Afrobeats singer, songwriter and pianist, Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel popularly known as Mayorkun has slammed the decision of the National Assembly to purchase new SUV vehicles for themselves
The ‘Up To Something’ crooner who gave the advice via his social media page said that the Senators and House of Representatives members should have fixed Nigerian roads instead of buying new vehicles.
