The former Chairman of the House of Representatives committee on appropriation, Abdulmumin Jubrin has alleged that Speaker Yakubu Dogara deducts money from the salary of Nigerian lawmakers.
He said Dogara meticulously came up with a scheme to shortchange all members of the lower house of their wages.
Jubrin said the funds are removed as mortgage arrangement to build houses for members of the House of Representatives.
“He has been applying every under hand tactics to ensure members agree to the deal.
“Speaker Yakubu Dogara has consistently refused members access to the financial dealings and internal budget of the House.
“He runs the financial management of the House like a cult aided and abated by the Chairman House services Hon Babanlle Ila. It is no longer news that all over the House, honourable members are aware of the monumental fraud perpetrated by Speaker Yakubu Dogara in this regard.
“We are even told that this is a child’s play compared to the mess and allegations of money laundering he left behind as Chairman house services in both the 6th and 7th Assembly.
“The EFCC should have something to start working with in respect to his tenure as Chairman House services if they properly dust their files,” the embattled lawmaker said.
“This is just the tip of an iceberg, I will make further revelations in due course,” Jubrin added.
