Alleged Budget Padding: “no one can control the can of worms I’ve opened” — Ningi

Senator Abdul Ningi has stated that no one can control the can of worms he opened following his claims that the 2024 budget was padded by the senate.

Ningi is also claiming that the Senate is trying to arrest him for accusing them of padding the 2024 budget with a massive N3.7 trillion.

Ningi disclosed this in an interview on Arise Television on Thursday.

Recall that the Senate suspended Ningi for three months for claiming that projects worth N3.7 trillion in the 2024 budget were untraceable.

Speaking in an interview with Arise TV, Ningi 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.”
