The Federal High Court in Abuja, has refused to hear a fundamental rights enforcement suit brought before it by the former Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation, Jibrin Abdulmumin.
The ousted former chairman of the House of Representatives committee on appropriation, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has added another name to the list of corrupt lawmakers in the House of Representatives.
Abdulmumin Jibrin, the ousted Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation, has described as shameful the threat of Speaker Yakubu Dogara to sue him for damages over corruption allegations he made against him and some other principal officers of the house.
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has called for thorough investigation into the allegation of budget padding by the leadership of the Federal House of Representatives.
He expressed this opinion while speaking with journalists after a closed-door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the state house on Monday.
The brouhaha surrounding the removal of the Abdulmumin Jibrin as Chairman of the House of Representatives’ Committee on appropriation, by the Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, is anything but over.
