The lawmaker alleged that his suspension is part of the Speaker, Yakubu Dogara’s plan to quieten him.
He said “Today, I’m being humiliated and my crime is simply exposing corruption in high places. Who will want to take such risk in future?”
Reacting to the sealing of his office by staff of the National Assembly, Jibrin said “The office was purportedly sealed as a consequence of my illegal suspension.
