Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, (SERAP), says pending the determination of the lawsuit, it is filing an injunction to stop the 360 members of the lower chamber from procuring Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs).
Recall that recently, reports appeared on social media that the leadership of the green chamber plans to purchase SUVs for all members of the House valued at N160 million each, totalling N57.6 billion for the purchase of the vehicles.
Spokesperson of the House, Akin Rotimi, confirmed via a statement that the green chamber is in the “phased process of procuring and distributing operational vehicles to honourable members.”.
Reacting via X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, SERAP posted: “We’re filing an urgent application for injunction to stop Nigeria’s National Assembly from taking delivery of 465 exotic and bulletproof vehicles (worth N40bn) for members and principal officials, pending the determination of the lawsuit on the matter”.
