The Leader of the Senate, Yahaya Abdullahi, stated this in an interview with journalists in his office in Abuja.
He said each of the 109 senators in the upper chamber would get one SUV, which would be paid for at the end of their four-year legislative tenure. The Senate Leader said, “What is the problem there? It is an insult to say that a senator of the Federal Republic cannot ride a jeep in Nigeria. It is an insult. The N5.5bn is from the National Assembly fund and it is budgeted for every year, which they will pay back at the end of the tenure.
“Go and tell the people that the work that we do is more than the work of ministers. The weight that is on me today; there is no minister of the Federal Republic that has it.”
Too bad for a country like ours
Insult : it is our money...why insult? No to 5.5bn SUVs for Senators.
In a country where majority of people don't have roof over their heads or food to eat,,you are talking of 5.5bn SUVs. It's really a misplaced priority and an insult to the masses.
I think there is need to mental examination
This statement from the Senate is a gross insult in itself to the entire populace.
What's insulting in this? Why should NASS customize purchasing new vehicles at every inauguration of its inception without course for Nigeria Economy and problems?
Bunches of thief who doesn't have their representatives at hearts. Is that pur immediate needs in Nigeria now? Must you purchase a new cars in every assembly?
Seriously i really blame we voters, because we are the same people that voted and campagned for these greedy politicians. The only place i know true voting is been exhibited is in Big Brother Naija show,How can a sincere government charge a citizen's had earned money on deposits
You also need salary increment sir and when you die make sure you take it all to HELL. Set of greedy goat 🐐
Let them reduce their expensive lifestyle not only the sanators, but all the arms of government. We the masses are tired of this big gap between the politicians and the electorates
Pls what is Mr common sense saying about this issue.
Kai diz people we nt kill us 🧐🧐🧐 revolutionisnow
We will pay you salary and can you car. Corruptioninsenate
That is an undemocratic comment!
Lol...I never know they're really carrying peoples burden...and yet poverty capital, so, he can defend SUVs for senators...smtchewwe
After reading this interview, I feel really sorry for us as a nation. Some of these senators feel too entitled, which is absolutely wrong
The look on your big head DrAhmadLawan is also an insult to Nigerians. You're in office to serve and not to enrich yourself with tax payer money.. Nonsense
I don't know why people are complaining about this issue, after every four years this is always done so what's the big deal.
Nigerian politicians are known to serve their pockets and oppress her people.
Are you there to live like yahoo boys or to serve? This shows you don't have our 9ja at heart. Same people complain 9ja is broke want new SUVs.
APC...Next level of destruction and tyrany! They used this particular one to hunt the previous administration while still in office. Where is Tinubu or have the whole APC forgotten their lies during 2015?
And these are the so called leaders we trusted this nation's wealth with?
This is tax payers money. A country where youths were not employed.
Nowhere in the world are their lawmakers as wicked as these men and women. Yet they cant pay workers 30,000 naira.
If they feel the load is too much to carry without riding an SUV let them resign including Abdullahi himself.
Nigerian economy is declining yet 109senators will have to spend N5.5bn each for SUVs in a fiscal year. To deliberate on bills now turn senators into political moguls. May God save our blessed and enriched Nigeria from people that don't care for the masses
There was a country.
And you're now trying to double the insults
Let's keep borrowing money from CHINA and WorldBank, while the clueless lawmakers, Executhiefs and the Judi-sharing are busy enriching themselves with luxury of cars and mansions all over the world with their children in the best schools abroad. 2023,we will still vote them.Woe
They're bunch of idiots so the cry of the public wouldn't matter. Don't worry we'll buy it off them when they are broke after recontesting.
Won ni se orire...
Well,we'll do well to also cry out against the outrageous expenditures of the president & his ministers who enjoy much more than the NASS.
Useless government
If you are doing everything right, you won't need and SUV that is bullet proof
Senators should use their money to buy SUV if they want to drive one, they can go as far as buying ships and aircraft as long as the money is from their pockets. Federal government funds should not be used to buy SUV. money for SUV should be used for health schools Infrastructure
unfortunately you will pity there condition 4 years after loosing the seat. when they can't maintain the lifestyle they adopted.
That SUVs wey ona want to buy, na accidentdent all of you go take do. Except, there are no poor and hungry Nigerians.
yahaya_abdulahi is misunderstanding the issue. Yes you can have SUV. However, the 8th Senators need to trade in their vehicles to procure new pre-selected vehicles. Stop the waste. The vehicles belong to the people. It's on borrow to Senators. Stop that BIG MAN SYNDROME.
whendoweprotest?
