Senator Abdul Ningi has claimed that the Senate is endeavoring to apprehend him due to his accusation of padding in the 2024 appropriation budget amounting to N3.7 trillion.
Ningi revealed this during an interview on Arise Television.
It’s worth noting that the Senate had previously suspended Ningi for three months after he asserted that projects worth N3.7 trillion in the 2024 budget could not be accounted for.
Ningi emphasized that the can of worms he had exposed could not be contained by anyone.
He said, “That is why I said I know this parliament very well, I have come a long way. And that is why we are speaking. Let’s speak.
“Have they ever asked me since the beginning of this so-called crisis, where are your findings? Where are the documents? I’m not using my head to come up with figures.
“Nobody has talked to me about evidence. Nobody has suggested even listening to me. All they are trying to do is to ensure that ‘how do we make sure that Ningi is silenced or arrested so that he doesn’t do anything?’
“I have opened this can of worms. Neither they nor I will be able to control it.”
