At the celebration of Ibori’s freedom from prison, Senator Peter Nwaboshi said Ibori contributed to emergence of Dogara as speaker of House of Representatives.
However Dogara quickly denied the report.
But, in a tweet released by suspended member of House of Representatives, Abdulmumin Jibrin alleged that Ibori gave $600, 000 to Dogara during his campaign as speaker of the house.
According to him, since Dogara has disowned Ibori, he should at least have the honour to return the $600,000 which Ibori donated to his speakership campaign.
Source closed to the House also revealed that Jibrin was one of the sponsors of Dogara during the speakership election in the house.