The same senators that can compelling the President to pay D30,000 minimum wages
When you where begging for vote its not an insult abi...now its an insult for the public to say how you want to spend their money is an insult...thunder fire all of una....mtchwwwww
NIGERIANS ARE SCARECROWS!!
REVOLUTION NOW MEMBERS HAVE BEEN PROTESTING... WHERE IS YOUR REPRESENTATION? HERE YOU ARE WAILING!
Stop wailing and ACT
Des one mad ooo
Mumu.. an insult. Go and buy the cars with your money and let is the citizen be insulted with the 5.5bn alone. Which kind leaders una they put for power for Christ sake. How did I find myself in this country Lord?😭😭😭
Let them buy it first We will show them how it is done, who insult who.
I agree. I was expecting you guys to have requested for N27.5bn SUVs.
I am refusing to read the article, because i want to hope against hope that he meant, buying the SUVs is an insult on Nigerians not the other way round
😂😂😂😂😂
NGRSenate needs to be scrapped for Nigeria to grow as a nation. If this is done, 60% of Nigeria's problem is solved.
Our leader better not push the masses to revolution. I don’t think any of the rich will survive if it ever happens. There’s a limit to tolerance and we are getting there
I cant wait for the day the people will finally rise up against these rogues.
Did you hear him
No good roads No water Education system zero No good hospital No light(electricity) You still get mind wan use that kind plenty money buy motor is this man alright, Nigeria wetin happen to us 9ja
They can’t even approve minimum wages of 30k to common civil servant, but some one will be paid 30m per month, Nigeria which way nah greedy government
Welcome to the real hunger games.
Why is everyone attacking senators. What of MBuhari, do you know his Feeding fee for a year?
The kind of things that happen in this country eh. Does this happen in develop democracies? That Law makers are welcomed with brand new SUV's? A poor man sometimes is not the man in lack. Greediness & primeval capital accumulation is an undiluted sign of poverty.
E nor go better for Lugard and Him girlfriend
This guy dey craz for compearing him self to a minister, what do Nigerian senators do? More or less noting. Most of them spend decade in the house without even sponsoring a bill. The idiots salary ma is more than that of the president.
This is the kind of Senate president they want, I guess? I operate heaven's economy, so, whatever this good for nothing govt wants to do gud luck to dem. It won't affect me and my household.
May God deliver us from this rulers
This part of the story irks me most. All i see here is ridiculous entitlement (talmbout ministers getting more than us) and abject mediocrity and idiocracy. Since when has SUV become the right tool to function well in an office? Please someone tell me! Abi SUV don turn office?
Politicians only talk like this when they are certain you didn't put them in office by the ballot and cannot remove them by same. Sad erafor Nigeria.
Insult because your cluelessness as purported leaders have been exposed. It's only heartless leaders that can ignore such. All of you in the Senate do not have the interest of the common man at heart - that is what the outcry is telling you.
Pathetic!
It is more of an insult that an average Nigerian worker cannot afford half bag of rice to feed his family and their senators wants to ride a 5.5b naira jeep. This is the true meaning of an insult.
I wonder who's insulting who
In a sane country, this man will be recalled the day after that interview but this is 9ja. Nigerians deserve their leaders. They're no different. According to someone, 'The average Nigerian is an oppressor'.
Nigerian senators are bunch of disgrace to Nigeria. How many citizens have Toyota Camry not to talk of SUV. There are many abandoned project in their constituencies they did not see those ones. It is SUV that matters to them
From what you've said clearly shows you aren't fit to be a senator period
Heartless and unpatriotic
Buy jeeps that can be assembled in Nigeria or made in Nigeria abeg. Focus on the matter and leave ministers out of it.
Hmmmm ole ole we,all knw u gona purchase them
I don't think we really or they really understand where they are going.
Did you just say that?
Your defiant on SUVs is an insult to Nigerians.. we elected you, you didn't elect us
Our leaders don't understand the meaning scale of preference and foregone alternative. . Ends and scarce means .... it's painful
If we the youth can use that same spirit we use to fight against the south Africans and protests against this bill,this looters study our moves just like the game of chess. It is hight time we fight against this looters.
People's voice matters!!!
