Embattled former chairman of the House Committee on Appropriation on Wednesday raised 20 questions for Speaker Yakubu Dogara bordering on the unfolding budget padding scandal.

Mr. Jibrin said Mr. Dogara must respond to the questions individually. The House was thrown into chaos following a decision the leadership took to remove Mr. Jibrin as Appropriation Committee chairman last week Wednesday.

Speaker Yakubu Dogara said Mr. Jibrin was removed because he allegedly betrayed the House and lacked competence in steering the committee.
Mr. Jibrin, however, said he stepped down willingly and denied the charges that he committed treachery and lacked competence.

The 20 questions are as follows:

1. Why did you take the decision to fraudulently shortchange the House by taken away 40 billion naira out of the 100 billion naira allocated for constituency projects and distributing same to yourself and others without the approval of the House?
2. Why did you approach the former house appropriation chairman with written personal requests and list of about 30 billion naira to be inserted into the 2016 budget and his inability to get that done caused a major rift between you all and him?
3. Why did you insert wasteful projects for your various constituencies worth about 20billion naira despite the former appropriation chairman professional advice against such?


4. Why did you ignore his complaint to you that just about 10 standing committees of the House inserted over 2000 projects worth 284 billion naira?
5. Why did you take away the appropriation committee secretariat on two occasions where several insertions were made into the budget which created avoidable tension during the budget process?
6. Why did you direct the former appropriation chair which he rejected to create a strange line item in the service wide vote to allow for a 20 billion naira insertion into the budget under the name of NASS using a former PDP Senator and top politician?
7. Why are you trying to scam members with a fraudulent arrangement to deduct monthly from money meant for members office running cost to fund a so called mortgage arrangement?
8. Why did you abuse your office in a conflict of interest directed an agency to grant loans and a construction company to work on your Asokoro plot and arrange frequent private meetings with heads of MDA’s?
9. Why did you allocate to yourselves the entire 20% inputs reserved for the House after the harmonization exercise?
10. How much did you collect for rent of house and guests houses and how much did Hon Herma Hembe steal from the money that caused the outburst of Lasun?

11. why are you trying to drag the entire House and illegally using the official spokesman of the House into allegations that were made on you and the 3 others ONLY?
12. Why did you consistently block the former chairman appropriation from briefing Hon members and denied him his right to be heard by his colleagues on this matter?
13. Why did you scuttle his effort and Sen Goje’s to assist Mr. President after working so hard consulting ministers on the budget out of envy and vindictiveness that Mr. President granted them audience without you?
14. Why did you insist and ensured that the immunity clause for the House principal officers is inserted into our agenda despite huge resistance from members and the general public?
15. Why did you connive with 5 other members of the House to use some elements of the Nigerian police and thugs in an attempt to blackmail, kidnap, intimidate and silence him and his family?
16. Why are you desperately going round media houses offering money to silent the statements of the former appropriation chairman?
17. Why has it taken you this long to put together such a lame storyt of why you “sacked” the former appropriation chairman after admitting on national TV that he resigned?
18. Is it true that you left a huge mess and allegations of money laundering against you as chairman House services both in the 6th and 7th House?
19. Why have you refused to open up the financial dealings and details of internal budget of the House to your colleagues, Hon members?
20. Why do you have problems with reconvening the House immediately to allow for an independent investigation on the allegations?

Jibrin is refusing to go quietly

Jibrin is down, since he helped Dogara up, he is intent on pulling him down to join him....

Dogara is all kind of dirty, that goes without saying but one salient point and lesson in all these is that; when Jibrin was smearing Femi Gbaja's character to favour Dogara's candidature, he should have remembered that what goes around comes around.

Call them polithieifians u ar right:
If u call them legislooters instead of legislative u are not far from the truth:
If u say NASS means National Association of Serial Stealers my person u ar a genius.
Hmm if wl change their title from honorable to dishonorable 5stars for u.

Naija polithieicians does not worth fighting for so I pity an average naija like who do insult themselves on ppu who didn't care abt us. Nigerian won't av kno abt ds padded budget if not that there is misunderstanding btw Dogara and Jibrin.

My prayer is that may lord put confusions in the camp of any leaders who are denying us d basics need of life IJN.

Mido ooo , he will return in 2019 to kontinu! I'm sure he must be ruing making Jibrin Appropriation chair but what choice does he have since Jibrin was the hatchet man of the anti Gbaja gang..

Sometimes, you don't need to fight your enemies, your ori and eleda does a better, cleaner and sweeter job., ,

Eleyi ni won pe ni, owo ara won, ni won ma fun rawon logun je..

We are waiting for answers.

All of them are thieves and are guilty but they have to put the blame on someone, someone would definitely have to take the fall.
that is why when people are calling Buhari baba goslow I never blamed him although he himself might be corrupt to some extend, but he definitely did not trust anybody because all those we see as saint are proven or suspected as thieves in the likes of
Buratai,
Dogara,
Danbazzau and co.

Footballers...€300,000 per week
Musicians..... €300,000 3 months
Civil servants.... €300,000 in 30yrs
Nollywood actors&actresses.... €300,000 in 10 yrs
Doctors... €300,000 in 20 yrs
Nigeria polithiefians.... €300,000 with pen and biro in 5 secs
May God expose them all....
God bless nigeria and nigerians indeed
God bless my fellow nairalanders indeed

Answer !

God is cleaning up this country gradually. We should scrap the SENATE and House of Representatives for a while abeg

I dey wait him reply

Where is Gbajabiamila all this while!

how will Nigeria ever move forward? time he should use working towards the country's advancement, he's spending strategising how he will drain this country within a year...

Guilty or not, Dogara should resign honorably...In a sane country, controversies surrounding Budget padding should have seen the National Assembly leaders resigning.

During a random poll in US in 2014 to rate their senate, about 75% Americans rated cockroach and head lice higher than their congress men...(imagine?)

imagine how they will rate Nigerian legislature?

No wonder Nigerians preferred STONE in a mock poll recently..

Someday soon if the trend of massive thievery and looting of the treasury in form of budget padding persist, 1789 French revolution may just rear its ugly head in Nigeria because the masses are already being stretched beyond their limit..

Hmmm

Let the roof cave in , so the truth
shall surface

This sorta humongous and
heartless looting has been hapening
for ages @ NASS right?

Fellaz this part of the change we
voted for, nuh business as usual.

Jibrin vs dogara, a case dah shud keenly be monitored for the purpose of exposing dah shady dealings nd paddy paddy paddlings happening

God heal dis nation

Paperwhite:
They all belong to your APC's coven of "sinless saints" Dog eat dog.These are the "Change"chanter that see themselves as immaculately clean politically right? Birds of the same plumage flocks together you know.

C'mon!!! Must we draw politics to matters affecting the polity

NO! I won't give up on my country, I've given up long before the so-called future though

It sucks how we reason,gosh!!!!really it is

exactly...
he refused to think about the future knowing fully well that mind/heart is deceptive and come to say it's the mind/heart of politicians.

These people are pure criminals

This fight is real

Gbajabiamila as the new speaker loading.....................................................................80%

What will be will be, It's just a matter of time

Hmmmmmm! Secrets are unfolding and now we are knowing those who are intending yam eaters.

I don't think Buhari is firmly sincere with his anti-corruption crusade. Why hasn't he ordered the probe of the Speaker?

There must be one truth in all he has listed. Therefore, mr. Dogara is not as pure as he wants people to see him. In conclusion, we haven't found the saint
