Tinubu Meets Akpabio After Ningi’s Suspension

President Bola Tinubu has met with the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio and the Deputy Senate President, Barau Jibrin at the Presidential Villa, Abuja ostensibly over the developments in the Senate that culminated in the suspension of Senator Abdul Ningi.

GWG.ng reports that Senator Akpabio met with the President shortly after the nation’s upper legislative chamber handed a three-month suspension to the Chairman of the Northern Senators Forum, NSF Abdul Ningi, representing Bauchi Bauchi Central Senatorial District.

The agenda of the meeting was not made public at the time of filing this report, but it was reliably gathered that it was not unconnected with the suspension of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator over the comment credited to him that President Tinubu is implementing a different budget from what was presented to the National Assembly.

Though, the Bauchi Senator had since denied the allegation, he, however, did not escape the wrath of the majority of his colleagues, including his northern brothers, who alleged that his (Ningi’s) allegation in an interview he granted to the BBC, Hausa Service, put the senate in bad light.

Senator Akpabio did not talk to journalists when he finished the meeting with President Tinubu with the shadow of the suspension of Senator Ningi hanging over the polity.
