JUST IN: Tinubu, Akpabio meet after northern senator’s suspension

 

 

President Bola Tinubu and Senate President Godswill Akpabio are currently meeting behind closed doors.

 

Politics Nigeria understands that Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin is also present at the private meeting at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa.

 

While Akpabio did not reveal the reason for his visit, a source say the meeting may not be unconnected with the events surrounding the suspension of Bauchi lawmaker, Abdul Ningi.

 

Ningi was suspended for three months after alleging that President Tinubu was implementing a different budget from that which was passed by the National Assembly in December 2023.

 

The lawmaker also accused Akpabio of inserting some illegal projects worth N3.7 trillion into the 2024 budget.

 

Details shortly…
