Ogor had made the statement in reaction to allegations that 10 principal officers of the House, including himself had “embezzled” over N10bn allocated as “running costs” between 2003 and this year.
The officers are the Speaker, Yakubu Dogara; Deputy Speaker, Yussuff Lasun; House Leader, Femi Gbajabiamila; Chief Whip, Alhassan Ado-Doguwa; Deputy Leader, Buba Jibril; Deputy Whip, Pally Iriase; Minority Leader, Mr. Leo Ogor ;Deputy Minority Leader, Chukwuka Onyeama; Minority Whip, Yakubu Barde; and Deputy Minority Whip, Binta Bello-Maigeri.
But in a swift reaction, Jibrin via his twitter handle described Ogor as an “epitomized corruption”, adding that Ogor should rather be the one visiting the hospital in order to “get his big belly filled up with fraud and bribes deflated.”

Rather than Ogor to simply tell Nigerians what he has received if he disputes my figures, he has resorted to personal attacks on my person
