 Budget Scandal: Abdulmumini Meets Presidential Committee August 31

The sacked Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation, Hon. Jibrin Abdulmumini, has received an invitation from the Presidential Advisory Committee against Corruption to brief the committee on the allegations of corruption levelled against House Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, and three principal officers. 

Abdulmumini revealed this on his twitter handle on Tuesday.

“In another victory for my journey to ensure that justice is served on Speaker Dogara, Lasun, Doguwa, Ogor and 9 other members, I have received official invitation from Prof Itse Sagay SAN, Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee against Corruption to make a comprehensive presentation to the Committee on the allegations I raised against Mr Speaker and others and discuss strategies on how to achieve results. The letter was signed by Executive Secretary of the Committee  Prof Bolaji Owasanoye,” the tweets read.

It was gathered that he is expected to meet with the Prof. Itse Sagay led committee on August 31, 2016 at 11 am.

The lawmaker last week had petitioned the committee and requested to make an appearance to present his testimony.

Abdulmumini had also petitioned the police and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, accusing Dogara and others of allocating to themselves N40 billion out of the N100billion allocated to the National Assembly, and making senseless insertions into the 2016 budget.
