A member of the House of Representatives, Johnson Agbonayinma has said the decision of the lower chamber to purchase 360 exotic cars was justifiable.

In a chat with TheCable, Johnson, a PDP lawmaker wondered why Nigerians were making a fuss about the purchase when Special Assistants and personal assistants to the President were driving jeeps.

“Don’t ask me that kind of question; go and interview Mr. President, who is flying helicopters and jets,” he said.

“Don’t ask me about the house of rep ordering Peugeot 305 or 508 when the special assistants (SA) and personal assistants (PAs) of the president and ministers are driving Land Cruiser and Lexus jeeps.

“You have not even interviewed councillors and state house of assembly (lawmakers) who are driving jeeps.”

The lower chamber had taken delivery of 360 peugeot cars worth N3.6bn, expected to delivered fully by January 2017.
