Jibrin is the suspended Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation
Jibrin, who hails from Kano State, made this known on his Twitter handle on Friday
It would be recalled that Jibrin, the former Chairman, House Committee on Appropriation, accused the leadership of the National Assembly of padding the 2016 budget
This was contained in a statement Jibrin issued on Wednesday after the House resolved to investigate him over his allegations against four principal officers of padding the 2016 budget
The position of the Presidency was made known by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate), Senator Ita Enang; and the Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly Matters, Ismail Kawu
Jibrin said in a statement: “First, only nine out of the 40 appropriation committee members agreed to participate in such a dishonorable press conference after shamelessly collecting $20,000 each distributed to them two days ago at the Speaker’s residence by his Deputy Chief of staff Hon CID Maduabum. My same Deputy Hon Chris Azubogu (you will remember his history with Hon Hembe in the 7th Assembly) who was used to organize the press conference was clearly on camera almost crying at the press conference where I announced my resignation
This time around, Jibril alleged that Dogara connived with a highly-placed Peoples Democratic Party politician to work on the 2016 Budget
He was immediately replaced
However, the Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriation, Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin, who spoke on behalf of National Assembly on the 2016 budget, said the Lagos-Calabar railway line was never captured in the budget sent by the Executive
The Co-Chairman of Appropriation in National Assembly, Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin, who made this disclosure, added that it would be unpatriotic of National Assembly to forward the budget details without being extra-careful, meticulous and cautious in discharging its duties
While congratulating President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, for his success at the poll, he also commended President Goodluck Jonathan “for the gracious act of conceding defeat and accepting the results”
The Chairman of the Committee, Rep. Abdulmumin Jibrin (APC-Kano), made the call when the committee visited the commission on oversight function
