Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin, former Chairman, Appropriation Committee of the Federal House of Representatives has finally opened up on the N4.1 billion Kano Film Village fraud allegation against him by his colleagues: “There has never been any version of the 2016 budget that was produced with an increased size of N250bn. It is an extension of the wicked propaganda and and desperate search for lies and blackmail by Speaker Dogara and the three others. If at all there is, let them bring it out.”

“One single allegation that I may probably carry on with it and keep explaining for the rest of my life is the N4.1bn worth of projects I allocated to my constituency. When this allegation came out, I was already under instruction by Speaker Dogara to stop talking to the press. I could not respond. By the time it became convenient for me to speak, the tempo had died down. I decided to simply include it in my 40th birthday memoir to be released in September.”

“There was nothing like projects worth N4.1bn in my constituency in any version of the budget. It was a huge blackmail, which I only later realised was instigated by Speaker Dogara and the three others.”
