This is why progress is difficult to achieve in a country like Nigeria. Ningi made an allegation, a very serious one which puts the accountability of the Senate in question yet no word about any investigation into the allegations. What does “let bygones be bygones” mean? That Ningi, from now on remains quiet when more padding is done or that it is business as usual in the Senate, every whistleblower will be dealt with. We cannot have a thriving democracy unless there are checks and balances in the affairs of those in charge. The Senate silenced him by suspending him and he is grateful to be back but at a cost to Nigerians.
