Popular Nigerian comedian and actor, Bright Okpocha, also known as Basket mouth, has lambasted the Nigerian senators over their responsibility to the country, aside from ‘padding budgets’.
This comes amidst the suspension of the Senator representing Bauchi Central in the National Assembly, Senator Abdul Ningi, from all legislative duties.
Raye24reporters reports that Ningi, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was suspended for three months during Tuesday’s plenary over allegations of padding the 2024 budget.
In a post on his Instagram story, Basketmouth tackled the Nigerian Senators, asking what they had done to favour the average Nigerian in the past 50 years.
He wrote, “I’ve got a question. Aside from padding budgets, what else do our senators do? Like… What have they done in the past 50 years that favoured the average Nigerian?”
