LEADERSHIP had earlier reported that the National Assembly bureaucracy was in the phased process of procuring and distributing operational vehicles to the 360 members of the House valued at N57.6bn, in the coming weeks and months.
It would be recalled that SERAP in August filed the suit number FHC/L/CS/1606/2023 before the Federal High Court challenging “the legality of the spending of billions of naira by the National Assembly to purchase exotic and bulletproof cars for members and principal officials.
In the letter dated October 21, 2023 and signed by SERAP deputy director, Kolawole Oluwadare, the organisation also urged the president to “put pressure on the leadership of the Senate and stop members from taking delivery of the planned procurement of bulletproof SUVs, pending the hearing and determination of the application for interim injunction filed before the Federal High Court.
