Tinubu Meets Akpabio, Jibrin After Senate Suspends Ningi Over Budget Padding Allegation

But Ningi’s suspension flies in the face of legal precedent, as shown by a 2020 appeal court ruling in the case of some suspended members of the Ondo State House of Assembly.

Nonetheless, Tinubu’s meeting with the presiding officers of the senate, which was held at State House, Abuja, came as the senate faced yet another accusation of malfeasance. The senator for Cross River North, Agom Jarigbe, alleged that some ranking senators recently got N500 million intervention from the executive while others, including himself, got nothing.
