On Thursday Senator Abdulaziz Musa Yar’Adua has emerged as the new chairman of the Northern Senators’ Forum after the resignation of Senator Abdul Ningi.
Senator Yar’Adua, an All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmaker, represents Katsina Central at the Nigeria’s upper legislative chamber.
His appointment as the forum’s new chair is coming two days after the suspension of Senator Abdul Ningi by the Senate following his accusation of the chamber of padding the 2024 budget to the tune of N3.7trillion.
Ningi, who represents Bauchi Central, had on Tuesday, blamed his resignation on unfolding events in the National Assembly, the north, and the nation at large.
Meanwhile, the forum has also appointed Senator Tahir Mungono representing Borno North as its spokesperson to replace Senator Sumaila Kawu.
Kawu was warned by the Senate to stop sharing posts capable of causing unrest in the country, following his earlier reported cases.
