The Vice Chairman of the House of Representatives committee on Downstream, Hon. Danlami Muhammad Kurfi, has lashed out at the former Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriation, Abdulmumin Jibrin, for calling on the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara, to resign.

Kurfi, who represents Dutsinma/Kurfi Federal Constituency of Katsina State, said Jibrin should not be taken serious because his utterances are mere rantings of someone who is paying for his actions.

“Why did it take him this long to tell Mr. President that the Speaker dines with his enemies?” Kurfi queried and insisted that the former chairman of the Appropriation Committee should thank his stars that his sack came when members were on recess.
“If this had happened while we were in session, some of us would have moved for his suspension,” he noted.

Kurfi accused Jibrin of arrogance, noting that “he has no regards for other members of the House and even members of his committee”.
He insisted that the removal of Jibrin was one of the best decisions to be taken by the Speaker, noting that he betrayed the trust of not just the lower chamber, but that of all Nigerians.
