Senator Abdul Ningi (PDP, Bauchi Central) on Tuesday resumed plenary after he was recalled from his suspension.

Senator Ningi arrived the National Assembly with other Senators including Suleiman Kawu (NNPP, Kano South), Aminu Waziri Tambuwal (PDP, Sokoto South) and many others.
As a result of his suspension, Ningi lost his position as chairman, Senate Committee on National Identity and Population.
