Abdulmumin Jibrin Resumes Plenary After Suspension

Formerly suspended lawmaker, Abdulmuni Jibrin has resumed
plenary at the House of Representatives.

Jibrin, who had been on a 17-month suspension, on Wednesday
resumed plenary after the suspension placed on him was lifted by
the House.

He was pardoned on Tuesday, March 13 after writing a letter
apologising to the House and having met all conditions given to
him.

Speaker of the House, Yakubu Dogara while presenting the letter
to the House on Tuesday said Jibrin is free to resume his
legislative duties.

“He has fulfilled all the conditions by writing a letter to the
House so he is free to resume his duties whenever he wants, if he
so wishes,” Dogara told the House.

The lawmaker representing Bebeji/Kiru Federal Constituency of
Kano was suspended in September 2016 after the House of
Representatives committee on Ethics and Privilege found him guilty
of accusing the leadership of the House of Representatives of
padding the 2016 budget.

Jibrin who was the former Chairman of the Committee on
Appropriation had been out of the House for a period of 180
legislative days after allegedly breaching the practices and
precedents of the House of Representatives.
