The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), has renewed its earlier call for the Federal Government to conduct a forensic audit of the controversial 2024 budget that has been enmeshed in a padding scandal that saw the figure raised from N25 trillion to N28 trillion, with an addition of N3.7 trillion.
In an open letter addressed to President Bola Tinubu on Monday by the party’s Acting National Publicity Secretary, Muhammed Ishaq, the PRP also demanded a review of the suspension of Sen. Abdul Ningi by the Senate for blowing the whistle on the alleged budget padding.
In its earlier press release, the PRP had opined that if the budget padding was true, it “represented gross misconduct and a blatant disregard for the principles of transparency, accountability, and fiscal responsibility that our great nation deserves especially at these trying times.”
