Senator Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe, representing Cross River North in the National Assembly, found himself at the center of controversy after abruptly ending a live interview session on Sunday, dodging questions regarding the 2024 budget.

During the interview on the Arise News breakfast show, Senator Jarigbe cited reluctance to delve into budgetary matters, expressing concerns about potential repercussions. The connection abruptly terminated as the discussion veered towards the budget.

When queried about specifics of the 2024 budget, Senator Jarigbe asserted that he did not meticulously review the budget line by line. He redirected the focus, urging attention to his efforts in representing his constituency and planning a thanksgiving event.

The exchange grew tense when the TV anchor pressed for budget details relevant to Senator Jarigbe's senatorial district. Frustrated, the Senator lamented the emphasis on budget discussions, suggesting it overshadowed his primary duties to his constituents.

Moments later, the connection to Senator Jarigbe was lost, leaving the interview unresolved.

The incident comes amidst broader scrutiny of the 2024 budget's integrity, sparked by allegations of padding leveled by Bauchi Central Senator, Abdul Ningi. The National Assembly and the Executive arm have refuted Ningi's claims, resulting in his suspension for three months.

As debates surrounding the budget persist, Senator Jarigbe's evasion of budget-related questions adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing discourse.
