Ningi further alleged the existence of two budgets in circulation, asserting that the one currently being implemented is not the same as the one passed by the National Assembly.

Senator Ningi, who represents Bauchi Central and chairs the Northern Senators’ Forum and the Senate Committee on Population, tendered his resignation following his suspension.
