•Senators Bamidele and Ningi
Senator Opeyemi Bamidele from Ekiti Central Senatorial District has described as a “civilian coup”, claims made by Senator Abdul Ningi that the 2024 Budget passed by the Senate was padded.
A furious Bamidele, who is also the Majority Leader of the upper chamber, alleged that Ningi, who represents Bauchi Central Senatorial District, attempt to unseat Senate President Godswill Akpabio by allegedly inciting the Northern Senators’ Forum against the Akpabio, a southern senator, who took over from Ahmad Lawan.
The Frontier reports that Senator Ningi was later during the plenary suspended for three months.
