The National Leadership of APC yesterday wrote a letter to embattled
former Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on
Appropriation, Abdulmumin Jibrin, summoning him to appear before it at
the National Secretariat of the party today August 2nd.
Jibrin has continued his media campaign against the
House Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, three principal officers and nine other
lawmakers, accusing them of budget padding and corruption.
In a letter signed by the party’s Deputy National Chairman for the
Northern Zone, Lawal Shuaibu, APC said it is totally unacceptable for
Jibrin to have resorted to media war against its party members when he
had not exhausted the party’s internal dispute resolution mechanism.
“As a disciplined party, the constitution of our party has made adequate
provisions on ways of resolving any issue among our members. It behoves
on the party to take all necessary steps in order to ensure that no
member of the Family brings dishonour to the party. To say the least, it
is absolutely unacceptable to resort to media war as a means of
settling scores without recourse to and/or exhausting the party’s
internal dispute resolution mechanism. You are, therefore, by this
invitation, expected to appear before the undersigned at the APC
National Secretariat on Tuesday, 2nd August, 2016, at 2 p.m. Kindly note
that failure to and/or refusal to honour this invitation will amount to
a decision you have made not to submit to the party” the letter read
