Senator Abdul Ningi, representing the Bauchi North Senatorial District, resumed his duties at the plenary sessions on Tuesday after a 77-day suspension.



The Senate granted Ningi a pardon, lifting the suspension that had been in effect since March 12, 2024. The motion for his recall was moved last week by Deputy Minority Leader Senator Abba Moro, who expressed regret on Ningi’s behalf and accepted responsibility for his actions.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio announced Ningi’s unconditional recall following pleas from several lawmakers. 

Ningi’s suspension stemmed from a controversial interview in which he claimed there were discrepancies in the 2024 budget. He stated that the National Assembly had approved N25 trillion, while the Presidency had implemented N28.7 trillion.
