In a statement he shared on his Facebook page, Jibrin said he has sent a letter to all the lawmakers asking them to return the money to the Clerk of the House.
With regards to the Presiding and Principal Officers, Jibrin says he has given them 72 hours ultimatum to make public the total amount they have received as running cost in their entire stay in the House and failure of which he will proceed with necessary legal action to compel them to make the total amount each of them have received public. According to him, Nigeria is currently facing economic recession and so needs all of such money. Read the statement below...
I
HAVE COMMENCED THE PROCESS OF EXPOSING THE RUNNING COST AND ALLOWANCES
OF MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND SYSTEMIC CORRUPTION THERE
IN WITH MY LETTER TODAY TO HON MEMBERS TO REFUND ANY MONEY STOLEN OR
ILLEGALLY TAKEN. READ LETTER BELLOW AND LIKE-SHARE-COMMENT IF YOU
SUPPORT A TOTAL WAR AGAINST CORRUPTION IN THE HOUSE
September 29, 2016
TO ALL HONOURABLE MEMBERS
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
NATIONAL ASSEMBLY

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

My dear Colleagues,
BURDEN OF PROOF OF EVIDENCE: RUNNING COST OF HONOURABLE MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
I
wish to draw your attention to the fact that since you suspended me
yesterday and the suggestion of the Ethics Committee report that my
allegations were generalized and without proof, I have come under
intense public scrutiny and pressure to prove that there exists systemic
corruption in the House. I have taken it as a responsibility to prove
to the public that the House is a den of systemic corruption. As
colleagues, I have bound with many of you and built a life long
friendship.
I
have some of you that I hold in high esteem. If you end up at the
receiving end of the actions I will be taking up in the next few days, I
want you to know there is nothing personal but commitment and fervent
desire to ensure that corruption is wiped out of the House and reforms
that will restore the battered image of the House and take back the
House to the Nigerian people is implemented.
Consequent
upon the above and before I proceed with the aggressive steps I intend
to take, I hereby DEMAND that if you have illegally taken or stolen any
money meant for the RUNNING COST OF YOUR OFFICES FOR YOUR ENTIRE STAY IN
THE HOUSE, YOU SHOULD RETURN THE MONEY WITHIN ONE WEEK
TO THE CLERK OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY AND FOR THE PURPOSE OF CLARITY, I
AM REFERRING TO ABOUT 10MILLION NAIRA YOU COLLECT FROM TAX PAYERS'
MONEY MONTHLY OR MORE IN THE PAST. THE CLERK WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH
OFFICIAL ACCOUNT DETAILS, FAILURE OF WHICH I WILL TAKE NECESSARY ACTION
TO ENSURE THAT YOU RETURN ANY MONEY STOLEN AND STAND WITNESS AGAINST YOU
IN CASE OF PROSECUTION.
I
have written to the Clerk of the National Assembly to stand by in
anticipation. In the face of the revenue challenges and biting hardship
the country is currently facing, there is no better time the country
needs such money than now.
In
the case of the Presiding and Principal Officers, in addition to my
demand in this letter which applies to them too, I have written them
yesterday and gave them 72 hours ULTIMATUM to make public the total
amount they have received as running cost in their entire stay in the
House, failure of which I will proceed with necessary legal action to
compel them to make the total amount each of them have received public.
There
are other issues of monumental corruption in the House that I will be
raising in the following weeks which we must all deal with, but first
lets get done with this one.
Thank you.
God bless.
