The National Assembly on Sunday said its members
were eager to meet with President Muhammadu Buhari over the President’s “claim”
that the National Assembly planned to spend over N47bn to buy exotic cars this
year.
The House of Representatives, on its part, stated
that a meeting with Buhari would put the records straight on how the President
got his figure, since the legislature had not contemplated“making such a
mind-boggling”expenditure.
Buhari had, during his maiden Presidential Media
Chat on Wednesday last week, wondered that the National Assembly planned to buy
cars worth over N47bn, in addition to taking car loans and generous transport
allowances.
However, both the Senate and the House of
Representatives in their separate reactions less than 24 hours after the media
chat, denied that there was a plan to buy cars worth the amount the President
quoted.
