OPEN LETTER TO THE SENATE

Dear Senate President and all Distinguished Senators of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,

I write to you with a heavy heart regarding recent events that have cast a shadow over the integrity of the Senate chamber due to budget padding allegations raised by Senator Abdul Ningi is deeply concerning.

The suspension of Senator Ningi for three months raises questions about the Senate's commitment to transparency and accountability. Instead of resorting to punitive measures, I urge you to consider establishing a committee to thoroughly investigate the allegations. The Nigerian people deserve reassurance that their elected representatives are acting in their best interests.

Over the years, the Senate's integrity has been called into question on numerous occasions. From allegations of misappropriation to controversial statements made by the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, the trust of the masses has wavered. It is time to address these concerns head-on and restore faith in our National Assembly.

I implore you, Senate President, to take decisive action to clear the air and demonstrate a genuine commitment to accountability. The people of Nigeria are watching, and it is imperative that we do not let them down.

In solidarity with Senator Ningi for his courage in speaking out, I urge you to prioritize the investigation of this matter to uphold the honor and integrity of the Senate chamber.



Sincerely,

Peter Olasupo
Concerned Nigerian
