Senate Divided Over Distribution Of SUVs

  

There is already ill-feeling and tension among members of the Senate over the secret distribution of the first batch  of brand new 108 SUV to 36 senators.
It was gathered that each of the senator from the 36 states has collected the keys to the land cruiser jeep.

 A senator who craved anonymity, confided in Punch on Sunday, that only identified members of the pro-Saraki’s Like Minds Senators were favoured in the distribution of the vehicles, with the  exception of Lagos and Osun states where Saraki had no identifiable loyalist, his supporters in the South-West geopolitical zones were already in possession of  the vehicles since Thursday.
“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.
“The beneficiaries from Ondo, Oyo, Ogun were die-hard loyalists of Saraki but the beneficiaries from Lagos and Osun states were not members of the Like Minds. The senators who collected from Lagos and Osun,  had the consent of their two other colleagues.
“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?”
