Labour Party Presidential Candidate Peter Obi has demanded transparency regarding the alleged N3 trillion budget padding scandal currently rocking the Nigerian Senate.
Obi emphasized the need for explanations amidst claims and counter-claims surrounding the padded funds, stressing the importance of proper management of the nation’s finances.
The controversy escalated after the suspension of Senator Abdul Ningi, who alleged N3.7 trillion padding in the 2024 budget, prompting responses from both the Senate and the Presidency.
Obi reiterated the necessity for accountability and optimal utilization of public funds to address critical developmental challenges facing Nigeria.
