The outgoing Senate President, David Mark, and his deputy, Ike
Ekweremadu, did not drive back to their homes with the usual convoy of
exotic vehicles after the valedictory session on Thursday.
The
vehicles were parked at the parking spaces allocated to the offices of
the principal officers as of 7.05pm while Mark and Ekweremadu were
driven away in their personal vehicles without siren.
There
are five vehicles each in the convoy of the two principal officers.
They included two principal vehicles, two security vehicles, two pilot
pick up vans and two power motorbikes each.
A clerk attached to a
senate committee, told our correspondent on condition of anonymity,
that the it was normal for the principal officers to drop the fleet of
vehicles and power motorcycles in their possession since their tenure
had ended with the valedictory session held on Thursday.
He said,
“The vehicles are property of the National Assembly and the Clerk of
the National Assembly, being the chief accounting officer, would account
for all the vehicles, hence the man waited after the session to take
possession of the vehicles.”
