added to scale up the budget to

Houses Services. Ninjai had in the BBC

15
00:01:21,120 –> 00:01:26,079
interview on Friday alleged that three point
seven trillion mirs was not tied to specific

16
00:01:26,120 –> 00:01:33,480
projects in the twenty twenty four budgets. Also according to punt newspaper, at

17
00:01:33,480 –> 00:01:38,840
the press conference on Monday, the
senator insisted on the allegation, adding that

18
00:01:38,879 –> 00:01:44,480
he was not afraid of suspension.
After Abloom Ninja was suspended for three months

19
00:01:44,560 –> 00:01:48,920
on Tuesday by the Upper Chamber of
the National Assembly, he resigned as the

20
00:01:49,000 –> 00:01:55,200
chairman of the Northern Senator’s full Meanwhile, there was first revelations raised at the

21
00:01:55,239 –> 00:02:00,439
Senate Pinary on Tuesday indicating that so
rankin senators got fun one hundred million mirrors

22
00:02:00,519 –> 00:02:06,400
each for their constituency projects in the
twenty twenty four budget passed by the National

23
00:02:06,480 –> 00:02:12,120
Assembly. The ranking senators are considered
in accordance with the Senate rooms that any

24
00:02:12,159 –> 00:02:15,680
Lomerican who have spent at least a
term in the House of Representatives or Senate

25
00:02:16,199 –> 00:02:22,000
is qualified to be considered as a
ranking senator. It was gathered that the

26
00:02:22,120 –> 00:02:27,680
list of senators in the tenth Senate
qualified as ranking senators are thirty four in

27
00:02:27,840 –> 00:02:32,120
numbers. Aggregates of the total amounts
said to have given to the ranking senators

28
00:02:32,159 –> 00:02:39,400
amounted to seventeen billion as their constituency
projects voted, revealing the secret Senator Jean

29
00:02:39,560 –> 00:02:45,800
V. Jerig representing PDP cross Riman
Mouth, while speaking giving the debates of

30
00:02:45,840 –> 00:02:51,120
the motion on reach of privilege room
by Senator or amulican Adeola of APC representing

31
00:02:51,199 –> 00:02:55,879
a U West against Senator Agum Ninjai
of PvP Bauchi Central ob Ninjas interview with

32
00:02:55,960 –> 00:03:01,080
the BBC alleged that senior senators got
five one hundred million mirrors each as ranking

33
00:03:01,159 –> 00:03:07,360
senators. Jarednes’s revelation led to a
rounway session at the cleanery, with some

34
00:03:07,520 –> 00:03:14,599
senators denied collecting the amount. According
to punt miwspaper, Jared Letter clarified in

35
00:03:14,639 –> 00:03:19,400
an interview on Arise still believed that
the morning was for constituency projects, not

36
00:03:19,520 –> 00:03:24,439
for personal pariatives of the senators.
Jaredness said issues about the mission three point

37
00:03:24,520 –> 00:03:30,400
seven trillion miarers as alleged by Ninja
have been clarified under the government’s owned enterprises

38
00:03:30,439 –> 00:03:36,360
and the first line charge. He
said in quotes, I thought this issue

39
00:03:36,360 –> 00:03:39,879
should have and then when the Chairman
of the Committee on Appropriation explained that the

40
00:03:39,919 –> 00:03:46,159
three point seven trillion mirrors was under
those and the first line charge, that

41
00:03:46,479 –> 00:03:51,319
explains everything. We are going back
and fought on this issue and coming up

42
00:03:51,360 –> 00:03:57,240
with the issue of budgets and individual
issues concerning what comes into our various constituencies.

43
00:03:58,000 –> 00:04:01,039
If we want to go into those
issues, all of us are culpable.

44
00:04:01,919 –> 00:04:08,199
Some senators here, the so called
senior senators, got five hundred million

45
00:04:08,280 –> 00:04:13,280
nyrus. Bitch. I am a
ranking senator, but I didn’t get it.

46
00:04:13,759 –> 00:04:16,160
Then I got to the press.
Most of you here got it.

47
00:04:16,680 –> 00:04:21,959
This is an important clarification. I
was speaking when the microphone went off.

48
00:04:23,360 –> 00:04:29,240
I was told by Ninja that song
ranking senators got five hundred million miyers.

49
00:04:29,519 –> 00:04:32,720
Ninja came to me and said that
there were discrepancies in the budget and I

50
00:04:32,839 –> 00:04:39,879
told him that let’s go to the
Senate President. Senator Yayi Adeola has cleared

51
00:04:39,920 –> 00:04:44,199
the air on the three trillion mirs, so there is no pardon anywhere.

