Abdul Ningi, senator representing Bauchi central, was spotted on the premises of the national assembly on Tuesday.
He was seen in the company of Suleiman Kawu, senator
representing Kano south.
The upper legislative chamber recalled Ningi after he had
spent more than two months on suspension.
The Bauchi senator was suspended for three months in March
for alleging that the 2024 budget was padded by N3 trillion.
However, last week, the red chamber recalled Ningi before
the three months elapsed.
The decision to recall the senator followed a motion
sponsored by Abba Moro, minority leader; Olalere Oyewumi, senator representing
Osun south; and Osita Ngwu, senator representing Enugu west.
While moving the motion, Moro said the Bauchi senator has
already spent two months away from the national assembly, and that there is a
need for him to return to his legislative duties.
“Senator Abdul Ahmed
Ningi, being under suspension, has spent over two months outside the precincts
of the National Assembly Complex and needs to return to continue with his
legislative activities as the senator representing Bauchi central senatorial
district,” the minority leader had said.
“Flowing from the above, the senate minority leadership
takes full responsibility for the actions of our colleague Senator Abdul Ahmed
Ningi and apologises on his behalf.”
