He said he took to step to put the bed allegations by this accusers that he was speaking under the influence of drugs when he made the startling budget padding revelations.

The ex-Appropriation committee chair arrived the private wing of the hospital at about 12 noon.

He opened a file at the record department and later obtained a patient’s personal card, after making a payment of N15,540, from where he proceeded to the laboratory where his samples were collected for chemical pathology test.

The deputy Director, Clinical Services, Mr. Jawa, a consultant in Nuclear Medicine, said the results should be ready in the next three to four days.

“We have taken blood fluid samples for substance abuse from the person in question and we hope that in the next three to four days, the results will be available.

“Once these results are available, we will make them available to the patient and with his consent, if he allows us, we will make it public,” Mr. Jawa said.

Speaking after the exercise, Jibrin said he would make the results public. He also said he would release more shocking revelations.

He said, “Thank you very much for this opportunity. As you are aware, I have been making a lot of revelations about issues of corruption in the House of Representatives and that has created a lot of issues.

“A lot of allegations had also been thrown on me and I have responded to all. Most of the allegations turned out to be false and I think as a last resort, Speaker Dogara, and the three others that I accused have been sponsoring a very massive media campaign against me, that everything I am saying, I am under the influence of hard drugs.

“So I am not taking that allegation lightly, because in the next few days, again I am going to release more shocking revelations.

“So I want Nigerians to be convinced beyond reasonable doubt that I am not talking under the influence of any kind of drug whatsoever. I don’t even drink alcohol, I don’t smoke even cigarette.

“So what I did was to first conduct test of different categories of drug and it all came out negative. Then I took the next stage, I went to a credible facility in Abuja.

“They conducted all categories of test on me and again everything turned out negative and I now took out the final stage, which is unprecedented in the history of this country. This is the first time that a public officer in Nigeria, high profile officer, will subject himself to a public test for drugs.

“So I wrote officially to the CMD of the National Hospital that they should give me appointment to conduct drug test on me, of which they granted me the appointment for today.

“And I have gone to the hospital, they received me very well today and all the processes were done, samples were taken from me and I am also waiting for the result, which I am going to make public.

“So with these three results, we should be able to put the matter to rest that I am not under the influence of any kind of drug,” Mr. Jibrin said.
