Suspended Senator Ningi Resigns 


Senator Abdul Ningi has resigned his position as the chairman of the Northern Senators Forum (NSF).


This comes barely an hour after Ningi was suspended for three months for alleging that the 2024 budget had been padded with illegal projects worth over N3 trillion.

In an interview, Ningi had claimed that the Federal Government is operating two versions of the 2024 budget and that the N28.7 trillion Budget passed and signed into law by President Bola Tinubu was skewed against the north.
