Abdul Ningi, a suspended Bauchi Central Senator, claims that the Senate is attempting to silence or jail him for revealing the alleged padding of the 2024 appropriation budget by N3.7 trillion.
The Senate banned Ningi for three months for asserting that N3.7 trillion in projects in the 2024 budget were untraceable.
However, speaking on Arise TV on Wednesday, Ningi stated that no one could manage the bag of worms he had unleashed.
He said: “That is why I said I know this parliament very well, I have come a long way. And that is why we are speaking. Let’s speak.
“Have they ever asked me since the beginning of this so-called crisis, where are your findings? Where are the documents? I’m not using my head to come up with figures.
“Nobody has talked to me about evidence. Nobody has suggested even listening to me. All they are trying to do is to ensure that ‘how do we make sure that Ningi is silenced or arrested so that he doesn’t do anything?’
“I have opened this can of worms. Neither they nor I will be able to control it.”
