The Senate is reportedly contemplating a six-month suspension for Senator Abdul Ningi over his false claims regarding the 2024 budget.
According to reports from WesternPost, Senator Solomon Adeola, the Chairman of the Appropriation Committee, and other senators are displeased with Ningi’s unfounded allegations.
Accordingly, there are plans to raise the issue as a matter of national importance during Tuesday’s Senate’s plenary session.
Some senators are said to be mobilizing to propose a motion to suspend Senator Ningi for six months to serve as a deterrent to others.
The move comes in response to Ningi’s controversial statements on budget padding, which he later defended.
