Despite serious cash crunch in Nigerian, the Senate led by Bukola Saraki is illegally buying N4.7billion exotic cars for the Senate President and other senators.
Funny enough, the Nigerian Senate is trying very hard to defend their action to spend another round of hard earned Billions to buy SUVs after same was bought about four years ago.
In a statement by its spokesperson, Aliyu Abdullahi, the Senate claimed that:
“The vehicles are not meant for individual Senators,” Mr. Abdullahi said. “They are purchased for the use of the committees.”
Senator Abdullahi could not explain the kind of committee work that demands each of our 109 senators to have individual cars. He also did not say what the Senate plans to do with the 11 cars that would be left after the 120 cars are distributed to Senators.
Committees of the National Assembly are known to travel for oversight duties in buses, and not in individual cars.
Sources say the purchase of the cars in the guise of buying it for committees is a ploy to circumvent the new monetisation policy of government which forbids the purchase of official cars for public officials.
Under the policy, no vehicles should be purchased by agencies of government for use by public officials.
Rather, public officers and political office holders are to receive 250% of their annual basic salary as motor vehicle loan, which translates to N5.07 million for each senator. Go get made in Nigeria cars.
According to Premium Times, the Senators got these loans before also proceeding to acquire these new Toyota Land Cruisers.
In fact, the cars in Saraki's convoy were supplied shortly before the end of the last legislative session in June. So, what will Saraki be needing a new set of car for again?