The Senate Leader said this 'He said the burden on the shoulders of the senator was not a mean task and that an SUV for their work was not too much.' I don't know whether to laugh to get angry with that statement 🤕🤕🤕
Nigeria should go back to Parliamentary system of government. This presidential system is not fit for country like Nigeria.
I don't blame him. They'll pay for the car at the end their tenure. Storytelling, they'll pay N100k at the end of their tenure and go home with a jeep worth over N15m
Imagine! This man said the burden on them no ministry can deal with it, upto local government level Nigerian senator is responsible for the development ought to happen there. This Akuya should be reminded dt many of them do not go back home for once in 4yrs. Kai what a pity.
Pekele pekele ..arugbo je gbese
This senate is obviously gonna be d worst in d history of nigerian!
Let them be ..... Since it's for everyone (Lower Chamber / Upper) no biggie In this for GOd sake. You are free to blame them on the other side bcos Late Admiral Badeh was Killed in non bullet proof SUV so let this ppl live a saver lives
Oh my!
I am laughing at those who derided and insulted the Saraki-led Senate 8th NASS as they supported this one This Lawan/APC-led NASS will be worse as the masses gnash their teeth further. Every anti-people policy promulgated by the Executive will be passed with the speed of light.
Shidren of bottomless hypocrisy that hounded Saraki for less are shamelessly quiet.
These set of selfish people can't change. Shame on them.
NGRSenate SPNigeria an insult to who? You or Nigerians? You lot should be ashamed of yourselves. It's now a known fact that the 3 arms of government in this senseless kleptocracy is evil, garnished with chronic wickedness.
This country is a joke,where the rate of poverty is higher than the total population of the country
Were re oooooo
The thunder that will fire all of you is doing press up for my backyard...I dont blame you people at all,it's Nigerians and me that I blame...after voting you idiots to the Senate...chai!...who curse us!
So the senate of 2003 and that of 2019 have different work abi? Why is it that their budget is skyrocketing?
The NASS should get the HONG KONG treatment.
until we citizens take action to force they. Let each constituency of each open a protest register and let begin to sign. By the time they see the volume of protest signature. They will begin to know. We can not continue our talk show with them
😭😭😭😭
His crystal clear now that but APC and PDP don't have the interest of the masses but so concern on how loot our Commonwealth dry, what is the different between 9th Senate and this present one. Welcome on board those that critics bukolasaraki led Senate u now av what u want.
Eschews me Sir! Who is insulting who? Public insulting you questions for lavishing their money for your self aggrandizement? Then you are Public Master and not Public Servants! Why then stressing us with different economic policies? When sacrifice is a taboos for NASS members!
Even though, the N5.5bn was budgeted for, it's still on the high side, considering the state of the nation's economy, poor roads, schools and hospitals. Counterparts in Ghana drove Suzuki Samurai and still gets things done. We need fiscal sanity, please.
It will not be well with Yahaya Abdullahi for saying it’s an insult for Nigerians to Protest against 5.5Bn for SUV cars. Poor Nigerians will suffer to pay tax one stupid Senator want to use it to buy car in fact e no go better for Nigerian Bad Politicians and their families.
Imagine talk, wherever it emanated from. Shame on this personal Assistant to d executive in d guise of SP
Smh!!! This is rily sad. C d fools our foolish people kill themselves for every 4years. What kind of animals r these people in govt Is it the black skin that’s our problem or what cos I rily don’t understand...
Isn't is an insult? Mr. Lawan Farouk, just take a tour round ur senatorial district to see how many haven't eaten since the inception of today yet you deem spending of 5.5bn on SUV is the best! God is watching y'all fake leaders! 😫😭
Na God go punish all of una
An insult indeed. So also is your individual remuneration which is highest in d world, in a country dat has been branded worlds capital of extreme poverty
Selfishness! Suv that you can get yourself from your fat belly.
How much is Nigeria Budget that some group of persons have decided to take 5.5BN to buy cars for their personal interest. Oh Nija my country you must get sense by force.
nonsensical senator!
SERAPNigeria And 30000 minimum wage is on the higher side for Nigerian workers
The only solution now is mass protest nationwide . Pls retweet 'mass protest'
Why the public outcry on this 5.5bn SUVs, the money to purchase this vehicles was made from their annual budget
They should scrap the house of senate.....
