Jibrin was suspended from the House over alleged cases of “budget padding.”
The suspension was for 180 legislative days.
The suspension followed a motion recommended by Chairman of House Committee on Ethics, Nicholas Ossai, and adopted by the whole House.
The budget padding case was described as one of Africa’s biggest parliamentary scandals in recent time.
