Senator Ningi Confirms That Some Of His Colleagues Received N2m Holiday Allowance

Bauchi Central Senator (PDP), Abdul Ningi, spoke in a recent interview about the viral topic about senators receiving N2m for their vacation.

Abdul Ngigi was a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today, where he confirmed that the vacation allowance was real.

Ningi said. “Nothing has come to my account yet. I heard that some people got ₦2m but for me, nothing yet. Hopefully [I would get], when they tidy up things,” he said. The senator, however, faulted Akpabio’s remarks, which he described as unprecedented. “Some of these things, if they happen, you don’t broadcast it the way he did.

“I think it is a huge embarrassment to the Senate President as a person and to the institution of the National Assembly. The Senate President should have gone further to say what the allowances are for. How did he come about the allowances? Who gave the allowances? Is it part of the remuneration?” he asked.

“I don’t know what ₦2m would do for a holiday. I find it very difficult to understand what this money is for,” Ningi noted.
