Oby Ezekwsili reacts to the House of Representatives buying
exotic cars for its 360 members at a period the country’s economy is in
recession. According to the reports, they insisted that lawmakers must have a
means of mobility while carrying out oversight duties over Ministries,
Departments and Agencies of the Federal Government.
According to them, N3.6bn will be spent across 24 months to
complete payment for the luxury vehicles supplied by the Kaduna-based
Peugeot Automobile Nigeria Limited. A total of 360 units of the exotic
automobile would have been delivered by January 2017.
Ezekwesili expressed shock that Nigerian lawmakers in a
country facing recession could spend such whooping amount of money to purchase
cars.
"Mark my word, @nassnigeria @HouseNGR and @NGRSenate. One
day...&very soon..the Citizens will seek a ride in those your fancy cars
too.
"Ask your aides to google what your contemporaries in other
countries facing Recession are doing, @nassnigeria @HouseNGR & @NGRSenate. Deputy
Chair of Media @HouseNGR said "recession would not stop lawmakers from
performing their legislative duties." So they bought cars," she said on Twitter.
