Senator Abdul Ningi, who represents Bauchi in the Nigerian Senate, has been suspended for three months by the Senate. The decision to suspend him comes in response to an interview he conducted with the Hausa service of the BBC, during which he alleged that the 2024 budget was inflated by more than N3 trillion. The suspension reflects the Senate's response to the serious accusations made by Senator Ningi, and it underscores the significance placed on maintaining decorum and adherence to established procedures within the legislative body.

Senator Ningi's remarks in the BBC interview regarding the alleged padding of the 2024 budget have led to a temporary removal from his duties. The Senate's decision to suspend him for three months highlights the gravity of the situation and the importance of upholding the integrity of budgetary processes. This incident adds to the ongoing discourse surrounding transparency and accountability in Nigeria's legislative affairs.