Weed at work
There theifie theifie our resources and buy big big jeep 😡😡
When you or any of your learned colleague is being kidnapped, you'll be crying and begging for God to help you guys. Enjoy your bullet proof SUV's and wait for God's judgment in hell🔥🔥🔥
I accept. Public have long accepted their role to be docile and pay any levy, tax, duty imposed on them. So I don't see why 5.5b suv is a big deal to them
'As flies are to Wanton boys, so we are to the gods. They play us for sports.'
D impetus....
We are living in a country where the found meant for the betterment of the nation is used by individual or a particular set of people to better themselves and their households. Shit.
We are in for it. But it never started today. I remember before the election I told people to take this NASS election more important than any other. I weep for us.
With the Present state of the nation,is SUV our immediate problem?.......isn’t this a glaring sign of incapacity?
Untill we change our perception of taking what you can from government rather than what we can give Nigeria cannot make progress. Ask yourself what is the ratio of recurrent expenditure over capital?
It has always being about themselves. Not that they need our consent to buy though🙄
I haven't heard about this volume of money used by advanced democracies in the world for purchasing cars for Parliament members. The should have vehicles if their lives depends on it but NOT TO THIS VOLUME.ITS TOTALLY NOT ACCEPTABLE.
How? That we don't have right to question you? Is it cars you people can't buy with your outrageous emoluments?
Insult or what ? You guys need come off your high horse and face the economic reality. Those members that returned what happened to the cars they used before? A time will come Nigerians will match in with canes and get their own hardship allowance right on spot yeyenatu
The quality of senators and legislators in Nigeria, an insult.
This man deserves ekweremadus treatment so that he'll grow sense... Stealing and justifying it when to even pay minimum wages is a problem. It's not ur fault, Nigerians r docile.
iykimo Sweet memories to those time we put pressure on NASS because we don't like saraki. Now they can do whatever they like.
Dumbos
Until the average Nigerian knows the meaning of your vote is your power, Nigeria will remain messed. Until when we all decide not to partake in elections by boycotting all elections at every level, until then will these useless politicians take us serious
When they come back in 2023 you guys will vote them back. Can someone just disintegrate this unholy wedlock into six parts.
Ole thief
I know very well that God is still alive.
Won si were ni. Who was insulting who? Why are we like this in Nigeria? The political class is the most insincere. Awon olosa.
We have corrupt executives, We have corrupt legislatives. We have corrupt judiciary They finally institutionalized corruption No hope Nigerians.
Not one is saying each senator don't deserve an SUV but with the country economic status it is wickedness
TheShehus I weep for this Nation😭😭
Why won't He say so, when it's too easy for them to raise Tax and it's taking them almost a decade for them to add little change on the salaries of poor civil servants. Let The common Man let God judge you All. Bloody Greedy politicians....
Until Nigeria politics is no more a means to gain access to cookie jars and free money through accountability and transparency, we'll never know those that truly want to serve this country. N5.5bn for SUV in a world capital of the poverty is a mockery on the citizens.
Very unfortunate. They thought they had Representatives....
When we vote wrongly, we get stupid leadership...
You are stark raving mad!!! What you the Senate president just said is an insult on Nigerians!!!
una no dey bring the change again?
Ori awon eleyi ti gbale sha, after robbing Nigerians with your insane pay package, you can begin strike now, let’s try “no work no pay”.
These are our demands which will benefit everyone but most people focus on the word revolution. The government know we will never unite to fight one course. When we fight ourselves the oppressors get more excited. TIBmovement
Majority of these pple are there to say yay and nay. And sleep majority of the time It's not there fault. As people of the diff constituency we don't Hold them accountable for their actions. We just hail them after buying okada for small children to ride as part of empowerment
Nothing Paul Pogba no go see for Old Trafford.
What happened to the ones that, they are currently using?
They are apparently the Nigeria (the Actors), while we the citizens are just look-look ( Audience)
Both you the Senate and ministers are just bunch of criminals
Because we haven't invaded the NASS and land una slap abi?
These people are simply mad. Very mad people. What has Nigerians done to deserve these foolish people sef?
Talk about putting your foot in it!
I don't think this people have brain at all. Is that what we send them there for? Our schools are there and no house for the poor masses and they don't see it as problems.
This senate is a fraud... Big time fraud
nassnigeria filled with greedy, selfish, self serving folks. You preached next levels, where is it? Is it next level to spend over 5 billion for SUVs in an economy that isn't buoyant? Is it next level to burden the citizens with higher taxes while enjoy the benefits? Repent pls
Why not NGRSenate use their own individual money and purchase cars for themselves.
