Senator Victor Umeh
Senator representing Anambra Central, Victor Umeh, has defended the provision of official vehicles to lawmakers, arguing that members of the National Assembly require them to effectively carry out their legislative duties.
Speaking on AIT’s Political Platform on Monday, Umeh dismissed criticisms surrounding the allocation of vehicles to federal lawmakers, insisting that receiving an official vehicle for official functions should not be controversial.
When asked if he got a vehicle from the National Assembly, he said: “Why won’t I get a vehicle for performing official function? Are you not seeing people in the executive arm of government having fleet of vehicles?'”
