While the agenda of the meeting hasn’t been disclosed, it’s believed to be related to Ningi’s suspension. This action stemmed from comments attributed to Ningi, suggesting that President Tinubu was implementing a budget different from what was presented to the National Assembly. Ningi claimed that the Federal Government, under Tinubu’s leadership, was executing a budget significantly larger than the one passed by the NASS.

According to the lawmakers, the budget debated and passed was worth N25 trillion

According to the lawmakers, the budget debated and passed was worth N25 trillion, not the N28.7 trillion currently being implemented. Ningi reiterated his stance on Monday, asserting that N3.7 trillion couldn’t be accounted for in the 2024 budget.

During Tuesday’s plenary session, the Senate suspended Ningi for three months due to his statements.

Following the meeting with the President, the President of the Senate didn’t speak to journalists.
