Another Red Chambers Lawmaker, Senator Jarigbe Agom has made an unexpected discovery over the alleged 2024 budget padding.
During a session in the Senate House, Senator Agom seemed to have put fuel to the fire of increasing chaos around the 2024 budget, which was started by Senator Abdul Ningi.
The Arise News posted a brief video of Senator Jarigbe Agom on X, in which he stated that Senator Ningi should not be accused because everyone is responsible.
He said: "We are having this back-and-forth because a few senators got N500 million each."
The lawmaker reportedly said he received no compensation for his position as ranking senator.
"We are arguing about the budget and specific concerns raised by our constituents," he stated.
He added: "Everyone is responsible if we wish to address this matter. A few senators, posing as "seniors," received N500 million each from the budget for 2024.
"As a ranking senator, I was confused; should I have contacted the media? It seems like most of you have it. (Reactions from other senators began).
"I don't think any senator has the authority to accuse Senator Ningi if we're going to get into these topics."
