In response to the recent controversies surrounding the alleged padding of Nigeria's 2024 budget, popular comedian Basketmouth, whose real name is Bright Okpocha, has raised questions about the accomplishments of Nigerian senators.
The controversy arose after Bauchi Central Senator Abdul Ningi claimed in an interview that N3.7 trillion in the 2024 budget could not be traced to specific projects. In response, the Senate, led by President Godswill Akpabio, suspended Ningi for three months.
Taking to his Instagram story to express his thoughts, Basketmouth pondered whether the Nigerian Senate had ever undertaken actions beneficial to the masses besides allegedly padding budgets.
He wrote: “I have got a question, aside padding budgets, what else do our senators do?
“Like, what have they done in the past 50 years that favored the average Nigerian?”
