Senator Abdul Ningi has cried out to Nigerians saying that the Senate under the leadership of Senator Godswill Akpabio is making plans to arrest him over his allegation of padding in the 2024 appropriation budget to the tune of N3.7 trillion.
Ningi said: “That is why I said I know this parliament very well, I have come a long way. And that is why we are speaking. Let’s speak.”
“Have they ever asked me since the beginning of this so-called crisis, where are your findings? Where are the documents? I’m not using my head to come up with figures.”
“Nobody has talked to me about evidence. Nobody has suggested even listening to me. All they are trying to do is to ensure that ‘how do we make sure that Ningi is silenced or arrested so that he doesn’t do anything?’”
“I have opened this can of worms. Neither they nor I will be able to control it.”
For those who don’t know, the Senate suspended Ningi for three months for claiming that projects worth N3.7 trillion in the 2024 budget were untraceable.
