The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has said the suspension of Senator Abdul Ningi by the Senate has not addressed vital issues emanating from his allegation.

Obi said the Senate still owes the Nigerian public a clear clarification over the various claims and counterclaims, including those involving the executive arm of government.

The former Anambra State governor also stated that the upper chamber should disclose to Nigerians the exact amounts allocated for constituency projects for appropriate monitoring of implementation by the public.

He made this known in a statement on his X handle in reaction to the three-month suspension of Ningi over his unsubstantiated claims of budget padding.

Obi claimed that fresh allegations have also cropped up over the indiscriminate and unbalanced allocation of constituency projects by the Senate leadership.

He added that the nation must, as a matter of urgency, put a stop to all the wasting of its scarce resources, amid the excruciating hardship in the country.
