No More Recession? House Of Reps Buys Exotic Cars Worth N3.6Billion




It seems those in government are just using recession to fool Nigerians as most of them are still living in the mood of business as usual and enjoying luxuries of all kinds.
The delivery of 360 brand new exotic cars to members of House of Reps has begun amid economic downturn in the country.
Investigations by Punch revealed on Sunday that 28 units of the Peugeot 508 series had already been delivered to lawmakers in Abuja.
The 28 were among the first batch of 50 cars supplied by the Kaduna-based Peugeot Automobile Nigeria Limited. The House allocated a princely N3.6bn for the cars in the 2016 budget.
A National Assembly top aide told Punch that the arrangement with Peugeot was that the company would supply the vehicles in batches because of the huge number of members involved.
“Fifty cars will be supplied in the first batch; 28 have already been delivered. That was last week. 22 more in the first batch are expected to be delivered this week,” the source stated.
Findings indicated that the luxury cars would arrive in Abuja in batches till January, 2017 when all 360 members would have picked a unit.
All 360 members of the House are collecting transport allowance from Nigeria.

But when I got to the palace, I saw youths numbering over 200 who started shouting as I entered. I suspected that they were mobilized by the monarch and I showed respect to him by prostrating. He threatened to drive out the Igbo from Akure and when I asked why, the youth descended on me. They tore my beads and removed my crown.”   Iloehike was installed in August 2011.
