Honourable Abdulmumin Jibrin, former Chairman, Appropriations Committee of the House of Representatives recently revealed that Sen. Iyiola Ajani “Otunba” Omisore, former Deputy Governor of Osun State and Senator for Osun East is the godfather of Hon. Yakubu Dogara, Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives.

“My relationship with Dogara began to suffer when I started getting reports of the Speaker’s alleged ‘corrupt practises.’ We practically disagreed on almost everything. His godfather is Sen. Iyiola Omisore. Speaker Dogara is of the habit of taking standing committee chairmen to swear oath of allegiance before Omisore. During the build up to the appointment of committee chairmen, I had a terrible disagreement with him. I stayed far away from him.”
