<h2>The Bauchi State Governor, <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/topic/bala-mohammed/">Bala Mohammed</a>, has voiced the state government's solidarity with Senator Abdul Ningi in a show of support following his recent suspension from the Nigerian Senate.</h2>
<p>The controversy, stemming from Ningi's remarks regarding an untraceable N3.7 trillion in the 2024 budget, has sparked significant debate and led to his three-month suspension on Tuesday.</p>
<p>Representing Bauchi Central senatorial district, Senator Ningi has been a vocal participant in the legislative process.</p>
<p>His comments, which aimed to highlight transparency concerns within the 2024 budget, led to his resignation as Chairman of the Northern Senators Forum (NSF) amid the ensuing fallout.</p>
<p>The situation escalated when Senator Olamilekan Adeola (APC, Ogun West), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriation, cited a breach of privilege against Ningi during a Senate session.</p>
<p>Adeola's motion was prompted by Ningi's interview with the BBC Hausa, which called into question the accountability mechanisms in place for the forthcoming Money Bill.</p>
<p>Jimoh Ibrahim, another member of the Appropriation Committee, initially proposed a more severe twelve-month suspension for Ningi, citing allegations of criminal misinformation and a breach of peace within the National Assembly.</p>
<p>However, a compromise was reached when some senators advocated for a reduced suspension period of three months, which was subsequently ratified by the Senate.</p>
<p>Speaking during the State Executive Council meeting at the Government House, Bauchi, on Wednesday, Mohammed said, <em>“yesterday I was very sad the Senate suspended one of our best from Bauchi for saying the truth, for standing up to be the beacon of the truth.”</em></p>
<p>Mohammed, who is also the chairman PDP Governors’ Forum, said, <em>“Equally I don’t know what we will do but we will discuss privately to see what we can do to support him because I support whatever he is doing and that is our best position especially if what he saying is the truth."</em></p>
