Senate speaks on spending N5.5bn on cars
utilising the sum of N5.5billion it has allegedly earmarked for the purchase of official vehicles for its Principal Officers.
However, 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. He said: “It is an exercise in futility; a complete exercise in futility. Even I as a Senator have not heard anything about that.
