Senator Abdul Ningi, who represents Bauchi Central, has accused the Senate of trying to silence or arrest him for revealing alleged padding in the 2024 appropriation budget. The Senate had suspended Ningi for three months after he claimed that projects worth N3.7 trillion in the budget were untraceable.
Ningi spoke out in an interview with Arise TV on Wednesday, March 13, stating, "That is why I said I know this parliament very well, I have come a long way. And that is why we are speaking. Let’s speak. Have they ever asked me since the beginning of this so-called crisis, where are your findings? Where are the documents? I’m not using my head to come up with figures."
He further added, "Nobody has talked to me about evidence. Nobody has suggested even listening to me. All they are trying to do is to ensure that ‘how do we make sure that Ningi is silenced or arrested so that he doesn’t do anything?’ I have opened this can of worms. Neither they nor I will be able to control it."
