Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has summoned Abdulmumin
Jibrin, the sacked chairman of the Federal House of Representative
committee on appropriation.
According to TheCable News,
the lawmaker is expected to appear at the national secretariat of the
party on Tuesday, to explain his allegations of budget padding made
against Yakubu Dogara, and 12 other lawmakers.
The invitation letter to the lawmaker representing Kiru-Bebeji
federal constituency, in Kano state, which was signed by Lawal Shuaibu,
the party’s deputy national chairman for the north, asserted that Jibrin
has brought “dishonour” to the party, owing to the public nature of his allegations.
“As a disciplined party, the constitution of our party has made
adequate provisions on ways of resolving any issue among our members.
“It behoves on the party to take all necessary steps in order
to ensure that no member of the family brings dishonour to the party.
“To say the least, it is absolutely unacceptable to resort to
media war as a means of settling scores without recourse to and/or
exhausting the party’s internal dispute resolution mechanism.
“You are, therefore, by this invitation, expected to appear
before the undersigned at the APC National Secretariat on Tuesday, 2nd
August, 2016, at 2 p.m.
“Kindly note that failure to and/or refusal to honour this
invitation will amount to a decision you have made not to submit to the
party,” the statement said.
