VIDEO: Senator Jarigbe said so called Senior Senators here got N500M

Senator Jarigbe said so called Senior Senators here got N500M.

President Bola Tinubu had proposed N27.5 trillion, but the lawmakers jerked it up by N1.2 trillion.

The Ogun west senator said his privilege was breached because he participated in the budgeting process.

“Ningi has maintained that N3 trillion in the budget was not linked to anything,” Adeola said.

“My privilege has been breached because I was one of those who participated in the preparation of the budget. With what has transpired in the last three days, my privilege has been breached.”

Ningi got a chance to defend himself, saying he had documents to prove the anomaly.

But the upper legislative chamber immediately descended into chaos when Jarigbe Jarigbe, senator representing Cross River north, claimed that some “older senators” got N500 million in the budget for constituency projects.

The Senate was plunged into a rowdy session on Tuesday as the Point of Order raised by the Chairman, Senate Committee on Appropriations, Senator Olamilekan Adeola, was hijacked by an escalation by Senator Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe representing Cross River North.

Adeola, an APC Ogun West senator raised a point of order against the allegation by former Senate Deputy leader and Chairman, Northern Senators Forum, Senator Abdul Ningi, PDP, Bauchi Central.
