Yakubu Dogara
All Progressives Congress chieftain, Yakubu Dogara who has been
heavily robed in a budget padding saga in the House of Representatives
has been in the news since last week following revelations by his former
ally, Abdulmunin Jibrin, sacked Chairman of House Committee on
Appropriation.
Jibrin alleged that Speaker Yakubu Dogara and three others
fraudulently shortchanged the House of Representatives and abused their
offices by unilaterally taking away 40 billion Naira out of the 100
billion Naira allocated for constituency projects and distributing same
to themselves and the trio of Deputy Speaker Yusuf Lasun, House Whip
Alhassan Ado Doguwa and Minority Leader Leo Ogor without approval of the
House.
This staggering allegation followed by petitions to security
operatives for the prosecution of principal members of the House of Reps
has directed the corruption searchlight on Dogara whose assets have
graced public domain for scrutiny.
Online newspaper, Sahara reporters have exposed a multi-million
naira landed property of the embattled Bauchi legislator which was
suspicious built at the highly expensive Persian Gulf close, Wuse II
area of Abuja within 6 months of Dogara's Speakership.
Yakubu Dogara, 48 has been Speaker of the House of Representatives
of Nigeria since 2015.
In the House of Representatives, he represents
Bogoro/Dass/Tafawa-Balewa Federal constituency of Bauchi State
