Senator Abdul Ningi, who represents Bauchi Central Senatorial District has been suspended for 3 months.
The decision was taken on Tuesday following the Senator’s allegations of padding of the 2024 Budget.
Ningi, from Bauchi Central Senatorial District, was suspended after a long stormy session in the red chamber.
Jimoh Ibrahim, a member of the Appropriation Committee in the Senate, moved the motion for Ningi’s suspension for 12 months over allegations of criminal misinformation and breach of peace in the National Assembly and the country by extension.
However, other lawmakers like Senator Asuquo Ekpenyong moved for the amendment of the motion by Ibrahim. Ekpenyong, who is from Cross River South Senatorial District, prayed for the reduction of the suspension.
