The hallowed halls of the Senate transformed into a battleground of fury as explosive revelations of uneven distribution of federal government palliatives rocked the chamber, igniting a fierce debate among lawmakers.
The uproar was sparked by Senator Abdul Ningi’s bombshell claim, alleging a staggering N3.7 trillion budget padding in the 2024 budget, sending shockwaves through the corridors of power.
Tensions reached a boiling point when Senator Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe representing Cross River North dropped another bombshell, exposing a stark contrast in palliative allocations, with some senators purportedly receiving a hefty N500 million while others were left with a paltry N200 million.
The revelation ignited a cacophony of dissent, plunging the Senate into chaos as heated exchanges and shouting matches erupted, leaving Senate President Godswill Akpabio struggling to restore order amidst the pandemonium.
