The Nation Newspaper Senate weighs options on Ningi’s recall
The Senate on March 12, 2024, shortly before it embarked on Easter and Sallah recess suspended Senator Ningi for three months for claiming during a BBC Hausa Service interview that the National Assembly passed two 2024 budgets.The Senate had rejected the allegations saying the amount was meant for statutory transfers to Federal Government institutions on first-line charge.
The suspension of Ningi and efforts being made to recall him would feature prominently upon resumption of the Senate, it was learnt. “When we were not in the chamber, there have been so many insinuations, there has been a report that a letter had been written by the counsel to Senator Ningi compelling the Senate President to recall Senator Ningi within seven days.
On a purported court judgement that a lawmaker can only be suspended for 14 days, Adaramodu said: I’m not a law court. That’s one. The issue of Senator Omo-Agege and this one are distinctly very different. In the Civil Service, that is the Civil Service Commission, Civil Servants are employed statutorily and nobody can tamper with their tenure too.
We have said it here, the only role that disciplinary action can curtail you from performing is sitting down with your colleagues in the chamber.
