Desperate Speaker Yakubu Dogara Is Bribing Some Members With $25,000 Each To Sign A Vote Of Confidence For Him And The 3 Other Corrupt Principal Officers.
Fellow Nigerians, in a desperate attempt, corrupt Speaker Dogara and the 3 others have opened a register for a vote of confidence signature. The register is opened at his Asokoro guest house located at wilbeford Juta crescent. Hon members are giving $25,000 to sign. This disgraceful act is coordinated by Hon Zakari Mohammed, Hon Jagaba Adams Jagaba and DCOS to Mr Speaker Hon CID Maduabum. My stand is that the corrupt Speaker Dogara, Lasun, Doguwa and Ogor must listen to Nigerians, reconvene the house immediately and step aside.
No external forces in this matter, if there are any, they deserve commendation for sponsoring a struggle to wipe out corruption in the House. In any case, are the external forces responsible for the massive theft and abuse of office by Speaker Dogara and the 12 other members?
He will soon resort to religious blackmail forgetting I was the one, Muslim from north-west that spearhead&mobilize resources for his election. I had a very good meeting with my party APC yesterday. I thank the party for their objectivity&I will continue to cooperate with the party. But I stand by my allegations against Speaker Dogara and his corrupt gang of 12. We shall continue this struggle. There is no going back!!!