What did u expect from Association of Past Criminals Aka APC
These people are heartless. They keep ganging up against citizens while we the citizens butcher each other for them. They conditioned us all via religion and ethnicity to hate one another. Hence, merriment is all they know. Nigerians must have sense by force.
Evil people
They want to use 5.5billion to get cars for them while they future is suffering...this is place in Nigeria
We only rant on Twitter, none of us are ready to make a stand against these people and make Nigeria better. They will keep on doing whatever they like until we stop them, until then Happystruggling
I can't believe this!
SERAPNigeria On the proposed SUVs Purchase by the Nigerian Senate, visit My rights to swing my arms in any direction, ends where your nose begins.
Comparison is odious. You are ELECTED Representatives not career civil servants. You are to make laws and be fair to all. Citizens are crushed by Poverty and you are talking of SUVs. No electricity, no water, etc Shame on you looters!
It’s truly an insult to the senate, let them be please they are spending from their allocated budget joor
Nigeria 🇳🇬 and Nigerians, here’s your senate president defending their looting 😂🤣
They are all criminals..
So SUV over hunger is better.
They have this attitude because they know Nigerians will complain and do nothing. They know the uproar will soon die down and it will be business as usual. Shouldn’t labour unions be at the forefront of fighting this? Nigeria better off under colonial rule
Selfish people this senate
Minimum wage they can't pay! CBN has put charges on deposit and withdrawal Increase in VAT. Poor masses will continue to suffer.
Even if they didn't buy the SUV are they going to share the money to the poor masses , my country Nigeria has always been like that ,either we like it or not the Senate will go ahead to get the SUV...Nothing anybody can do about it.
It is even more insulting that those we voted into power to represent us are spending our money in an outrageous manner. Why buy such expensive cars?
How can you not fund minimum wage of 30k yet have the moral justification for such outrageous frivolity on a bunch of clueless clowns who think getting fat on our national wealth is their birth right?
We have insulted our NGRSenate for asking them to do the needful. N5.5b is small for all of you. NGRSenate You can make it N5b for each. Keep pushing the poor, remember they have nothing to lose..
You people forgetting that ok one day all this luxury things will end up with 6fit. You people will continue to enrich yourself and suppress the poor. God is watching you.
😢
What really is wrong with this people ,cant they for once think n actually give a damn ?🤨😓😔
The truth is that, if you buy from another car company abroad you are helping to build that country's economy with the hard earned money of the Nigerian tax payers. Let the Nigerian senate lead by example.
But when this same public was campaigned to for vote and they did it wasn't an insult, what a disgrace statement. God Almighty will soon judge all of yr actions. We are passing through hard time while luxury is yr own concern. Nonsense
Why wouldn't the Nigerian senate spend such humongous amount of money on buying from innoson motors? After all this government mantra is about growing the Nigerian local economy.
Any Buhari supporter here like they are lost
SERAPNigeria It's an insult that after working as permanent sec..you cannot afford a car to take you to work? You dont have car before you were selected...dino has 22 cars he cannot drive one of them to worksuch a disgrace
NGRSenate more of an insult to you that u cannot use your salary to buy SUVs rather than milk the common man struggling to survive... Minimum wage issue has been lingering and no solution but overnight u can make laws of paying for cash deposits..smh
Your employers say don't use their insufficient money to buy exotic cars, you say it is an insult! Leave the job and go home. Let those who won't use our money to buy what we can't afford come to serve us. Same goes to the executive arm!
Lemao, they should fix up our roads and get the rails operating optimally. Whole lot of coldhearted aged thieves🙄
Well, there's no doubt that we are very determined, as a people, to make this country called Nigeria, a 'gangster arena'. It's so insensitive of this class of individuals chosen to represent the people, to build the ailing economy, to have insisted on this economic waste. Sad!
With this narrative coming out from our red chamber, goes to show that, we are no longer running a Democracy. What a shame!
I ll tell you what is an insult to Nigerians - that anomaly you call a 1999 constitution that no Nigerian voted on and for!!! Where the hell did they get that document from How can nigerians be governed by laws they didn’t ratify or choose Thats an insult!!!
Who did we OFFEND IN NIGERIA! How did we wind up with this? ? ?
