Mr. Dogara had on Friday, after emerging from a meeting with President Buhari, rejected calls for him to resign, saying the allegations that he supervised a massive manipulation of the 2016 budget were untrue.
Mr. Dogara also described the “budget padding” catchphrase that had gained widespread popularity in the media as an anomaly, saying as a top lawmaker and lawyer, he knew that the word had no place in legislative lexicon
But in its statement to PREMIUM TIMES on Saturday, the Transparency Group said Mr. Dogara’s attempt to distance himself from the scandal that had engulfed the House for more than two weeks was “shocking, disappointing” and signified a “negation of federal character principles and breach of trust.”
