SERAP Asks Court To Stop NASS From Spending N110bn On Cars, Others

SERAP also averred that unless the reliefs sought were granted, the lawmakers would spend the N110bn and the travesty, and apparent conflicts of interest and self-dealing by members of the National Assembly would continue.

It also claimed that N40 billion was also allocated to buy 465 SUV and bulletproof cars for members and principal officials. “It is also a grave violation of the public trust and constitutional oath of office for members of the National Assembly to unjustifiably increase their budget at a time when over 137 million poor Nigerians are living in extreme poverty exacerbated by the removal of fuel subsidy.

“The planned purchase differs from the official bulletproof vehicles expected to be purchased for the four presiding officers of the National Assembly. The organization pointed out that Section 14 of the Nigerian Constitution of 1999 [as amended] provides that the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government.
