Bello El-Rufai, the eldest son of former Kaduna State Governor has protested the purchase of vehicles, computers, utensils and other items in every budget circle of the government.

Speaking in a video during his argument on the floor of the House of Representatives, the chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking said it is wasteful and must be scrapped.

He said: “The recurring issue in every budget is the budget for vehicles. We budget for computers every year. We budget for utensils every year. Vehicles don’t expire. These are the little things we should look at otherwise the blocking of loopholes we talked about will not come.

“Since I was a child, the budget every year has come with new computers, new furniture. We should cut them out totally if we must block loopholes.”

His comments come after President Bola Tinubu submitted the 2025 N49.7 trillion budget to the National Assembly with the sum of N164.9 million on buying tires for State House bulletproof vehicles, plain cars and Jeeps.

In the 2024 supplementary budget, the presidency allocated N6.9 billion for the procurement of vehicles for the State House, and N1.5 billion allocated for new cars for the Office of the First Lady.
