Suspended member of the House of Representatives, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has accused the Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, of collecting $600,000 from James Ibori, despite the speaker releasing a statement shortly after the release of the former Governor from a UK prison that he has no relationship whatsoever with him.
Jibrin, a former Chairman, House Committee on Appropriation, claimed on Saturday that Ibori donated the money to Dogara’s campaign from prison in 2015 to support his bid to become the speaker. The suspended lawmaker claimed in a statement that he chose to be silent lately to strategise on his crusade in the new year.
