Following Wednesday’s announcement,  by Speaker Yakubu Dogara on the replacement of Abdulmumin Jibrin with  Mustapha Bala Dawaki also from Kano State.

The Speaker said the Jibrin had asked to be removed from the committee. But reports were making the round that Jibrin had been involved in padding the budget with constituency projects worth N4 billion.
