In a recent Senate session, Senator Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe exposed corruption within the ranks as he disclosed that senior senators received ₦500 million each from the 2024 budget.
Shockingly, a video captured Senate President Akpabio attempting to silence Jarigbe by instructing the cutting off of his microphone, asserting that he was not supposed to be present during the revelation. The footage has sparked controversy and raised concerns about transparency within the Senate, as lawmakers faced accusations of financial impropriety.
The incident underscores the challenges of addressing corruption within the government, and Nigerians express frustration over the lack of accountability amid ongoing economic difficulties.
