Report reaching us from pulse.ng state that the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Timi Frank, has faulted the aggrieved former chairman of the House of Representatives appropriation committee, Abdulmumin Jibrin, for going against the party's order.
The
party had refrained Jibrin from further making public statements on the
budget padding allegations he levelled against the Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, and 11 others.
But Jibrin had on Sunday, August 7, levelled fresh allegations against the Speaker.
Frank said the lawmaker's disobedience to the APC directives has showed that he does not have regard for the party leaders.
“It
is now obvious how disrespectful, mannerless and desperate Hon. Jibrin
could be even to the leaders of our party, including the national deputy
chairman north, national secretary, national treasurer and others who
have been working to ensure that peace return to the house,” he said.
“But
if Hon. Jibrin does not have respect for Speaker Dogara as a person, it
is expected of him to respect the office of the speaker, the number
four citizen of our party and the country.
“Jubrin
should also be told that he has shown clearly shown disrespect for
President Muhammadu Buhari who is the leader of our party by this
singular act.
“It is high time Hon.
Jibrin kept quiet and stopped this public show of shame before his
excesses will be made known to Nigerians and the whole world.”
“His
continued show of shame does not only stop at him but has great
negative impact on the party, its members and the President Muhammadu
Buhari’s government," Frank said.
