Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, says his attention has been drawn to statement issued by Hon Abdulmumin Jibrin, where he “said that I gave money to some people to tell the truth about his Foreign Account they discovered in the UK”.

Hon. C.I.D. Maduabum, Dogara’s Deputy Chief of Staff, in a statement on Monday noted that his principal denies the “new allegation and denounce it as the hallucination of a deranged psychopath, a drowning man who is catching on all straws to rescue himself from the deep hole he is in.”

“This has shown once again that corruption and lies are an essential part of Hon Jibrin’s DNA. He obviously thinks that everybody must be bribed to act patriotically to expose his corruption and nefarious activities.

“I feel sorry for the media that unwittingly play into his hands by publishing his continuously false and libelous vituperations. Hon Jibrin is so unintelligent that he has not seen that his pattern is an open one.

“Once you say anything against him, he immediately manufactures some imaginary bribe being given to the person by persons he picks at a whim. I have chosen to respond once again not because Hon Jibrin is worthy of a reply but just to set the records straight,” the statement from Dogara’s office concluded.
