Senate President Godswill Akpabio has announced that the Nigerian Senate is set to re recall Senator Abdul Ningi from his three’month suspension.
Akpabio disclosed this while answering questions from reporters on arrival from the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) meeting in Geneva, Switzerland.
He said that the Senate would soon review the three-month suspension it slammed on Ningi for claiming that the 2024 budget was allegedly padded with the sum of N3.7trillion.
This is coming up after Ningi gave Akpabio 7-day-ultimatum to restore him or face legal action.
This wss contained in a letter written by Ningi’s counsel, Femi Falana SAN.
Akpabio said the matter would be resolved like a family affair and hopefully Ningi would return to take his seat earlier than expected.
Akpabio said: “It is a parliamentary decision. I have not seen the letter yet. But Senator Ningi is one of us. I mean what is suspension?
“I believe that in a few days he will join us. So, there is no problem. It would be resolved amicably. The Senate is a family.”
