“My inability to admit into the budget almost N30bn personal requests from Mr. Speaker & the 3 other principal officers also became an issue. The four of them met & took that decision.In addition to billions of wasteful projects running over 20bn they allocated to their constituencies”. He wrote via his verified twitter account..

“I strongly believe with every conviction that in cleaning up the budgeting system and considering what transpired during 2016 budget which I have all the facts documented, Speaker Dogara, Deputy Speaker Lasun, Whip Doguwa and minority Leader Leo Ogor should resign.
