The last might not have been heard from Senator representing Bauchi Central, Abdul Ningi, as he said, no one can control the can of worms that he has opened in the Senate.
Ningi also alleged that the Senate is making attempts to arrest him over his allegation of padding in the 2024 appropriation budget to the tune of N3.7 trillion.
Ningi disclosed this in an interview monitored on Arise Television.
He said, “I have opened this can of worms. Neither they nor I will be able to control it.
“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?’
Recall Ningi had earlier accused the Senate of padding the 2024 budget, saying the National Assembly added an extra N3.7 trillion to the initial budget.
