it is coming after I left as Chairman Appropriations which
some people still question. But does that in anyway affect the substance of the
allegations I have raised so far? As events unfold, Nigerians will come to
realise that this is what I have always wanted to do, fight corruption! I
strongly believe that God has prepared me all my life for this. It is a
non-negotiable destiny of mine.
I say to Speaker
Yakubu Dagara and the 3 other principal officers, the House of Representatives
belongs to Nigerians, listen to their voices, take a moment and listen perhaps
you will do the right thing!!! God bless.
