They have plotted to remove you before June 2024– Senate Leader tells Akpabio

Senate Leader tells Akpabio

In a senate session monitored by WestAfricaWeekly today, Senate Leader Michael Opeyemi Bamidele delivered a statement urging decisive action against Senator Abdul Ningi, who was later suspended for three months following accusations of deliberate misinformation.

“We must never accept any apology from Senator Ningi. It is ridiculous to do so. He lied deliberately,” Senator Bamidele emphasized before the assembly.

The suspension of Senator Ningi comes amidst allegations of deliberately spreading false information aimed at tarnishing the reputation of the Senate President. 

Bamidele noted the gravity of Ningi’s actions, asserting that they were not only intentional but also posed a threat to the integrity of the Senate.

“Mr. Senate President, you’re occupying that seat 40 years after a South-South person occupied it. The last time a Southerner was there was during Obasanjo, and they were being changed every time. It was only stable when it returned to the north. David Mark spent 8 years, Saraki completed his 4 years, Lawan spent his 4 years,” Bamidele remarked.

Drawing attention to potential ulterior motives behind Ningi’s actions, Senator Bamidele warned against complacency, suggesting that the aftermath of the June 2023 Senate presidential election might still be stirring discontent among certain quarters.

“Don’t be deceived, the losers of the June 2023 Senate presidential election are still angry. Some have accepted but a few haven’t. They have plotted to remove you before June 2024,” Bamidele noted.

Bamidele urged his fellow senators not to overlook Ningi’s mischief and stressed the necessity of applying appropriate sanctions.

He expressed concerns that Ningi’s actions could be part of a broader strategy to undermine the Senate President and called for vigilance in guarding against such deception.

“He did it on purpose. He knew he was lying; he set the public against you, and he will do it again. We must apply our sanction,” Bamidele concluded.
