₦5.5b Budget To Buy Cars For Senate Officers Will Equip NPF With 36 Helicopters by Automotive1(op): 4:30pm On Sep 14, 2019

Did you know that the ₦5.5 billion Senate budget for the purchase of brand new luxury cars for its principal officers will equip the Nigerian Police Force with 36 Robinson R-44 Raven II helicopters, at ₦153.6 million ( $425,000) each?

Yes 36! And that means each state can get one each to fight the current spate of insecurity, kidnapping, insurgency, banditry, and other forms of crimes, that is currently crippling the country.

And to even solve the problems of unavailability of cars to go to crimes scenes, the ₦5.5 billion can also equip the NPF with 197 Innoson IVM G80 SUV that starts at ₦27,825,000 or 595 Carrier 4×2 that cost ₦9,400,000.

Despite the lawsuit filed by the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), BudgIT, Enough is Enough (EiE) and 6,721 concerned Nigerians, seeking to stop the release of the funds, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Adedayo Adeyeye, said their efforts is bound to fail.

He told reporters in Abuja that :

“It (suit) is an exercise in futility, a complete exercise in futility"

“Directors of agencies, even minor officials in agencies use official cars. So why will the National Assembly be different? Why should it be a problem that the National Assembly is entitled to cars, to use official cars?

“Some of the vehicles they bought four years ago were no longer serviceable while others have probably been sold to their users,”
The civil society group’s spokesman, Kola Oludare, while speaking with CNN, said:

“They can have official cars but why would they spend such an amount buying cars for 109 Senators when more than half of Nigerians are living in abject poverty”
A 2013 study by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) revealed that Nigerian lawmakers pocket the highest salaries in the world.

What Do You Think?

Those senators are just another set of crooks in Agbada and Suit, they claim their sitting is always based on the interest of the people meanwhile they want a whopping 5.5 billi for official cars, I don’t know if we are still practicing democracy again because this is clearly Crazy-demo!
Not one of those scoundrels cares about the masses!
At the end of the tenure they want a rerun after performing woefully in their previous tenure and the gullible people still votes for them after making empty promises, I once saw a senator launch a bridge made with planks and Bamboo and the dimwit still shamelessly posted his dumb project on SM like he did something outstanding and some dingbats were still hailing and applauding him!!
We shall overcome embarassed

These law makers are trying to make their principal officers happy so that they don't snitch to the media about their irregularities and corruption.

Even if the money is used to equip the NPF, they would only see it as opportunity to victimise civilian the more.

Robinson R-44 Raven II helicopters for security in a nation like Nigeria is not feasible.


And can we all stop this fuckery of crying against these cars for NASS members.
Everyone of you will gladly receive official car from your companies if you are entitled to it. Will you say No MD. Ask HR to use the money and give the cleaner and security man bonus?
