OCCUPYNASS: WHY HON. ABDULMUMIN JIBRIN SUES DR IDRIS AHMED OF CUPS AT HIGH COURT FOR N5 BILLION DAMAGES

Can you imagine the flamboyant Lawmaker representing the poor people of Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency of Kano State has sued Dr. Ahmed Idris of CUPS for a N5Billion damages! This was as a result of the citizens anti corruption battled which the Nigerian masses via coalition of Civil Society Organizations championed by Citizens United for Peace and Stability (CUPS) led against the National Assembly known as‪#‎OccupyNass‬. In the build up to the anti corruption, anti impunity protest, Nigerians utilized the best and most power democratic tool, the social media to mobilized and vented their frustrations against the list of individuals at the National Assembly that are involved in the act of corruption and impunity known as "budget padding". 

The budget padding saga resulted to delay which has impacted negatively on the lives of Nigerians. But because it was the most revealing moment to Nigerians on how the crooks among our Lawmakers have been siphoning the taxpayers money, Nigerians fully sacrificed their patience and overlooked the unnecessary delay in the implementation of the 2016 Annual National Budget. One of the most shocking and mind boggling revelations was how Hon. Abdulmuminu Jibrin, the Chairman of the Appropriation Committee sneaked in a fictious projects worth N4.169 billion to his constituency. If only he succeeded, such money will be siphoned and shared among all parties involved. It was confirmed by the Executive Arm of Government and we are asking if this is not a punishable offense? Another Committee that committed similar atrocities, is the Works Committee that sneaked in 80 Road Projects and each project worth over N500 million. Multiply N500 million and help yourself with the figure that was meant to be stolen through our Lawmakers.
