Many concerned Nigerians have reached me in the past few days, expressing their fear over the fate of the allegations I raised against the very corrupt Speaker Yakubu Dogara, three (3) other Principal Officers and nine (9) other members.
I
understand the concern of many Nigerians who feel strongly that by now
Speaker Dogara and the 12 others should have reconvened the House,
resigned and faced arrest in the wake of the grievous allegations
leveled against them, which they have responded to none.
I
wish to reassure Nigerians that I STAND by my allegations and there is
no going back. We shall put in our all and expose DOGARA-GATE SCANDAL to
the very end and ensure that justice is served on Speaker Dogara and
his group of corrupt Principal Officers and members.
For the avoidance of doubt, let me restate that I have interacted severally with anti-corruption agencies.
It is however heartwarming to know that they are indeed working
meticulously on the matter. I have little doubt that they will do
justice expeditiously and sooner than letter, we will get to the point
where every Nigerian is waiting for -- the arrest of Speaker Dogara and
his group of budget criminals and fraudsters parading themselves as
"Honourable" members, indeed!
Nigerians
must remain vigilant because Speaker Dogara is using his office to
obstruct and neutralize investigation. He is also using same and the
time he has now before the long arms of law catches up with him to
hurriedly clean up the mess on his desk, spend the stolen money on all
sort of consultants and people he thinks can help him out through
subterranean means.
On
our side, while waiting for the response of our great party, the APC,
on my letter, we are reaching out to everyone or group that can support
this worthy cause against DOGARA-GATE, the biggest corruption case in
the history of our country.
We
are also reaching out to the Presidential Advisory Committee Against
corruption. In fact I spoke extensively on phone today with Prof. Itse
Sagay and requested to make presentation to his committee on the
allegations, just as we are reaching out to the Diplomatic Community and
Civil Society groups so that everyone will understand the gravity of
the allegations and the urgent need for decisive action to be taken by
the anti corruption agencies.
Let
me express my profound appreciation to all my colleagues that visited
me, called or sent text messages to show solidarity and express anger on
why I did not open up much earlier. I must also thank the social media
community and print media who have ensured that the issue remain in the
front burner despite several attempts by Speaker Dogara to sweep it out
and change the public narrative with personal attack on my person and
attempt to drag the Executive, Senate and other government officials
into this matter and blackmail them.
My
fellow Nigerians, be rest assured the DOGARA-GATE scandal will never be
settled as a "family" matter or swept under the carpet, we shall remain
vigilant until justice is served on these extremely corrupt members.
God bless.