I know one day monkey will go market and will not come back
All hail the zoo!!!
Hahahaha..... It's indeed an insult. Go ahead and do what you want nothing will happen as usual. We are only good at fighting online. Such a Pathetic zoo.
The youths of this country are not ready.
realadamrockie look at this bloody clowns....clowning in ridiculous bufoonery!!! 🤡🤡🤡🤬
NGRSenate It is not an insult. The Senate insensitive. A senator who spends millions on campaign, vote buying and bribing, can afford a personal SUV. The SUVs are not planned for purchased in Nigeria from local manufacturers.
So of all the issues burdening the country these deluded fellows are more interested in acquiring luxury SUVs. These are people that should be volunteering to cut their salaries by half and passing laws to reduce the expense of govt if they truly love this country.
I call and support a military rule.
Look at what dis man is saying wasting our moni for something they already have God will surely reward u
Insult upon injury to the poor, helpless, deprived, malnourished and marginalised Nigerians who cannot feed nor afford a decent living! Yet, these elected representatives wants to squander a whooping N5.5bn on SUVs!
MBuhari officialEFCC ICPC_PE I hope you can see this and tell us how you guys are fighting corruption? If this old fools can't think of Nigeria as their company, I believe no one can waste his company resources like this... MBuhari pls do something! 🔥 It's embarrassing
An insult to whom? Do you mean to tell your masters that you are too big to be accountable? But can call for others to give account to you? Be informed that you are employed by and SERVE at the discretion of Nigerians, who you seem to despise.
and you have the conscience to spend 5.5bn on SUV? And you want to die well? Kontiniu.
LMAO 😁. Our country is a joke
I can't believe this, lol
If we don't start to be beating all these so called senators, they will ride us all to hell
Koni dafun yin
Let him come out to the public and address the mob that's all. If him get liver.
Hmn! I think someone need to tell our senators that they need to draw the line between irresponsibility and carrying some much responsibility.
SERAPNigeria Until you all will be burnt right inside that SUV...
Una no get shame all
Only in Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
'an insult' for questioning elected officials. I think the reason why Seun resigned is clear to us now...just try and connect the dots. I might be wrong though
The richest countries in the world can NOT do that with public fund. Only in the most corrupt country like Nigeria such thing will happen. Take a look at the salaries of law makers in UK/US compare with Nigeria law makers salaries is just madness going on in Nigeria.
Thunder fire all of una
Boko Haram sponsors and master has spoken. They can do and undo. They think the money they are spending is their fathers money. Idiota.
The very huge salary u guys get every month is enough to buy SUV if u really want it...
zizzlyfrizzly Lol. Next level. Nigerians will get sense.
Let us all join hands together to run the country to ground....it's high time Nigeria ceases to exist!!! Rubbish...
One said his salary is an insult
Lord Lugard n the queen of England...are to blame...we were not ready 4 independence...dey should shouldnt av left...Seriously...atleast not wen dey did...dey shud av stayed maybe 4 anoda 30yrs...pple wey get more dan 50 cars already...dem even get d SUV sef..na d money dem need
Insult for who? If I may ask
Up til now, they're yet to purchase those vehicles but are cruising around towns in cars. So what happens to their Numerous Exotic cars in their garages that necessitates their interest in buying new SUVs ?
So what do you do?
It’s ok as long as they must patronize our own brand of vehicle innoson, promote made in Nigeria, practice and what you preach . innosonvehicles
Very callous,insensitive and pedestrian statement by the Senate. It behoves on us,the citizens to address this anomaly but the outrage will last for one week and we move on to the next.
When are we occupying NASS?
Does that mean that the likes of Ekweremadu and James Manager gets new SUV every time they were re-elected? Nigeria is indeed a wonderful country
You and all your co-travelers are fools. Cars should be the least of your worries cos all of you already have cars worth hundreds of millions and all you can think of is acquiring more cars and since the head is rotten what happens to the rest of the fish? Rotten selfish elements
It is your reaction that is an insult! Na your money? Eh?
Shey head is not paining this one bayii, what have yall done for us to deserve such expensive cars?
Mr president, what do you mean, are you not representing us, you should listen to us..and stop all this attitude bcos time will soon tell.
Nigeria 🇳🇬 have expired..........
