Senator Abdul Ningi might get an early resumption to the Senate from his three-month suspension, according to the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio.
He gave a clue during an engagement with journalists on arrival from the Inter-Parliamentary Union meeting in Geneva, Switzerland.
This is happening barely 24 hours after legal luminary, Femi Falana SAN, who is also the counsel to Senator Abdul Ningi wrote a letter giving Akpabio seven days to recall him or face legal action on Thursday.
Speaking, Akpabio said he hasn’t gotten the letter but he’s sure that it is getting the attention it deserves which may culminate in Ningi returning earlier than intended.
“It is a parliamentary decision. I have not seen the letter yet. But Senator Ningi is one of us. I mean what is suspension?
“I believe that in a few days, he will join us. So, there is no problem. It would be resolved amicably. The Senate is a family,” Akpabio said.
The Nigerian Senate suspended Senator Abdul Ningi on the 12th of March 2024 over his allegations of padding the 2024 budget brought before it by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu – GCFR.
