Distribution of Exotic Cars Divided; Saraki Accused of Partiality

There is ill-feelings and tensions between members of the upper chamber over the secret distribution of the first batch of brand new 108 Sport Utility Vehicles.


A senator said only identified members of the pro-Saraki’s Like Minds Senators were favoured in the distribution of the vehicles.

“Those who collected their keys to the vehicles were identified Saraki supporters who had been following him to the courts since his corruption case started. So, they were being rewarded for their loyalty.

“I know they would push some of us to the last batch but we are not bothered. They met with us seeking our cooperation to move the Senate forward being members of the same party but see the type of injustice they are perpetrating now?” he complained.

The senator denied the campaign by the Saraki loyalists that members of the SUF wanted to sell their own jeeps to create an impression before their constituents that they rejected them.

The Senate spokesperson, Sabi Abdullahi, refused to comment on the issue.

“I don’t want to make any comment on the issue either relating to the distribution or the process of procurement," he said.
