Ndume, who is the representative of Borno South in the Senate, made the disclosure when he appeared as a guest on Arise Television\u2019s Morning Show on Friday.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that each lawmaker in the National Assembly received N160 million for a Land Cruiser SUV.<\/p>\n

Ndume, who is the Senate Chief Whip, stressed that it is not a new thing for government workers to buy vehicles for official duties.<\/p>\n

He said that the vehicles are needed for the lawmakers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reason why we did not choose Nigerian-made cars is because they don\u2019t manufacture their vehicles, but they assemble them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI prefer Nigerian-made products, but the Nigerian car companies are only buying the vehicle parts and assembling them here.\u201d<\/p>\n
