Senate suspends Sen. Abdul Ningi over budget padding allegation
Senate President Godswill Akpabio has suspended Senator Abdul Ningi for three months over the allegation he brought that the National Assembly passed two versions of the 2024 budget.
He was suspended on Tuesday on the floor of the Senate. Ningi is the Chairman, Senate Committee on Population and represents PDP, Bauchi Central.
While the parties called for a probe into the allegation, some northern senators disowned the claims made by Ningi, saying the Bauchi State senator did not speak for them. The Bauchi senator, however, maintained his position on Monday that N3.7tn could not be accounted for in the 2024 budget.
In the plenary on Tuesday, Senator Olamilekan Adeola (APC, Ogun West) raised a motion that there is urgent need to address the false allegation by Ningi.
