More revelation have emerged concerning the ongoing budget padding saga indicating that some Senators got ₦500M naira each from the 2024 budget.
Senator Jarigbe, representing Cross River North senatorial district, made this known during the plenary session on Tuesday, while debating on the allegation of 2024 budget padding.
RAYO POST recalls that Senator Abdul Ningi representing Bauchi Central on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, had earlier alleged that N3.7 trillion was padded into the 2024 budget.
Ningi is the Chairman, Senate Committee on Population.
However, Jarigbe said that he didn’t get anything, and that no Senator has a right to accuse Senator Ningi.
“We are going back and forth with this issue of the budget and individual issues with what came to our various constituencies. If we want to go into those issues, all of us are culpable.
“Some Senators here, so called senior Senators got N500 million each. I am a ranking Senator and I didn’t get. Did I go to the press? Most of you got.”
