BREAKING: Kwankwaso visits suspended Senator Ningi | Western Post

Senator Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate for the New Nigeria Peoples Party in the 2023 elections, recently visited suspended Senator Abdul Ahmed Ningi as a show of solidarity. Senator Ningi, who represents Bauchi Central Senatorial district, was suspended by the Senate following his interview with the BBC Hausa Service, during which he accused the Senate leadership of budget padding.

The former majority leader of the Senate received a three-month suspension after Senator Jimoh Ibrahim moved the motion. This action has sparked a debate and raised concerns about freedom of expression within the Senate.

Senator Ningi’s allegations of budget padding have also drawn attention to issues of transparency and accountability in Nigeria’s legislative processes. His suspension has ignited discussions about the extent to which senators can express dissenting views without facing repercussions from their colleagues.
