The lawmaker dismissed allegations that he was being sponsored by external forces to destabilize the House.

"I'm also obliged to respond to some allegations that I am sponsored by some external forces to destabilize the House of Representatives. The worthless and laughable allegation is orchestrated by Speaker Dogara and his gang of thieves to discredit my unstoppable mission.
