Senator Abdul Ningi has alleged that the Senate is making attempts to arrest him over his allegation of padding in the 2024 appropriation budget to the tune of N3.7 trillion.<\/p>\n
This was made known by Ningi in an interview with reporters.
\nRecall that Ningi was suspended by senate for three months for claiming that projects worth N3.7 trillion in the 2024 budget were untraceable.<\/p>\n
Ningi said that no one could control the can of worms he had opened.<\/p>\n
According to him, \u201cThat is why I said I know this parliament very well, I have come a long way. And that is why we are speaking. Let\u2019s speak.<\/p>\n
\u201cHave they ever asked me since the beginning of this so-called crisis, where are your findings? Where are the documents? I\u2019m not using my head to come up with figures.<\/p>\n
\u201cNobody has talked to me about evidence. Nobody has suggested even listening to me. All they are trying to do is to ensure that \u2018how do we make sure that Ningi is silenced or arrested so that he doesn\u2019t do anything?\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cI have opened this can of worms. Neither they nor I will be able to control it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
