Senate Sets To Recall Ningi From Suspension – Akpabio

Senate President Godswill Akpabio, has announced that the Nigerian Senate is set to restore Senator Abdul Ningi from his three months suspension.

Akpabio disclosed this while answering questions from reporters on arrival from the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) meeting in Geneva, Switzerland.

He assured that the Senate will soon review the three months suspension it slammed on Ningi for claiming that the 2024 budget was allegedly padded with the sum of N3.7trillion.

This is coming up after Ningi gave Akpabio  7-day-ultimatum to restore him or face legal action, as contained in a letter written by his counsel, Femi Falana SAN.

Akpabio told reporters that even though he has not seen the said letter, it is already receiving due attention.

He said the matter would be resolved like a family affair and hopefully Ningi would return to take his seat earlier than expected.

Akpabio said: “It is a parliamentary decision. I have not seen the letter yet. But Senator Ningi is one of us. I mean what is suspension?

“I believe that in a few days he will join us. So, there is no problem. It would be resolved amicably. The Senate is a family.”