This is an infantile response! Must you status be greater than the people that elected you to be there. You were talking about the minister s running costs- if you people are responsible you ought to be checking the excesses of the executive.
yes it is an insult to the senate, Do you guys have an idea how much dept Nigeria has insured on itself and still counting and you have the guts to say you need New SUVs, bunch of clueless and selfish minded people.
You said that the outcry is an insult? Oya wait! Thunder fire you! If you buy that motor make e be the end for you. Which one is an insult now?
This message is from the nigerian senate distinguish members of federal republic. 🔔🔔🔔 (AN INSULT) very loud and clear. See gobe*
SERAPNigeria Ema se opolopo eribuuuuu
Why must they get SUVs with the current state of the economy? Don't they have fleet of cars already? The government cannot fund minimum wage of 30k but can spend billions on vehicles for these useless and greedy senator's.
We are at the point where they don't have to be smart about anything again. 😂😂 By force sense.
NGRSenate The Federal Government CANNOT 1. Fund the new minimum wage, 2. Paying intrest on loans And you think its time to be spending N5.5bn on SUV mind you its public funds not personal funds. This funds are meant to better Nigeria.
Mad people
See, that begged for votes now call public outcry as an insult.. Rubber Stamp SP
An insult? May God forgive them.
Definitely an insult on the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The senates are entitled to it to carry out their duties and not to own them pls get it right and always respect them the same way you respect the judiciary and the executive arms of govt. Thank you.
what a bunch of undeserving leaders we have in Nigeria.
your counterpart in the UK ride bicycle.
It's more appalling when you read the story. I blame Lord Lugard. Nigeria does not deserve democracy. Military rule fits Nigerians better.
If you want to know what's wrong with politics, politicians and those who elect them in Nigeria then read this article. They think they're doing you all a favour.
SERAPNigeria Cost of governance and especially cost of running nassnigeria is a huge hole in NigeriaGov pocket! DrAhmadLawan Review plans to buy N5.5billion SUVs Now! Show good example! That it has been the case before doesn’t mean it should continue! Be Patriotic!
The only way to take back our country from these fraudsters in agbada is through a fearless MASS ACTION. These people are insane and mindless
The money is just too much..Let's stop them
You are spending our money anyhow and if we complain, you accuse us of insulting you.Can you imagine the arrogance of these lawmakers.
dondekojo akinalabi haven't seen your verdict on this
Are these people serious at all...are you there to but SUVs or to legislate even if you are rubbers Stamps...please stamp commonsensically...
You're a MAD man to feel insulted by Nigerians who expressed their feelings over the stupendously reckless amounts you earmarked for your cronies to buy SUVs. YOU don't know how terribly the PUBLIC are suffering financial hardship and unbridled poverty. IDIOTS!
And many thought that APC Sanators will cut the expenses
SERAPNigeria Oga senator, Seh you no get motor before abi nah leg you dey take waka before you became leader of the house...... Ogun is watching you
I just remembered we have Senate President in this country 😂😂.
Do us anyhow but just prepare to answer God if you die
You count that as an insult? Who suppose they ride bicycle go house of assembly if not you people
They know we are too divided to speak with one voice. I Stan for Hong Kong. They were persistent and got what they wanted.

Rubber stamp!
All senator are thiefs
let people know that this 9th assembly is d/f from 8th Assembly. Finally, long life Senate president of the 9th assembly
One Would think the APC led Senate Will Bring The Change Their Party Sings Everywhere
They can afford to insult us because they have studied us and know that we won't react. On a good day like someone said that senator ought to be recalled by his constituency. That's why they want to keep taxing Nigeria individuals and companies.
Efcc should arrest this idiot for spending our money wrongly..when will Nigeria politician will have sense of humor.
Even if it's so, the delivery of his response reeks of arrogance and self indulgence. They should be considering reducing their expenditures and benefits with the state of the nation. At least commiserating with the masses.
But you can change the corrupt system from the past especially in the area of Constituency Project budget paddling
Of course it’s an insult Shabi to them it’s thier birth right Abi🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
While y'all are still here I follow back immediately
I stopped complaining about Nigeria's problems because even the poor and hungry masses will abuse you and call you a wailer.. Let every man enjoy whatever they have..
Not an insult, those complaining are those whose money are via taxes being spent to do the N5.5b automobile shopping they have the right to do so wonder4ulworld
SERAPNigeria Una fada wella, you no go die well O. You this robber stamp DrAhmadLawan NGRSenate senator. Come buy car wey go kill your generation . Wicked people. Vat 2.5 percent increase, plus add tax on deposit n cash withdrawal. You are here talking nonsense.
