Reactions have trailed the suspension of Abdul Ningi, senator representing Bauchi central, after he alleged that the 2024 budget was padded by N3 trillion Naira.
The upper legislative chamber during the debate leading up to Ningi’s suspension descended into chaos when senator representing Cross River north, Jarigbe Jarigbe claimed that some senior senators received N500 million Naira in the budget for constituency projects.
The majority leader of the senate, Opeyemi Bamidele, during Tuesday’s plenary, claimed that some senators are planning to impeach Senate President Godswill Akpabio before the 13th of June 2024, and that the allegation made by Ningi was “tantamount” to a “civilian coup” against Akpabio.
Bamidele also admitted that 500 million naira was given to certain Senators and urged Nigerians to be patient with the senators to see if they don’t use the money for their constituency projects.
Nigerians have reacted to a workshop organized by the Office of the accountant general of the federation on International Public Sector Accounting Standards and Public Financial Management for state commissioners of finance and officials of the OAGF, which took place at the Hilton London Kensington, in the United Kingdom between the 4th of march to the 9th.
A picture showing a banner advertising the event made the rounds on social media. Barely six days after the abduction of 287 pupils in the Chikun Local Government Area, of Kaduna state, Terrorists have kidnapped no fewer than 61 persons during an invasion of Buda Hausa, another community in Kajuru Local Government Area.
The Terrorists were said to have invaded the community in the early hours of Tuesday, unleashing terror on residents, from around midnight to 1:00am, when they were asleep. The director-general of the World Trade Organisation, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has called on the federal government to ensure the release of the students abducted by Terrorists in Kaduna and Sokoto states. Okonjo-Iweala spoke in Abuja on Tuesday, during the launch of the ‘WTO-ITC’ 2024 technical assistance programme for Nigeria. A shocking video which captured the moment, a final year student of Abia State University was shot dead by alleged cultists has elicited outrage on social media.
The video, which was recorded off campus, shows the victim crawling in an attempt to escape from the alleged cultists who chased him to his death, one of his attackers filmed while the other, shot him point blank.
