Tinubu's Statement, a Final Blow On Ningi's Bogus Claims

The dust raised by Senator Abdul Ningi on the 2024 budget has finally been laid to rest with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's statement on the matter during an iftar with the leadership of the Senate on Thursday night.

The Senate's investigative hearing which was aired live on the NASSTV and other television stations would have laid to rest the controversy, however, the backers and promoters of it turned it into a fight between the North and the South and a plot to oust the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio.

"I know the arithmetic of the budget and the numbers that I brought to the National Assembly, and I know what numbers came back. I appreciate all of you for the expeditious handling of the budget. Thank you very much.There was a problem processing your submission. Please try again later. Since there is a window for Ningi, he should hastily tender an apology to the Senate to return to the Senate. And sin no more. He should return the script handed over to him by his godfather/paymaster, a perennial presidential contender so that he can concentrate on representing the good people of Bauchi Central Senatorial District.
