Senate President Godswill Akpabio has said the Red Chamber will soon lift the suspension on Senator Abdul Ningi (PDP, Bauchi Central).
This is coming 24 hours after the lawmaker wrote to Akpabio, threatening to take legal action if his suspension is not lifted within 7 days.
Ningi was suspended following his BBC Hausa interview in which he alleged that the budget for the 2024 fiscal year was padded to the tune of N3.7 trillion.
After a heated debate by Senators on the floor during plenary on the matter, Ningi was suspended for three months and asked to write a letter of apology to the Senate.
