Sen. Abdul Ningi requests to be reinstated and warns of taking Akpabio before the NBA The senator from Bauchi Central, Ahmed Ningi, has communicated with Senate President Godswill Akpabio, requesting the removal of the current suspension imposed on him. Ningi, who communicated with Akpabio through his legal representative, Femi Falana (SAN), emphasized that if his suspension is not revoked within the next week, he will take the matter to the Federal High Court. On March 12, the Senate decided to suspend Ningi for a period of three months due to his statement alleging that the 2024 budget had been inflated by N3.7tn. In the letter, Falana wrote: “On March 9, 2024, our client granted an interview to the BBC Hausa Service on the 2024 Appropriation Act. He expressed his views on the budget of the Federal Government in the exercise of his fundamental right to freedom of speech guaranteed by Section 39 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) and Article 9 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights (Ratification and Enforcement) Act (Cap A9) Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004. “Dissatisfied with the interview, you caused our client to be put on trial before the Senate on March 14, 2024 contrary to the provisions of the Legislative Houses (Powers and Privileges) Act, 2018.”

Ningi should simply explain to us where he found his own N25T His suspension may not have followed due process but he owes us an explanation. If he noticed something like that why didn't he bring it before the Senate committee on Budget. Why didnt mention it on the floor of the house. A budget of N25T was never presented. That he is saying a budget of N25T was presented makes me feel he is unfit to be a senator, he was definitely absent or sleeping during the budget presentation. Ningi must tell us where he saw a budget presentation of N25T, he seems to be the only human being who saw a 2024 Nigerian budget of N25T. I am or saying the budget is not padded, the Senate confirmed that additional money was added to the budget, but was never N3.7T. It's been weeks Ningi has not been able to explain or show evidence 1 Like |

I know there is a substantial court ruling stating Senate can't suspend a senator from sitting U think APC got that court order for omo agege Makes no sense to suspend a representative of a people by a representative of another people.... It not logical

[b]The case of Senator Ningi illustrates a troubling trend in Nigerian politics, reminiscent of organized lynching rather than adherence to the rule of law. The actions taken against him, spearheaded by figures like Akpabio, appear to be driven by personal vendettas rather than genuine concern for justice. The manner in which Senator Ningi was suspended reflects a disregard for due process and the principles of fairness. It seems that the Senate, rather than serving as a bastion of legislative integrity, has become a stage for political maneuvering and the pursuit of personal gain. However, by attempting to silence Senator Ningi through suspension, the Senate may have inadvertently amplified his voice and elevated his profile. Regardless of whether he is formally reinstated, Senator Ningi's allegations are now in the public consciousness, and attempts to silence him may only fuel further scrutiny and attention. In a country where transparency and accountability are paramount, it is imperative that the Senate be viewed as a body dedicated to upholding the rule of law and serving the interests of the Nigerian people, rather than simply a vehicle for personal enrichment. As Nigerians, we must demand better from our elected representatives and hold them accountable for their actions. The light of truth cannot be extinguished by the darkness of corruption and impunity. It is time for a renewed commitment to justice and integrity in our political institutions.[/b] |
