Budget padding: Senate to review Ningi’s suspension – Akpabio

by admin

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has revealed plans by the Senate to recall Senator Abdul Ningi from his three-month suspension.

He made the revelation while answering questions from reporters on arrival from the Inter-Parliamentary Union meeting in Geneva, Switzerland.

Akpabio said the Senate will soon review the three-month suspension it slammed on Ningi for claiming that the 2024 budget was allegedly padded with the sum of N3.7 trillion.

Recalls that Ningi had on Thursday, in a letter written by his counsel, Femi Falana SAN, requested reinstatement to the Senate.

Akpabio pointed out that even though he had not seen the letter, the matter would be resolved like a family affair.

He said: “It is a parliamentary decision. I have not seen the letter yet. But Senator Ningi is one of us. I mean, what is suspension?”
