“If you go by the budget, I give more than what the budget provided for; more than that from our pocket. In the previous budget, there was no provision for new cars. I bought new cars for my constituents;133 cars and we are going to give out 10 in tge coming week. It is from our pocket and there is no car below N8 to 9 million.
“It is from my pocket; it was not provided in the budget. Now, what was provided for in the budget for me is to buy motorcycles. I think it was 150, but I have gave out more than 200. I have to add because we have a very large constituency; the most populous in Nigeria.
“There is a lot of poverty and unemployment. People are coming to ask for this and that and I have to buy from my own pocket.
