Alleged budget padding: N3.7trn was later discovered – Jarigbe on what Ningi should’ve done

He said, “For the nobble Senators that decided to
investigate the budget and even got a consultant to look at it, they probably
decided to do that before Senator Ningi who is a leader of that Forum took it
up.

“I don’t think it was necessary for them to do that and even
go to the press, I think it would have been brought to the floor of the Senate
to be discussed in our executive section.

“You discover that when the chairman of the Senate Committee
on Appropriation explained the situation, the N3.7 trillion was discovered to
have been captured under the GOEs, judiciary, national assemblies. Those were
in the first line charge.

“It was like an optical illusion. N3.7 trillion was a
fallacy. If it was brought to the floor of the Senate, the controversy would
have been explained”.
