Alleged Budget Padding Saga: Solidarity For Ningi Swells As Kwankwaso Visits

A former Governor of Kano State and chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso on Monday, paid a solidarity visit to Senator Abdul Ahmed Ningi.

Recall that Ningi, who represents Bauchi Central in the upper chamber of the National Assembly, was recently suspended over his claims of an N3.7 trillion padding of the 2024 budget.

GWG.ng reported that Ningi’s action attracted a three month suspension.

Apart from solidarity shown by Kwankwaso, Bauchi Governor, Bala Mohammed, identified with Ningi.

Speaking during the State Executive Council meeting at the Government House, Bauchi, last Wednesday, Mohammed said, “Yesterday I was very sad that the Senate suspended one of our best from Bauchi for saying the truth, for standing up to be the beacon of the truth.”

“Equally I don’t know what we will do but we will discuss privately to see what we can do to support him because I support whatever he is doing and that is our best position especially if what he saying is the truth,”
