But we\u2019re yet to ascertain N3 trillion of that project. We\u2019ve established N3 trillion in the budget, we\u2019ve not established its location.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe intention of the northern senators as regards the budgetary allocation was to meet the Senate president with our findings and subsequently meet President Bola Ahmed Tinubu with our findings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo if one is questioning our desire to relate with Bola Tinubu, how will I say that the findings of the Northern Senators Forum will go the Senate President and then President Tinubu, the commander in chief?\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>He said that he was not bothered about being suspended for making the allegation.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cIf it is a cross I have to carry, I\u2019ll carry it. I\u2019m not afraid of anything. I believe in one God and I believe power is transient. I\u2019m not scared of any issue like suspension. I have been out of the Senate for eight years, and people had to force me back. Some of my friends were removed by tribunals, they\u2019re living their lives. If because I said what I said, then I will be suspended, then so be it, it will be an honour for me to be suspended by whatever body&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ningi added that he was speaking in individual capacity and not on behalf of the Northern Senators Forum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe interview I had with the BBC was not an interview for the Northern Senators Forum, it was an interview for myself. I don\u2019t want people to castigate them. I want people to castigate me as the leader. I want to make sure that whatever happens, happens to me,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate is to deliberate on the matter today<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ningi claimed that the President Bola Tinubu-led government was implementing a budget different from the one approved on January 1, 2024.
