Embattled leader of the Northern Senators Caucus, Abdul Ningi has come out to defend his claims of padding in the 2024 Budget after his controversial Hausa radio interview.

Addressing newsmen at the National Assembly, Senator Ningi insists that there was padding of N3.7 Trillion in the 2024 budget that is not traceable to any project.


President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio
He explains that he never said in the radio interview that the Federal Government is operating two budgets after the Presidency came out to defend itself in a statement issued by Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to the President, Bayo Onanuga.

Akpabio must go

Umri:
Budget padding in this hard times ?

You don't know how heartless this people are

They are telling us to be patient, while they pad budgets.

Senator is not scared...

A Fulani to the core

I double dare akpabio and Tinubu to do their foolish worst

Akpabio should resign

Tinubu will rubbish Akpabio completely as SP

Tinubu , shettima, akpabio and all his gangs in the executive, judiciary and legislature are dangerous disasters waiting to blow.

Tell Senator Ningi to go and treat his dementia.

He is living in a false reality to what has already occurred and already documented.

The Executive submitted a N27T budget which the national assembly saw fit to adjust to N28T, and, which the President approved as a N28T budget.

The record is in the different news records of each milestone of the budget approval process.

Only Abdul Ningi exist in a false reality of what did not occur.

Get that man the a doctor. This is Dementia knocking on his door.

Nothing will happen......
