The choice of the Adamawa state senator, Bala Ngilari to purchase two Lexus SUVs for N180million, about $900,000 and two Hilux get vans at N400million have activated shock from members from the state House of Assembly.
On Wednesday, the members passed a resolution approaching the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to look into the purchases.
The House, now split into groups, further ccalled the state government to re-instate the sacked Director General of the state Public Procurement Bureau, Malam Bello Umar, who it said was sacked by the official for questioning the purchase and for not taking after due process. At its plenary presided by the Speaker, Ahmadu Fintiri, the House likewise recommended a national honor for Umar for questioning the purchase and other official executive excesses that cost his sack.