Senate should be ashamed of her self
landlord travel and see
We will all learn ...last last we are going to learn cos we warn you guys that these people are scammers and thief but u choose to vote them well let all enjoy what they are bringing to us
Must a Master servant relationship continue forever in this democracy.
We must get sense by force... Increase tax for poor Nigerians. Stagnate minimum wage. Increase fuel pump price. Increase cost of banking. Close borders to prevent import. Increase cost of local products.
Imagine this guy sha...Wow when d country is sick, economy is bad, life is hard...This guys are not humans...What a shame!
So he actually believes that only an SUV would lighten their burden?
These so called senate are very stupid for using public funds for thier own selfish use. Is this what Nigerians had voted them for? stupid fellows
Coming from the same buffons I stood under the sun to vote for. 😩😩😭😭😭
Power talking. That's what matters to some.
May afflictions visit Nigeria senate. Minimum wage they could not approve for over 3 years now. What sort of country is this?
They'd rather overburden the citizens than cut down on luxury. What is their job again? If we hired a company to make our laws and the senators work as staff of the compqny, would they receive such outrageous benefits? And to think that most of them no nothing about law...😡
Hail the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Most expensive, zero KPIs, minimum utility value. If they scrap them today, they won’t be missed. Yet 5.5billion Naira on SUVs are an insult.
Now they charge us, on cash deposits to enrich themselves, while the public suffer.
😂😂 At this point I rest my case! All our noise don't move these imbeciles!
5.5bn Nigeria is chicken change compared to what previous Nass has spent on SUV so they don't have any right to complain. Finally Nigerians will be forced to get common sense.!!
SP please come I want to tell you something
Why is Nigeria such a fiduciary reckless country?
This is what I am saying . Oga leader ,u re not working for yourself or your family. The nigeria people put u there ,so we decide on what u need to do the work. Leadership is about service not lordship!
At least now we can fight some stupid and irrational decisions these men are trying to make
On the contrary, it is rather an insult on the public should you be allowed to spend the Nigerian people's money extravagantly.
' why should peasants be questioning their gods?' Lmao,
My advice to nassnigeria is to go get Toyota coastal buses it's more economical than buying this expensive SUV. Are they not seeing the way the country is going? ₦5.5 billion will seriously impact lives of Nigerian families.
Buhari should leave them to me.I will swallow them.
Where are the SUVs there predecessors used? Or they are already too old to be used by the new senators. What about the returning senators? Will they also get another SUV. What about the one they used last term? All these in the now 'poorest country in the world' God save Nigeria!
Senator Yahaya Abdullahi, No one said you guys aren't entitled to SUVs just not costly ones All that talk about patronizing made in Nig products doesn't apply to them who are supposed to be the shining examples of patriotism. Get the 8th Senate to return theirs and sell em!
😂😂😂😂 we no Dey hear word
Did you hear him
Gbese re o “in lilkeshofficial’s voice”
These dead selfish politicians have no capacity 2 understand that it is public money, not theirs that they want 2 spend and the public is not happy. They believe they r above listening to the public.
I guess civil servants should also get Car allowance differently from minimum wage if that's the case.
NGRSenate SPNigeria your response an insult to Nigerians. There is nothing wrong explaining to the people who own the money and voted you in. Anyone would common sense would explain to the masses that vehicles are normally depreciated over 4 years and thus have been written off
Smh
Baba buy 10 Range Rover, 10 Benz and 10 SUV just know you will never be satisfied. You all are corrupt. When you win again you get another one.
NGRSenate SPNigeria must be reminded, their duties is 2serve Nigerians n not 2use public funds for self-gratifying satisfaction.Think of it, where r those cars bought during d last session?Ain’t they government properties? They are only entitled to rails cards/ uber fares!
This is where PMB should act not tax.
Are you serious
Stories!!! You guys were elected to make laws not to spend extravagantly.
Really 🤣we must have sense by force 💃
gchild8701 Instead they should cut cost of government and develop the country they are increasing taxes on common citizens.these country is doom
NGRSenate See how detached these people are from reality and the plight of Nigerians. 20 years ago, these same senators would have been appalled by the proposed acquisition.
This is the more reason they should not get it. If u want it buy with ur money u guys get 13m monthly from there get it.
It's The Senate that is a disgrace to nigerians
