Suspended Bauchi Central Senator, Abdul Ningi, has accused the Senate of attempting to silence him or have him arrested after he exposed the alleged padding of the 2024 appropriation budget totaling N3.7 trillion.
Ningi was suspended by the Senate for three months for his claims that projects worth N3.7 trillion in the 2024 budget were unaccounted for.
However, during an interview on Arise Tv on Wednesday, Ningi asserted that no one could contain the revelations he had brought to light.
He said: “That is why I said I know this parliament very well, I have come a long way. And that is why we are speaking. Let’s speak.
“Have they ever asked me since the beginning of this so-called crisis, where are your findings? Where are the documents? I’m not using my head to come up with figures.
“Nobody has talked to me about evidence. Nobody has suggested even listening to me. All they are trying to do is to ensure that ‘how do we make sure that Ningi is silenced or arrested so that he doesn’t do anything?’
“I have opened this can of worms. Neither they nor I will be able to control it.”
