It may be recalled that Jibrin was suspended on September 28, 2016 for 180 legislative days.
Since the House of Reps sits thrice in a week, Jibrin’s suspension lasted over 17 months.
At the time of his suspension and based on a motion recommended by the House Ethics Committee Chairman, Nicholas Ossai, and adopted by the entire lawmakers, the embattled Jibrin was also barred from assuming a position of authority in the current National Assembly.
Jibrin drew the ire of his fellow lawmakers when he read a speech during the plenary on July 20, 2016 alleging fraud in the budget, and afterwards revealed some documents to the media, which his colleagues considered damaging.
