‘Crass Behavior’ – Ezekwesili Slams Senate Over Defence of N57.6B Luxury SUVS

Oby Ezekwesili, a former minister of education, has criticized Sunday Karimi, the chairman of the Senate Committee on Services, for his defense of the senators’ planned N57.6 billion purchase of luxury cars in spite of public outcry.

According to Karimi, during a Tuesday conversation with journalists in Abuja, the National Assembly’s leadership chose to purchase luxury cars for legislators due to their four-year maintenance free life. This information is recalled by Naija News.

He went on to say that Nigerians were criticizing politicians while disregarding ministers.

He claims that some ministers drive more than three Land Cruisers, Prados, and other cars, and that no one confronts them about it.

Ezekwesili responded by calling Karimi’s reasoning “disgraceful and disgusting” in a post on X, claiming the Nigerian MPs lacked common sense.

She continued by saying that democracy in Nigeria can only be achieved if individuals like Karimi—who view public office as a place to live primarily and engage in corruption—are never elected.

She wrote: “@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.

“I decided to know more about the antecedents of Senator Sunday Karimi @SundayKarimi on the World Wide Web known as the Internet.

“I found not a single FootPrint other than his many annoying statements justifying he and his colleagues’ insensitive and wasteful use of scarce public money to purchase Luxury SUVs for all of them @nassnigeria @NGRSenate and @HouseNGR at a time of National Famine when Citizens are distressed.

 “Our Democracy will deliver when those like him who see public office as a place to “live large and indulge their debauchery” can never be elected or appointed into office. This is a Task that Must be Done by Enlightened, Empowered and Engaged Citizens as Electorates.”
