Suspended Senator Abdul Ningi has issued a 7-day ultimatum to the Senate and its President, Godswill Akpabio, to recall him or face legal action among others.
Remember that Ningi was suspended for three months by his colleagues for blowing the whistle on purported padding of 2024 budget with N3.7tn by the leadership of the Red Chamber.
Weeks into serving the punishment meted out to him, the Bauchi Central Senator is demanding the lifting of the suspension not more than seven days’ time, failing, the Senate and Akpabio would have their days in court.
He made this demand by means of a pre-action letter his lawyer, Femi Falana(SAN) authored and addressed to the Senate.
The letter that is in public domain, read in part, “In view of the foregoing, you will agree with us that the suspension of Senator Ningi and the denial of his entitlements are illegal and unconstitutional in every material particular.
“We are compelled to request you to ensure that the said suspension is lifted forthwith.
“However, if you fail to accede to our request seven days upon receipt of this letter, we shall not hesitate to pray the Federal High Court for the reinstatement of our client. We shall equally report you to the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee for treating the judgments of the Federal High Court and the Court of Appeal with disdain.”
