Popular comedian Bright Okpocha, also known as Basketmouth, has raised concerns about the achievements of Nigerian senators.
This comes in the midst of the ongoing controversies surrounding the alleged padding of N3.7 trillion into the country’s 2024 budget.
Allub Times reports that Senator Abdul Ningi from Bauchi Central recently claimed in an interview that the N3.7 trillion in the 2024 budget could not be accounted for in terms of projects.
In response to this allegation, the Senate, led by President Godswill Akpabio, suspended Ningi for three months during Tuesday’s plenary session.
Addressing this situation on his Instagram story, Basketmouth questioned whether the Nigerian Senate has ever taken any actions that benefit the general public aside from padding budgets.
He wrote: “I have got a question, aside padding budgets, what else do our senators do?
“Like, what have they done in the past 50 years that favored the average Nigerian?”
