The Senate on Wednesday flayed public outrage over plans by the National Assembly to purchase N5.5 billion worth of Sports Utility Vehicles for the 469 members in the bicameral federal legislature.
Abdullahi said the outcry over the cost of the vehicles were uncalled for, stressing that every member of the two chambers of the National Assembly deserved to have an official vehicle in the mode of a functional utility vehicle. “Go and tell the people that the work that we do, is more than the work of Ministers and as representatives of the people, the money we spend on daily basis on all forms of indigent people, far outweighs whatever they as Ministers or executive officers spend”.
You want something but Nigerians don't want it, you press on anyways. Nigerians want something but you are not ready to give, you send out Nigerian Army,police, DSS etc. Abeg who is representing who?
