The Senate has recalled Senator Abdul Ahmed Ningi (Bauchi Central) from suspension.
He was slammed with suspension on March 12, 2024, for accusing the Senate of budget padding.
About two weeks before his three-month suspension was supposed to end on June 12, 2024, he was called back to his duties.
On Tuesday, the process to bring him back started when Deputy Minority Leader Sen. Abba Moro suggested it. He felt sorry for the senator who was suspended and promised to take the blame for what happened. Moro understood how serious the suspension was.
The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, said Ningi could return without any conditions after some lawmakers asked for it.
