My attention has been drawn to a Statement issued by the disgraced and sacked former Chairman of Appropriation Committee , Hon Abdulmumin Jibrin, wherein he falsely, recklessly and maliciously claimed that I distributed $20,000 to each member of the Committee to address the media where they stated their grouse against him. I wish to state that I did not at any time meet or hand over any money of any sort to any member of the House Appropriations Committee. This accusation is not only a lie but pure fiction, a figment of his imagination, which can only come from a man whose soul is deeply corrupted. It is really shocking that this kind of despicable character could slip through the political process and become an Honourable member of the House of Representatives, a highly respected institution, where we all passed through. This has confirmed that Hon Abdulmumin Jibrin, is a serial blackmailer, a man with the basest of motives, whose sanity has become questionable. For the avoidance o...

All the accusations they leveled against me are not in any way different from the bunch of lies contained in the shameless statement released by Speaker Dogara and the 3 other principal officers through Hon Namdas which I have fully provided response. But to prove my innocence, I have resolved that I will respond to any accusation or allegation leveled against me until like the corrupt Speaker Dogara, rather than respond to the 25 allegations I leveled against him and others, he has resorted to use legal gimmicks to stall the allegations. Mr Speaker, you cannot swipe such hefty allegations under the carpet. You think Nigerians are not watching? First, only 9 out of the 40 appropriation committee members agreed to participate in such a dishonorable press conference after  shamelessly collecting $20,000 each distributed to them yesterday at the Speakers residence by his Deputy Chief of staff Hon CID Maduabum. My same Deputy Hon Chris Azubogu ( you will remember his history with Hon ...

The appropriation committee of the house of representatives has said that the former chairman of the committee, Abdulmumin Jibrin worked on the 2016 budget with a consultant in an undisclosed location for three weeks. The Deputy Chairman of the committee, Chris Azubogu, stated this when he spoke to journalists in Abuja. He explained that based on Jibrin's unilateral decisions on behalf of the committee, complains were made to speaker that he should be removed from his position as chairman. He added Jibrin allotted all decisions to himself without conferring with members. He stated that for the avoidance of doubt, a comprehensive collation of the reports of the budget from the various standing committees of the house was done by the appropriation committee which was in the process of deliberation when the ousted chairman unilaterally hi-jacked the entire budget to a hideout with his consultant without the consent of the committee. While stating that there was no offence known t...

He, however, said the Majority Leader, Femi Gbajabiamila, and three other principal officers were not part of the secret deal, adding that the budget inputs inserted on their names were exclusively carried out by the speaker, his deputy, Yussuff Lasun; Chief Whip, Ado Doguwa and the Minority Leader, Leo Ogor.

Nigeria has been indicted in the investigation of pro-coup detainees after a July 15 military coup attempt in Turkey. A Nigerian bank was said to have been used by the suspected coup plotters, to manage more than $2 billion money used for planning the coup. This is expected to affect diplomatic ties between the two countries and the leaders, Nigerian Muhammadu Buhari and Turkish Recep Tayyip Erdogan. According to reports from the Turkish media, the Nigeria branch of the United Bank of Africa (UBA) was the main base for the last six-months of money transactions for the coup plotters.

According to reports, Jacques’ throat was cut off before being shot dead.
