Senate President Godswill Akpabio and the leadership of the Senate are currently having a closed-door meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin and other top members of the Senate are attending the meeting.
The meeting is coming shortly after the suspension of Senator Abdul Ningi of Bauchi Central (PDP) who recently alleged that the 2024 Budget had been padded up to the tune of ₦3 trillion.
Ningi also alleged that there are two budgets in circulation and that the one currently being implemented is not the one passed by the National Assembly.
Ningi who represents Bauchi Central and chairs the Northern Senators’ Forum and Senate Committee on Population, tendered his resignation after his suspension.
