Dogara-JibrinThe leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), apparently embarrassed by the budget padding allegation being levelled against the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara by Abdulmumin Jibrin, a member of the federal house of representatives, has ordered Jibrin not to make any further comment on budget padding.

The party gave the order in a letter signed by Lawal Shuaibu, APC deputy national chairman, North, and delivered to Jibrin on Thursday.

“As you are aware, the party, and indeed the government, has not been happy over the recent development in the house of representatives over the issue of the 2016 budget. We found it embarrassing to have to deal with another new phenomenon you tagged ‘budget padding,’” it said.

“Arising from the series of meetings we held with you over the subject matter, the national working committee had decided to request you to henceforth avoid issuing any public statement on this matter. This includes statements through social media or other means of transmitting an opinion on the matter to the public, as the party is now looking into it towards finding possible solution.”

Here is APC’s letter to Jibrin:

Since July 21 when he made his first allegation of budget-padding against Yakubu Dogara, the speaker, and three other leaders of the house, Jibrin has publicly made a series of allegations against the quartet.
