“Investigation by anti-graft agencies is already on, I pledge to support the investigation and prosecution of these corrupt public officers.”

He added that it was a “shame” that had not responded to any of the allegations raised against him but has resorted to look for a “fraudulent cover.”

Jibrin had accused Dogara and 11 others of “padding” the 2016 budget.
