Despite the hurried suspension of budget padding whistle-blower, Senator Abdul Ningi, by the Senate on Tuesday, there were more calls yesterday for a thorough probe of the allegations. The calls got louder as BudgIT, a public data organisation, fact checked Ningi’s claims that there were no detailed project allocations for about N3.7 trillion of the N28.78 trillion 2024 budget. Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi, yesterday said the Senate owes Nigerians clarification on the alleged padding of the 2024 budget.
