The Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation, Abdulmumin Jibrin has condemned the silence of public officials in the present administration’s fight against corruption.
In throwing his weight behind the Buhari administration, Hon. Jibrin is going against an increasing tide of dissatisfaction among lawmakers with the current administration.
More importantly, the member of the House of Reps condemned the proposed immunity clause for some Principal members of the Senate and even called for a deeper probe of the National assembly.
Hon. Jibrin shared his opinion in a series of tweets
It is embarrassing that Mr. President is gradually becoming the lone voice fighting and condemning corruption in strong terms.

It’s pertinent for NASS to rise up to this challenge.The fight against Corruption is one of the main reasons why we elected president Buhari

The NASS must not only be heard but must be seen at the fore front of the fight against corruption.

I advocate even deeper search light on members of NASS by the anti corruption agencies.
— Abdulmumin Jibrin (@AbdulAbmJ) June 27, 2016
This will prevent corrupt and incompetent people from aspiring into the NASS.

The NASS is the heart of the country, the conscience of the nation and an institution that should be our biggest supplier of leaders.

I will therefore never support immunity for anybody in NASS be he or she a member, senator, principal or presiding officer.
— Abdulmumin Jibrin (@AbdulAbmJ) June 27, 2016
Every public officer is expected to live a life in a way that clearly shows he or she has nothing to hide.
— Abdulmumin Jibrin (@AbdulAbmJ) June 27, 2016
For God’s sake why do we need immunity? Why should we even be contemplating such or changing impeachment procedure of presiding officers?
— Abdulmumin Jibrin (@AbdulAbmJ) June 27, 2016
In whose interest ? We are elected officials. We must live above board.

In the following days, I’ll commence a series that’ll open up vital conversation on NASS that will help our collective journey as a country.
