Senator Ben Murray-Bruce representing Bayelsa East constituency, may be on a collision course with some of his colleagues after he advised that all public office holders except the president use their personal cars to serve the citizens.

Murray-Bruce who was tweeting with #BudgetCommonsense noted that how does Nigeria look when it borrows from the United Kingdom to fund the 2016 budget yet its expenses is more than that of the UK.

Read all Murray-Bruce’s tweet:
Are Nigerians aware the British PM only gets an annual grant of £30,000 for upkeep of his official living quarters? ‪#‎BudgetCommonsense‬

How does Nigeria looks when we seek to borrow from UK to fund 2016 budget yet our expenses are higher than theirs? #BudgetCommonsense

I said except the President, we should all use personal cars because we look like fools if we spend more than our creditors #BudgetCommonsense

If the 2016 budget is passed as is, we will borrow ₦5 Billion daily. It will be irresponsible to spend debt on luxuries #BudgetCommonsense

Isn’t it embarrassing to fly a Presidential jet to a country we want to borrow from and whose own leaders have none? #BudgetCommonsense

I practice what I preach. In chambers and publicly, I call for reduction in pay. I share my allowance with my Constituents #BudgetCommonsense

My name is Ben Murray-Bruce and I just want to make Commonsense!

It would be recalled that the national assembly was criticized by former Nigerian president, Olusegun Obasanjo for budgeting the sum of N4.7bn ($23.9 million) to purchase exotic cars for individual lawmakers.

Always making noise to the media and tweeting,please say something during plemenary...stop playing to the gallery....obamanikoro!!!!

Talk talk senator. Senator for the talkatives.

That's how it should be but the senators will still have their way.

Fooling Nigerians since......

June 12 1993 or may 29 1999

This is when Ben Bruce start talking like Obama, "Big convoys don't make big men. big ideas do".

Why must he always tweet to express him self he should raised the topic on the floor of the house if he so mean it. Practice what you preach and see orders follow .

Only Senator in Naija.

He cannot move a motion on the floor of the senate if he hasn't been called to, hence, the senate president boycotts him when indicating ppl who would speak on a subject matter, so it's not his fault to tweet these afterall all he has been saying is written in the book of Jeremaih

This administration will be just like others if all APC senators don't subscribe to this,it means the CHANGE mantra is just an hoax.

The funniest thing is this man always have his head resting on his palm during sittings after wasting all his energy shouting on Twitter. The guy wise, he no want Hin fellow senators to hold am so e dey rant on Twitter cuz those ones no sabi use am. So funny Nigerian senators are being told to attend a program just to teach them how to use Facebook!!!! *Mo Foh ooo*

He should raise that up in the Senate and let Nigerians see the reactions of his fellow lawmakers.

Senator of the twitter constituency.

True!!! Nigerians abuse a lot of privileges. Why will a senator have a 10 car convoy??

Yeah... Here comes the clown again!

But u didn't return the official car nor reject the loan. How abt the wardrobe allowance, you collected it too?

On Twitter again?

I THINK THIS MAN IS MAKING SENSE. IF OUR SO CALLED LEADER REALLY WANT TO SERVE US. THEY SHOULD BE READY TO MAKE SACRIFICE. THE CHANGE WE DESIRE CAN NOT COME IF WE KEEP BORROWING ON IRRELIVANT THINGS

I wish they'll listen

Ben Bruce is a new President in the Making. Nigerians are following him.

This doesn't make sense as far as I'm concerned, let this man say this on the floor of the Senate rather than ranting on Twitter.
And he should not give us the story that he's giving his money to his constituents, what we want is a drastic reduction in their pay, he should champion this if he wants Nigerians to take him serious, he should stop playing on our intelligence
