We Bought Only 36 Cars, Not 108 — Nigerian Senators by Nobody: 6:53am On Apr 20, 2016
THE Senate disclosed, yesterday, that senators unanimously rejected the proposed loan to purchase their vehicles, saying none of the 109 lawmakers was interested in it.

Speaking with journalists in Abuja yesterday, Chairman, Senate Committee on Senate Services, Senator Ibrahim Gobir, said the upper chamber never spent over N4 billion to purchase 108 cars for lawmakers.

According to him, only 36 SUVs were bought at the cost of N36.5 million each.

He said: “We had a close session and they agreed that we should give one car per state; we sat down and agreed on who among the three senators from each state needs the car most and that was what happened.”

Gobir, who wondered why Nigerians would kick against the purchase of new exotic cars, said as senators they were entitled to official cars.

So you are depicting that approximately N1,296,000,00 was disbursed to you to purchase 36 SUV vehicles at the cost of N36.5 each for personal gratification?

This Government is busying incurring unsolicited arrears on the nation.

Nigeria should simulate the efforts of Senegal to dissolve the Senate if we are to make optimum utilization of our pecuniary resources.

A petition should be written for the withdrawal of these senators. They are just like trees that bear no fruit and without economic value.

Last time I checked, the official car used by ministers and senators was Peugeot 504. So what's with SUVs that are only effective for long distance travel?

Since this is not something about one particular political party, you'll not see Nigerian youths come out to condemn this act of gross financial recklessness by our so called legislators. If it was about PDP or APC you'll see them come here to attack and slander each other. It's high time you guys realize that these sets of people don't care about you and can actually conive to loot your very own resources while you are here ranting on their behalf. angry angry
