A former Minister of Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili, has
knocked the National Assembly over an attempt to justify the purchase of luxury
sport utility vehicles for its members.
Ezekwesili described the defence put up by the legislative
arm of the government as an “utterly disgraceful and disgusting act of
tone-deafness on display”.
She was reacting to a statement alleged to have been made by
Senator Sunday Karimi in defence of the SUVs.
In a post on her social media platform, X, on Friday, she
slammed Karimi’s remark that “it is not only lawmakers that are irresponsible.
Ministers and Local Government Chairmen all have 4-6 Land Cruisers so you
citizens should stop disturbing us, naaa” as annoying.
“Who is this annoyingly vacuous Senator Sunday Karimi
@SundayKarimi of the @NGRSenate whose sole argument for wasting public
resources to purchase Luxury SUV vehicles for members of the @nassnigeria at
this time of National FINANCIAL DISTRESS is, “it is not only Lawmakers that are
irresponsible. Ministers and Local Government Chairmen all have 4-6
Land-cruisers so you citizens should stop disturbing us, naaa”.
“Utterly disgraceful and disgusting act of tone-deafness on
display.
“Let me kindly ask you and your colleagues to please read
the following scriptures as wisdom appears to be away from you all on this
matter that enrages your citizens: Luke 17:27, Matthew 24:38-39.
“Continue if it pays you but do not say citizens did not
help you to act wisely,” she wrote.
