The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, on Friday declared that he will not resign from the position over controversies bordering on alleged padding of the 2016 Budget.
The sacked Chairman of House Committee on Appropriation, Abdulmumini Jibrin, had claimed that Dogara supported the padding of the budget with N40 billion.
But speaking with State House correspondents after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Dogara maintained that budget padding was not an offence.
