Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel, the popular singer known as Mayorkun, has addressed the controversy surrounding the planned procurement of 2023 model Toyota Prado SUVs for the 469 members of the National Assembly.
He sent a direct message to the lawmakers, cautioning them against purchasing new vehicles and instead urged them to allocate the funds for road repairs.
The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Services, Sunday Karimi, had justified the purchase of the vehicles in a chat with journalists, saying “Nigerian roads are bad.”
Reacting via his Snapchat page recently, singer Mayorkun urged the lawmakers to fix Nigerian roads instead of buying vehicles for themselves.
He wrote, “Road no good, una dey buy new SUV.
“Fix the f**king rooooadddddd!!!!
“Lekki Epe Express is Terrible!. Appalling sh*t!
“Nothing like I can drive’ in this country o, I sabi road’ is a better compliment.”
