The Senate has faulted a suit seeking to stop it from utilising the sum of N5.5billion it has allegedly earmarked for the purchase of official vehicles
Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Adedayo Adeyeye, described the court process as the handiwork work of detractors which is bound to fail.
They had asked the court to “restrain, prevent and stop the National Assembly Service Commission from paying or releasing the budgeted sum until the downward review of the amount proposed by the Senate.” “So why will people be relying on rumour and newspaper reports? I wouldn’t know and in any case, if the Senate is going to spend that ; if it is budgeted for, then it means it is purely legal.
