Renowned Nigerian DJ, DJ Neptune, has launched a scathing criticism against the Nigerian Senate, accusing its members, under the leadership of Senator Godswill Akpabio, of prioritising personal gain over national interest.

The DJ’s comments came in the wake of the suspension of Senator Abdul Ningi, who had raised allegations of budget padding during a tumultuous session of the Senate on Tuesday.

In his outspoken critique, DJ Neptune condemned the actions of the Senate, asserting that the institution is plagued by self-serving agendas rather than a dedication to the welfare of the nation.

The suspension of Senator Abdul Ningi, for daring to expose alleged budget irregularities, further underscored Neptune’s indictment of the Senate’s leadership.

Neptune’s remarks were particularly pointed, as he lamented the apparent lack of genuine public service among Nigerian senators.

“No senator is serving Nigeria but their pockets,” the DJ declared, reflecting a growing sentiment of disillusionment among many Nigerians towards their political representatives.

The controversy surrounding the 2024 budget, exacerbated by Ningi’s suspension, has reignited concerns about transparency and accountability within Nigeria’s legislative body.

The uproar during the Senate’s plenary session underscored the deep-seated tensions and divisions within the institution, as lawmakers grappled with allegations of misconduct and malfeasance.

As a prominent figure within the Nigerian entertainment industry, his criticism carries weight and may galvanize further scrutiny of the Senate’s actions and policies.
