Cross River North, Senator Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe abruptly terminated a live television interview on Sunday, purportedly to avoid complications.
The Senator appeared on Arise News Channel’s morning show, where he faced probing questions regarding the specifics of the 2024 Budget.
When pressed about his scrutiny of the budget details, particularly by one of the female anchors who expressed surprise at his apparent lack of familiarity, Senator Jarigbe appeared unsettled.
He then asked the anchor to furnish him with details regarding budgetary allocations for his senatorial district, to which she responded by emphasizing her focus on scrutinizing budgets ministry by ministry rather than district-specific allocations.
This exchange led Senator Jarigbe to express frustration and underscore his preference for discussing matters concerning his constituents rather than diving into budget intricacies.
Ultimately, the interview was cut short as Senator Jarigbe disconnected from the call.
This incident is noteworthy against the backdrop of the recent Senate suspension of Senator Abdul Ningi from Bauchi Central, following his remarks during a radio interview questioning the absence of details and locations for significant projects in the 2024 budget.