52
00:04:45,000 –> 00:04:48,879
Senator Ninjai told me that he got
five hundred million nyers vote of projects in

53
00:04:48,959 –> 00:04:55,120
the budget I sent Senator Ninja,
I shouldn’t be the one speaking about certain

54
00:04:55,160 –> 00:05:00,800
things. Also, speaking during the
Tunesday Cinary, Senator Okain Bambi Delay of

55
00:05:00,920 –> 00:05:06,040
a Precy representing a Kity Central stated
that though the senators got five hundred million

56
00:05:06,160 –> 00:05:12,639
mires, it was for constituency projects. I was going through online and it’s

57
00:05:12,720 –> 00:05:16,560
trending that every senator got five hundred
million mireers here today and I am not

58
00:05:16,720 –> 00:05:21,959
going to deny anything. My appeal
to Nigerians today is not about what was

59
00:05:23,000 –> 00:05:27,240
said here today because I am not
going to deny that. But we have

60
00:05:27,399 –> 00:05:31,079
twelve months to implement those budgets and
see whether any of these senators here will

61
00:05:31,079 –> 00:05:39,199
not implement bobus in absolar street lights, road construction, training and empartment that

62
00:05:39,279 –> 00:05:43,560
will not be up to five hundred
million mires. What a bum Ningia wanted

63
00:05:43,600 –> 00:05:47,360
to do was stant amount to a
civilian coup. It is always about Apabio,

64
00:05:47,879 –> 00:05:53,839
never about the House of Representatives or
the President. It is not about

65
00:05:53,959 –> 00:05:59,160
North and South. It is about
our rules. I am speaking as Babidelay,

66
00:05:59,600 –> 00:06:02,920
not as a Senate leader. The
last time a South South passes was

67
00:06:02,959 –> 00:06:09,480
ever given the opportunity to become president
was over forty years ago. We have

68
00:06:09,560 –> 00:06:14,959
another peaceful senate. But why is
it always about a babio. We must

69
00:06:15,000 –> 00:06:18,920
do this right. He Ninjai said. Some of us brought one hundred billion

70
00:06:19,000 –> 00:06:24,800
dollars. Why do we need an
apology? If I have anything here,

71
00:06:25,240 –> 00:06:29,879
it is not money put in my
pocket. They are for constituency projects.

72
00:06:30,480 –> 00:06:33,480
Let us do the right thing,
Senator Baby, the least statement ends in

73
00:06:33,680 –> 00:06:41,759
coote. Another Senator, Sanni Musa
of APC Nija East said, any discovery

74
00:06:41,839 –> 00:06:45,319
that I have not seen, to
me, it is not a discovery.

75
00:06:46,079 –> 00:06:51,000
Distinguished Senators Ninjai and Karu, I
am not a secumd class Landa. If

76
00:06:51,000 –> 00:06:56,759
there is anything that happens in the
Northern Senator’s follum, they do not inform

77
00:06:56,839 –> 00:07:00,959
you. If anybody says he has
seen any thing, provide the evidence.

78
00:07:01,439 –> 00:07:06,519
But when I saw the post from
Senator Sumaila Kaaro, I was disappointed.

79
00:07:08,279 –> 00:07:12,079
We will deal with the budget,
but we have to also deal with our

80
00:07:12,120 –> 00:07:17,120
ethical standards in this senate. G
is funding. Senator Abum Ninja stated that

81
00:07:17,240 –> 00:07:23,480
he never mentioned padding in the twenty
twenty four budgets. I have never issued

82
00:07:23,480 –> 00:07:28,319
a statement of this to anybody,
anywhere and any time. What is being

83
00:07:28,399 –> 00:07:32,839
forwarded is the distorted version of what
I said, mister Chairman. You will

84
00:07:32,879 –> 00:07:38,319
recall last Tuesday, raf Kaou and
I said we wanted to have an audience

85
00:07:38,399 –> 00:07:42,720
with you. The nothern senator’s for
a mate with you on Tuesday, and

86
00:07:42,800 –> 00:07:46,000
this copy is with me. I
am the only one who has a copy

87
00:07:46,040 –> 00:07:50,759
of our findings. At the end
of our conversation, you said that the

88
00:07:50,800 –> 00:07:56,759
way the budget was brought to us
didn’t allow us to burgit appurately. I

89
00:07:56,959 –> 00:08:01,399
know that the budget was increased by
one point two trill mirrors, but I

90
00:08:01,439 –> 00:08:07,040
am not aware of the National Assembly
budget or what was increased. We discovered

91
00:08:07,040 –> 00:08:11,879
some alarmaies, some things were repeated
in the budget. Some Senatorial districts have

