Sokoto state governor and former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, is staunchly behind Yakubu Dogara in the messy budget padding scandal which has engulfed the house.
Ex Chairman of the Appropriation Committee, Hon. Jibrin Abdulmumin, had accused Dogara and other principal officers of the House of inflating the 2016 budget to their own interests.
Although he is yet to speak on the issue, ex Speaker Tambuwal is strongly behind Dogara, Punch says.
“It is an open secret that the Speaker is Tambuwal’s man. The Sokoto State governor was instrumental in the emergence of Dogara as the Speaker in 2015. He has not abandoned the man. He is mobilising members of the House for Dogara," a Sokoto lawmaker said.
The Punch added that Tambuwal is also mobilising some members of the House from the North-West to support the Speaker.
