The Nigerian Senate on Tuesday suspended Senator Abdul Ningi for three months over his allegation that the Federal Government was operating two budgets.
The suspension followed the amendment of prayers by Senator
Jimoh Ibrahim to the motion raised by Senator Solomon Adeola Olamilekan which
took Senators hours to debate.
Ningi granted an interview on Monday last week alleging that
the sum of N3.7 trillion could not be traced to projects.
After a heated debate on Tuesday, a prayer was amended through a motion by Senator Ekpeyong Asuquo representing Cross River South Senatorial District saying that he should be suspended for six months.
However, Senator AbdulRahid Mallam Maidori from Jigawa
suggested a month’s suspension.
In his remarks, the Senate President sustained the
three-month suspension after he put the recommended prayers to a voice vote and
Ningi was suspended for six months.
