Amalgamation of Bauchi Concerned Groups has called on the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio to as a matter of urgency, step aside and allow an independent investigation into the alleged budget padding by suspended Senator Abdul Ahmad Ningi representing Bauchi Central.
The call was made on Tuesday during a press conference by the group at the Conference Hall of the Bauchi NUJ Press Center.
The group described the suspension of Senator Abdul Ahmed Ningi as, “unlawful and undemocratic.”
It also demanded that the Senate should immediately withdraw the illegal and undemocratic suspension of Senator Ningi and tender an unreserved apology to the senator and to the good people of Bauchi Central Senatorial District whom he represents.
The group further demanded an order for an investigation into the allegation of N500 million given to some selected ranking senators of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, adding that the 2024 budget be reviewed and all anomalies therein be corrected with immediate effect.
