BREAKING: Kwankwaso pays solidarity visit to suspended Bauchi senator, Abdul Ningi

Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, the New Nigeria Peoples Party presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, has paid a solidarity visit to suspended Senator Abdul Ahmed Ningi.

Senator Ningi, representing Bauchi Central Senatorial district, was suspended by the Senate following his interview with the BBC Hausa Service, in which he alleged budget padding against the Senate leadership.

The former majority leader of the Senate was suspended for three months after Senator Jimoh Ibrahim moved the motion.

Senator Ningi’s suspension has since sparked debate and raised concerns about freedom of expression within the Senate.

His allegations of budget padding have drawn attention to issues of transparency and accountability in Nigeria’s legislative processes.
