Senate President Godswill Akpabio has announced that the Senate is preparing to revoke Senator Abdul Ningi’s three-month suspension. Akpabio made this revelation while responding to inquiries from reporters upon his return from the Inter-Parliamentary Union meeting in Geneva, Switzerland.
Akpabio stated that the Senate would soon reconsider the three-month suspension imposed on Ningi for alleging that the 2024 budget was padded with N3.7 trillion.
Recalling that Ningi had requested reinstatement to the Senate through a letter from his counsel, Femi Falana SAN, Akpabio emphasized that despite not having seen the letter himself, the issue would be addressed internally, akin to a family matter.
He remarked, “It is a parliamentary decision. I have not seen the letter yet. But Senator Ningi is one of us. I mean, what is suspension?”
