Senator Ningi resumes plenary after three months suspension

THE lawmaker representing Bauchi Central, Senator Abdul Ningi, has resumed his legislative duties in the upper chamber after a three-month suspension.

He was suspended in March over budget padding claims.

But on Tuesday, Ningi, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senator, was sighted at the National Assembly premises in Abuja being driven in his black Toyota Landcruiser Jeep.

Approaching the NASS gate, he stopped briefly to exchange pleasantries with journalists who were on the ground to welcome him back.

“Members of the press, thank you very much,” the excited lawmaker told them. “I got all your messages.”

When asked if he enjoyed his leave, the senator replied saying: “Very much.”