92
00:08:13,079 –> 00:08:18,079
one hundred and twenty billion layers,
some fifteen billion miers, some thirteen billionaires,

93
00:08:18,160 –> 00:08:22,560
while my senatorial district just has two
billion laires and others have less than

94
00:08:22,600 –> 00:08:28,319
one billion mires. I did not
know the takeoff pay of the Senate President

95
00:08:28,439 –> 00:08:33,559
while Blue Mine and of course of
Senator abloom Nina speech during the interview with

96
00:08:33,679 –> 00:08:39,080
the BBC Houses Service, Senator Abum
Ninji had arranged to have the budget passed

97
00:08:39,080 –> 00:08:43,600
by the National Assembly for the twenty
twenty four fiscal year was twenty five trillion

98
00:08:43,679 –> 00:08:50,240
mirrors while the one being implemented by
the Presidency was twenty eight point seven trillion

99
00:08:50,320 –> 00:08:54,720
mirors. For the first time in
Nigerian history, today we are operating two

100
00:08:54,799 –> 00:09:01,960
different budgets. One budget was approved
by the National Assembly and signed by President

101
00:09:01,000 –> 00:09:07,080
Bolla Tilubu and the one was implemented
by the Presidency. The one approved by

102
00:09:07,159 –> 00:09:13,240
US is twenty five trillion lireers one
the one being operated by Federal government is

103
00:09:13,279 –> 00:09:18,919
twenty eight trillion miers. Apparently,
we discover three trillion miers was inserted into

104
00:09:18,919 –> 00:09:24,799
the budgets for projects without vacations.
This is the highest budget parding that happened

105
00:09:24,840 –> 00:09:31,360
in Nigerian history. Under Senator Apabulous
Watch, we resolved as the People’s representatives

106
00:09:31,399 –> 00:09:37,840
to see President Tyllubu on this issue
with facts and figures to ask him if

107
00:09:37,840 –> 00:09:41,120
he is aware of this embarrassments or
not, then from that we will take

108
00:09:41,200 –> 00:09:46,960
action. Let Nigerians be patient with
us. This is a national issue.

109
00:09:48,120 –> 00:09:54,480
It affects all Nigerians irrespective of party, trial or religion. Senator Ninja quoted

110
00:09:54,600 –> 00:09:58,960
to have said in the BBC interview
as translated and made available by Pumpt newspaper,

111
00:10:00,879 –> 00:10:07,240
the Senate President Goswu Apamil said Nigerians
are mashing the Senate. Many Nigerians

112
00:10:07,279 –> 00:10:13,320
will never in future come back to
respect this chamber. The integrity of this

113
00:10:13,559 –> 00:10:16,919
chamber has been totally damaged and he
wanted you to repay it with your speech.

114
00:10:18,840 –> 00:10:22,840
Instead of that, you said you
have more documents to prove what you

115
00:10:22,919 –> 00:10:28,120
are saying. Neston is in the
public blare. I have not received full

116
00:10:28,200 –> 00:10:31,799
details up to this moment. If
you had given me full details, I

117
00:10:31,879 –> 00:10:37,200
would have been able to know what
you know. So far, what you

118
00:10:37,279 –> 00:10:41,200
know is only known to you.
It is not known to any other person.

119
00:10:41,039 –> 00:10:46,080
I don’t know how you rushed to
the press carrying different virgeons. Social

120
00:10:46,159 –> 00:10:52,480
media is very fast from Canada,
the United States everywhere. The story was

121
00:10:52,559 –> 00:10:58,279
burg just pardoned by the Senate.
I can coote a sception of the Premium

122
00:10:58,279 –> 00:11:03,679
Times that said the highest level of
budget paddy in Nigeria’s history, where the

123
00:11:03,720 –> 00:11:07,399
budget passed a budget of twenty five
trillion liers, but what we collected was

124
00:11:07,440 –> 00:11:13,639
twenty eight trillion liers, reports indicated
that President Bonard Tinbo on Tuesday held a

125
00:11:13,720 –> 00:11:20,840
close the meeting with the Senate President
Gottlo Apavio, Deputy Senate President Barral Jagren

126
00:11:22,240 –> 00:11:26,120
and some other Jankas at the State
House, Abuja. We learned that the

127
00:11:26,200 –> 00:11:33,080
meeting was held following the suspension of
Senator Abundi Janko arranged that the executive was

128
00:11:33,120 –> 00:11:37,200
implemented a budget over than the one
approved on January first, twenty twenty four.

129
00:11:39,919 –> 00:11:43,320
Lady then in the World EXA
