The 24 Edo State House of Assembly members-elect are in for a mouth watering package as the state government has made plans to gift each of the lawmakers N60 million worth of car.

valedictory session last Thursday, June 8, 2023.

At the session, the immediate past speaker, Hon. Marcus Onobun and his 10-member house approved the sum of N3.5billion loan contract facility requested by the governor.

The speaker disclosed that out of the total amount, N1.5 billion was for procurement of vehicles for the incoming 24 members of the eight Assembly and for the Chief Judge of Edo State.

He also added that the balance of N2 billion was to fund critical infrastructure at the Stella Obasanjo Hospital.

Truth Live News also learnt that the outgone assembly was to go away with their Pajero Jeep as part of severance benefit in addition to other undisclosed mouth watering benefits while the speaker would go with his either Lexus 470 or Lexus 570 Jeep.

Two out of the members were reelected while the speaker, Hon Marcus Onobun has since resumed at the National Assembly representing Esan Central/ Esan West/ Igueben Federal Constituency.

Still at its last plenary session, the outgoing members at the Committee of a Whole also considered and passed a bill to amend a law to make provisions for the emolument of elected political officers and Public Officers 2007.

Also passed was a bill for a law to amend the Pension Rights of the Governor and Deputy Governor Law, 2007, which was amended.

Obaseki is a total waste of a Governor. At this critical time in our economic history, you obtain loan for frivolous and mundane purpose? Who among the 24 members of the state legislators does not have at least a car or two? They claim the other part of the money would be used for infrastructural development, I laff in Swahili. Keep looting.

Haven being deserted by his deputy, Obaseki is looking for new alliances.
Ugly wicked man

Borrow to buy cars for lawmakers

Nigerians sha .. too dull
