Former Appropriation Committee Chairman, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has written the leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, begging for forgiveness for the role he played in the election of Yakubu Dogara as Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Jibrin, in his letter dated 12th August, 2016 and addressed to the APC national chairman, Chief John Oyegun, maintained that he has not committed any offence by exposing the dirty linen of Dogara.

He also noted that since joining the House of Representatives, he has not abused his office nor corruptly enriched himself.

Jibrin said, “In a nutshell, it will be dangerous and potentially disastrous for the party to keep Speaker Yakubu Dogara on that seat.

“I wish to state that I deeply regret the role I played in the emergence of Yakubu Dogara as Speaker. I seek the understanding and forgiveness from you, our leaders and every member of the APC family that was hurt by my action. Thank God Almighty, I am young and energetic.

“I will be 40 on September 9th. I promise that moving forward, I will dedicate and completely commit myself to achieving the goals set out by the party. This case should serve as a lesson for everyone in the future.

“I have pledged maximum cooperation to the anti-corruption agencies and I will provide them with guide and assistance on how to unravel all these crime and theft against Nigerians.”

Speaking further, Jibrin advised the leadership of the APC on ways to sanitise the party, amongst which are to: “direct Speaker Yakubu Dogara to reconvene the House and step down with other accused Principal Officers immediately to allow for internal and external investigation without interference so that sanity will return.

“Discuss on the possibility of returning the 100billion constituency component of the budget under any of our laws so that all stolen money can be returned particularly the 40billion naira and equitably distributed to all constituencies,” he said.
