BREAKING: Senate suspends Senator Ningi over budget padding allegation

The Nigerian Senate on Tuesday suspended Senator Abdul Ningi for three months over his allegation that the Federal Government was operating two budgets.

The suspension followed the amendment of prayers by Senator Jimoh Ibrahim to the motion raised by Senator Solomon Adeola Olamilekan which took Senators hours to debate.

Ningi granted an interview on Monday last week alleging that the sum of N3.7 trillion could not be traced to projects.
