Abdulmumin Jibrin, a member of the federal house of representatives, has vowed to “exposing” Yakubu Dogara, the speaker, until he is removed.
Jibrin started slamming allegations of corruption against Dogara and other members of the house leadership when he was removed as the chairman of the appropriations committee last week.
On Wednesday, Dogara had given him seven days to apologise for the allegations or face a lawsuit, but the legislator vowed not apologise to Dogara, instead calling the speaker a “shameless fraud”.
Continuing on Thursday, Jibrin accused Dogara of diverting a federal government project to his farm in Nasarawa.

“When a new speaker emerges and the other principal officers replaced, I will write to the presiding officers of both chambers to commence a radical internal reform in the entire national assembly beyond budget to cover performance assessment, running cost and allowances, investigations etc
“If the reform so done on the national assembly is not made public latest by December, I will shall take it up and lay before the general public even if I am alone.
“The idea is to do a clean up, flush out corruption and corrupt members so that in 2019 only corrupt-free people who want to serve will come in.”

this guy does not want to go down alone, the speaker should beware because he who is down fears no fall. the guy is already down but many may go down with him chief among them Mr Speaker. #God bless Nigeria.
This is how Nigerian politicians had been silently enriching themselves. Ripping and empoverishing this country for long.
No wonder campaigning and fighting for political office is a do or die affair.
