Ningi was suspended in March over ₦‎3.7 Trillion Budget Padding Claims

Senator Abba Moro moves motion for Senator Abdul Ningi's recall

The senator representing Benue South Senatorial District and Senate Minority Leader, Comrade Abba Patrick Moro PhD, on Tuesday moved a motion on the floor of the senate for the recall of the Senator representing Bauchi Central Senatorial District, Senator Abdul Ahmed Ningi.

The motion titled, "Unconditional recall of Senator Abdul Ningi" urged the senate to recall Senator Ningi who was suspended for three months on the 12th of March over his unsubstantiated allegation of padding of the 2024 budget to the tune of N3.7trn in an interview he granted the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Hausa Service on March 9, 2024.

His suspension followed a motion of urgent national importance moved by the Chairman, Senate Committee on Appropriations, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola. Senator Ningi was suspended for violating legislative rules, misconduct and unethical behavior.

Senator Moro's motion on Tuesday had only one prayer, which was for the senate to reconsider the additional resolution of its Votes and Proceedings of Wednesday, 13th March, 2024 and recall Senator Abdul Ningi for him to carry out his legislative activities. The motion stated that the Senate Minority Leadership accepted full responsibility for the actions of their colleague, Senator Ningi and apologized on his behalf.

The prayer was unanimously approved and Senator Ningi recalled.

Okay. He must have learnt his lessons. He should keep quiet because there's nothing being done on the floor of the Senate that was not done when their Northern brother, Lawan was Senate President. Their hatred for Southern leadership in the Senate is the motivation for all the so called allegations.
Next time he will be dismissed and banned from contesting elections in the country. This is the turn of the South to rule and not be critised for anything.

His suspension period is not yet over please.he has served two months,it is left with 2 weeks

Hmmm, despite the threats from Northern Senators, he still servd his suspension, Southern politicians are not puppet afterall

Deserves my respect 💯. It's only in Nigeria that a person tries to fight corruption and you will practically see corruption fighting back

Fantastically corrupt country cesspit

The Hero is back. Don't bow to evil and always resist them.

Mehn..... Welcome sir, abeg continue to expose those rubber stamps irresponsible cawards🙂bunch of shameless and useless senators...



May Allah continue to bless you, protects you and strengthen your efforts, we stand with you....👏👏

What steps is Nigeria taking to become great. It's easier to follow a working model. A civilization is measured by how much energy it can harness. The power sector should be their priority with such money. I hope we get there faster.

Ningi doesn't appear to give a damn, neither did he lobby his return. He remains the hero of democracy. I don't see him change. He will rather spill more beans

That the senate leadership stood its ground on this matter is commendable. I dislike the attitude of those northern senators. Buhari was there for eight years with a figure head senate president. Everything was fine with them, as soon as a southerner emerged, they want to start another Jonathan drama but this time, it won't work.
If southerners could cooperate with you for eight years, you too MUST cooperate with us for same period of years.
This country belongs to all of us.

He remains a villain,a shameless man.he indirectly lobbied for his return that's why he threatened court action.he was so shameful for him to apologize hence the minority leader is doing it on his behalf.if he tries that rubbish again,he will be banned for life
But are you aware he did that because they want a northerner as senator
