WHEN SADISTS ARE IN GOVERNMENT, THE PEOPLE BLEED!

Was it not high time that Nigeria was blacklisted by all foreign countries and institutions from assessing loans which have become an albatross, albeit horrible/shameful embarrassment to the present generation of upcoming leaders?

As at the time of this publication, Nigeria's external/domestic debt according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), stood at NGN 87.38 trillion (USD$113.42billion), in Q2 2023, from NGN49.85 trillion (USD108.30 billion in Q1 2023, indicating a growth rate of 75.27% on quarter-on-quarter basis.

Shamelessly, consecutive Presidents of Nigeria since 1999 had always gone cap in hand to borrow from well-established Nations as if Nigeria is accursed to modern development or bereft of cerebrals in all professional disciplines!

 Presently the incumbent Bola Ahmed Tinubu had virtually travel across the entire continents of the world to borrow monies for overhead commitments like paying salaries, allowances, penchant for foreign Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs), for his 48-man Cabinet of Ministers, and their deputies not excluding National Assembly Legislators and all high-ranking members of the two Chambers!

In spite of public outcry Tinubu went ahead to order for not less than 600 SUVS already being distributed as largess to the insensitive elected/political appointees in a feudalistic manner that smarts of impunity at the highest order! Tinubu believes that he is not accountable to anybody especially now that the Supreme Court had been arm-twisted to rubber stamp his kangaroo election as the man in the saddle of power in Nigeria until 2027! As painful as the entire process has unfolded, WE STILL WANT TO BELIEVE that there are some righteous persons in his administration who could speak out from amongst the THREE TIERS against the INJUSTICE being meted to Nigerian Citizens from whom they have Constitutionally derived the power of administration! They MUST confront the INGLORIOUS SYSTEM NOW!

CURIOUSLY PETER OBI HAS ENCOURAGED LABOUR PARTY LEGISLATORS TO COLLECT AND ENJOY THE NGN160MILLION NAIRA EACH SUV AS OFFICIAL ALLOCATION!!!

SAHARA REPORTERS NEWS. October 29, 2023.

 "House Of Reps’ Members Take Delivery Of N160Billion Posh SUVs As Senators Await Theirs Amid Rising Poverty In Nigeria!

October 29, 2023. Similarly, the first batch of SUVs will be delivered to their counterparts in the Senate this week. It was also reported that the last batch of SUVs for lawmakers will arrive before December.

The National Assembly leadership had declared the purchase of imported SUVs for each lawmaker and bulletproof vehicles for key officers.

Meanwhile, this has generated public outrage, especially coming amid a huge debt burden and at a time when an unprecedented number of Nigerians live in poverty.

The SUVs for each of the 109 senators and 360 members of the House of Representatives are estimated at N57.6 billion. According to reports, the vehicles would cost N160 million each. The spokesperson for the House of Representatives, Akin Rotimi, told Sunday PUNCH correspondent that members of the House had started taking delivery of the vehicles.

Rotimi said, “Some members have started taking delivery of their vehicles. Priority was given to women in the parliament, people with any form of disability and the elderly.

“The management has also ensured that only members who have been fully disposed of their court cases will be given the vehicles to avoid problems.”

Corroborating this, a member of the Green Chamber, who pleaded anonymity, noted that the management was very keen on members justifying the use of the vehicle for their legislative operations. The source noted that the management had issued a circular to members not to sell any of the vehicles, stating clearly that it was the property of the National Assembly. The source said, “This particular Assembly is very particular about things being done right. In previous assemblies, people would collect their vehicles and sell them off, but the Speaker has put his foot down against such.

“The spokesperson was mandated to issue a statement internally to members and ensure that no member must sell their vehicles as they are National Assembly property.

“Beyond the circular, the management is seriously following up, particularly to justify the purchase, because the vehicles were bought to give lawmakers a level of autonomy from the executive.” According to top-level sources, the vehicles will arrive in three batches for the use of the committee chairmen and members.

Another source stated that although the vehicles had generated a lot of controversy and public discussions, they were to aid the lawmakers in performing their duties.

Last week, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Services, Sunday Karimi gave the reasons why the lawmakers jettisoned the country’s car manufacturing companies for Toyota, a Japanese multinational automotive manufacturer.

Karimi, who represents Kogi West Senatorial District, in the 10th National Assembly, spoke during a live appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Wednesday, claiming that the lawmakers chose Toyota because of evidence of quality and durability. He added that Toyota products had been tried and tested while locally produced vehicles were still in the developing stage.

He said, “Today, we decided for foreign, Toyota, because Toyota has a name and a law standing for quality and durability. We decided to go for Land Cruiser Toyota which is tried and tested. Tomorrow, we patronize as local manufacturing develops. We are going to patronize them.”

But when asked if he and his colleagues were patriotic Nigerians considering how they shunned locally made vehicles for foreign-made ones at a time when Nigeria was struggling with forex earnings, Karimi said, “Yes (we are patriotic). I have just said something; as we develop in terms of quality and all that, we are going to patronize Nigerians.” Karimi also identified the deplorable state of the country’s major roads as one of the reasons why they went for the posh vehicles. 

ARE THERE RIGHTEOUS POLITICIANS IN NIGERIA?

Rotimi stated that buying of operational vehicle is not peculiar to the legislature, as appointees of the executive have also gotten cars attached to them.

He explained that members were to drop the cars after their tenure but could keep them if they were willing to purchase them.

“For the duration of the 10th assembly (2023 – 2027), the vehicles shall remain the property of the National Assembly.

“At the expiration of the tenure of the 10th Assembly in 2027, should the extant assets deboarding policy of government still be in place, honourable members may have the option of making payment for the outstanding value of the vehicles to government coffers before they can become theirs, otherwise it remains the property of the National Assembly,” he added.

IT IS NOT TOO LATE FOR MULTI-BILLIONAIRE BOLA TINUBU TO CHAMPION A REFERENDUM FOR UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM THAT WILL PERMANENTLY CANCEL THE CURRENT FISCAL PROFLIGACY/SQUANDER MANIA OF A PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM AND CREATE AMPLE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE POOR MASSES TO ENJOY TRUE DEMOCRACY!

Continuous disobedience to this Divine Wish will incur unpleasant punishments!

Our God is a "Consuming Fire"!
