Why we sacked Appropriation C’ttee Chair – House

The House of Representatives, on Thursday, gave reasons why Chairman, House Committee on Appropriations, Rep.  Abdulmumin Jibrin was removed debunking claims that he resigned his position.

In a statement made available and signed by Chairman, House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Rep. Abdulrazaq Namdas, said that the selection committee had the prerogative to appoint and fire any committee.

According to Namdas in the statement; “Our attention has been down to media statements made by the former Chairman of House Appropriation Committee, Hon Abdulmumuni Jibrin wherein he made wild allegations against the House of Representatives and it’s leaders.

“Most of the allegations on the 2016  budget process and his opposition to immunity of Presiding officers  are non issues and mere afterthought manufactured simply because the House relieved him of his position. If he had all these ‘facts’ before ,why didnt he make them public? Why is he doing that now?
