A New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) Chieftain, Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo has berated Nigerian senators over the plan to purchase SUVs worth 160 million each.
He insisted that the legislators were insensitive to the current suffering of the ordinary Nigerians.
Speaking via a statement issued on Friday and made available to Naija News, Oguntoyinbo said the lawmakers were pretending to be unaware of the suffering of Nigerians presently.
He lamented that the citizenry are going through harsh circumstances due to the removal of fuel subsidy yet the senators were having a field day with the nation’s resources.
The NNPP chieftain wondered how those who are meant to represent the people could be so uncaring.
Ajadi said, “Many Nigerians are unable to feed themselves. Many are dying daily as a result of poverty. Many schoolchildren are dropping out of school due to the current high inflation rate.
“It is sad that our senators are thinking and behaving as if they are not living in Nigeria. They are behaving as if the plight of Nigerians is not their problem. They are highly insensitive and immorally unconscious of the suffering of ordinary Nigerians.
“If they are sensitive, will they be talking of cars costing billions of Naira when the exchange rate of Naira to dollar is unarguably embarrassing.
“It is also sad that many of our national legislators are justifying the purchase of the SUVs at such an exorbitant rate on bad roads across the length and breadth of the country.
“That cannot be a justification, the bad roads signs that they are not doing well in government. We need to ask them , whose duty is it to provide good roads if not for the Federal Government, of which senator is part of.”
