Senator Abdul Ningi has resigned his position as the Chairman of the Northern Senators Forum.
The resignation came one hour after he was suspended for lying against the Senate on the padding of the 2024 budget.
Ningi’s letter read: “I will like to resign my position as the Chairman of the Northern Senators forum.
“This is of course necessitated by unfolding events in the National Assembly, the North and the Nation at large.
“I will like to specially thank members of the forum for the opportunity given to me for the last eight (8) months to spearhead this very Important forum.
“I believe this forum is very important and fundamental to the progress and development of Northern Nigeria.”
