Nigeria, March 28 -- Suspended Bauchi Central senator, Abdul Ningi, has written to the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, demanding his reinstatement.

Mr Ningi conveyed the letter through his lawyer, Femi Falana, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN).

According to the letter, Mr Ningi gave a seven-day ultimatum to the senate leadership to reinstate him or risk legal action.

The Senate suspended Mr Ningi for three months on 12 March, for accusing the leadership of the Senate of fraudulently smuggling projects worth N3 trillion into the 2024 budget.

The lawmaker had claimed that he sought the services of a private auditor to review the budget and discovered some projects that did not have locations.
