Finally, Nigerian Senate Explains Why they are buying N4.7billion worth of Cars

Recently, popular online news portal Premium Times reveals that the Nigerian Senate plans to spend an estimated N4.7 billion on exotic cars for its President, Bukola Saraki, and 108 other members.

However, in a statement signed by Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi, Chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Publicity, the senate claimed that the vehicles are to be used for execution of committee assignments, noting that, they are not meant for individual senators.

“The vehicles are not meant for individual Senators. They are purchased for the use of the committees. For those who may want to find out what happened to the ones bought in the past, we cannot expect that after four years, the vehicles will still be in the condition to effectively serve the present committees”.
