Budget padding: Dogara, Lasun, Ogor will be arrested soon – Jibrin

Former House of Representatives Appropriations Chairman, Abdulmumin Jibrin has said that Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, Deputy Speaker, Yussuff Lasun; and Minority Leader, Leo Ogor will soon be arrested by anti-graft agencies and charged for corruption.

He said he was confident this would happen because of the weighty petitions he submitted to the agencies against them.

Jibrin boasted that many Nigerians had expressed support for his campaign and were worried that Dogara was yet to be arrested.

“For the avoidance of doubt, let me restate that I have interacted severally with anti-corruption agencies.

“It is, however, heartwarming to know that they are indeed working meticulously on the matter.

“I have little doubt that they will do justice expeditiously and sooner than letter, we will get to the point where every Nigerian is waiting for — the arrest of Speaker Dogara.

“Nigerians must remain vigilant because Speaker Dogara is using his office to obstruct and neutralise investigation.

“He is also using same and the time he has now before the long arm of the law catches up with him to hurriedly clean up the mess on his desk, spend money on all sort of consultants and people he thinks can help him out through subterranean means.

“On our side, while waiting for the response of our great party, the All Progressives Congress, on my letter, we are reaching out to everyone or group that can support this worthy cause against Dogara-Gate, the biggest corruption case in the history of our country.”
