The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) is the latest group to also condemn the legislators.
Vanguard Newspapers reports that a statement signed by the Union’s President and Secretary General, Bobboi Kaigama and Musa Lawa said “For over two months running the country has been experiencing chronic fuel scarcity such that has never been heard of before. The free-fall of the naira, poor health facilities, glorified primary schools as universities, closure of manufacturing companies, insecurity of lives and properties, which essentially is caused by unemployment, etc.
”Our case has become so deplorable that we have now become a laughing stock among the comity of nations.”

“Where is the conscience of the so-called lawmakers? Where are the good roads to drive cars? Why is it that the privileged in this country do not consider the less-privileged? Lawmakers ride in public transportation in most developed countries to attend to state matters, despite the affluence of their country. The reason our leaders do ridiculous things beats our imagination,” the statement said.
President Buhari revealed to Nigerians that the National Assembly was planning to spend N47.5b on cars, during his maiden media chat.
