The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Senate Services, Senator Ibrahim Gobir has said the upper chamber never spent over N4 billion to purchase 108 cars for lawmakers. Speaking with journalists in Abuja yesterday, Gobir, said only 36 SUVs were bought at the cost of N36.5 million each.In his words, “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.” Gobir, further said he wondered why Nigerians would kick against the purchase of new exotic cars as senators were entitled to official cars.
