Ezekwesili, while reacting to Karimi’s statement in defence of the SUVs’ purchase, said it was insensitive to the plight of Nigerians whose suffering had worsened lately.
She tweeted on Friday: “Who is this annoyingly vacuous Senator Sunday Karimi @SundayKarimi of the @NGRSenate whose sole argument for wasting public resources to purchase Luxury SUV vehicles for members of the @nassnigeria at this time of National FINANCIAL DISTRESS is, “it is not only Lawmakers that are irresponsible. Ministers and Local Government Chairmen all have 4-6 Land-cruisers so you citizens should stop disturbing us, naaa”.
“Utterly disgraceful and disgusting act of tone-deafness on display.
“Let me kindly ask you and your colleagues to please read the following scriptures as wisdom appears to be away from you all on this matter that enrages your Citizens:
Luke 17:27, Matthew 24:38-39.
