The former Chairman, Committee on
Appropriation, House of Representatives, Abdulmumini Jibrin has spoken for the
first time since he was recalled from suspension.
Jibrin was recalled on Tuesday,
following a letter of apology he wrote to the House which was announced during
plenary by Speaker, Yakubu Dogara.
“Today, I resumed representation
of my constituency and legislative duties at the House of Reps.
“The experience of the last 2
years has prepared me even better to rededicate my self towards service of our
country. I thank you for your support. I remain eternally grateful. A Jibrin,”
he tweeted on Wednesday night.
Jibrin was suspended September
16, 2016 for 180 legislative days over budget padding allegations.
The lawmaker from Bebeji/Kiru
federal constituency of Kano state had accused Dogara, Deputy Speaker, Yusuf
Lasun, Chief Whip Alhassan Doguwa, Minority leader Leo Ogor and nine Committee
Chairmen of padding the 2016 budget to the tune of N40bn.
He also alleged that most members
of the House diverted N10bn in running cost that was not part of their salaries
over the years.
