Chairman, Senate Committee
on Senate Services, Senator Ibrahim Gobir, who spoke to journalists yesterday
said the upper chamber never spent over N4 billion to purchase 108 cars for
lawmakers, adding that only 36 SUVs were bought at the cost of N36.5 million
each.
The Senate in Abuja
yesterday revealed that senators unanimously rejected the proposed loan to buy
their vehicles, adding that none of the 108 lawmakers wanted any part in it.
He said:
“We had a close session and
they agreed that we should give one car per state; we sat down and agreed on
who among the three senators from each state needs the car most and that was
what happened.”
