Senator Jimoh Ibrahim, a member of the Senate Appropriation Committee, has called for Senator Abdul Ningi to be charged by the Federal Government over alleged breaches of peace and criminal misinformation within the National Assembly.
Ningi’s recent claims regarding untraceable projects worth N3.7 trillion in the 2024 Appropriation Act and an alleged discrepancy between the budget figures provided by the National Assembly and those purportedly being operated by the Federal Government prompted Jimoh’s response.
