 Senator Ningi Resumes Plenary After Three Months Suspension


The lawmaker representing Bauchi Central, Senator Abdul Ningi, has resumed his legislative duties in the upper chamber after a three-month suspension. 


He was suspended in March over budget padding claims.


But on Tuesday, Ningi, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senator, was sighted at the National Assembly premises in Abuja being driven in his black Toyota Landcruiser Jeep.


Approaching the NASS gate, he stopped briefly to exchange pleasantries with journalists who were on the ground to welcome him back.


“Members of the press, thank you very much,” the excited lawmaker told them. “I got all your messages.”


When asked if he enjoyed his leave, the senator replied saying: “Very much.”


The senator was recalled on May 28, after a process was initiated by Deputy Minority Leader, Senator Abba Moro, who expressed regret on behalf of the suspended lawmaker. He pledged to assume full responsibility for Ningi’s actions, acknowledging the gravity of the suspension.


The senator’s conduct during the period of suspension has been a matter of scrutiny and debate within the legislative body.


The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, announced the unconditional recall of Ningi after a brief plea by some lawmakers.


Akpabio emphasised the senator’s resourcefulness, and described him as a valued member of the Senate, adding that the decision to recall Ningi transcends religious and ethnic divides.


Ningi was recalled some two weeks to the end of his three-month suspension which is supposed to terminate on June 12, 2024.
