Chairman of the Northern Senators Forum, NSF, Senator Abdul Ningi (PDP-Bauchi Central) has insisted that projects worth N3.7 trillion in the 2024 Appropriation Act cannot be traced.
DAILY POST recalls that the BBC Hausa had, on Saturday, quoted Senator Ningi alleging that the Federal Government was operating an N28 trillion budget, contrary to the N25 trillion passed by the National Assembly.
However, the Presidency, in a statement issued on Sunday by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga denied the allegation.
Speaking at a press conference on Monday, the lawmaker maintained his stand, insisting that the findings made by the Northern Senators Forum were accurate.
Ningi, however, said that the views he expressed during his interview were his own, and not those of the Northern Senators Forum.
The lawmaker also denied saying that President Bola Tinubu was operating two separate 2024 budgets.
