Recall that the senator was suspended for three-month
The senate officially pardoned and reinstated him, putting an end to his suspension that commenced on Tuesday, March 12.
As reported by Punch, last week, deputy minority leader senator Abba Moro initiated a motion for Ningi’s recall, expressing remorse on his behalf and assuming responsibility for his actions.
After deliberations, Senate President Godswill Akpabio announced Ningi’s unconditional recall following appeals from fellow lawmakers.
A video of his resumption was posted on x, and this has, however, sparked reactions from Nigerians across the country.
Ningi’s suspension stemmed from a contentious interview in which he raised concerns about discrepancies in the 2024 budget, alleging that the National Assembly approved N25 trillion while the Presidency implemented N28.7 trillion.
Some Nigerians have, however, also reacted to the reinstatement of senator Ningi.
