Reason APC Remains Silent Over Oduah's BMW

Nigerians are still under shock about the silence from the camps of the All Progressive Congress (APC), over the alleged purchase of two BMW armoured vehicles for the Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah, for N225 million.

As mounting outrage trails the, Elombah.com investigation has exposed the reason behind the silence of APC in the raging matter of the ruling party's $1.6 million dollar car scandal at the aviation ministry. Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Raji Fashola and his political Godfather, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu two years ago took delivery of new acquisitions; three N600 million bullet-proof Jeeps.

The cars are customized- by special order of Lagos state government. The All Progressives Congress (APC) is known to issue condemnatory press releases at the flimsiest of excuse, the last being their statement describing as the height of insensitivity the decision by First Lady Patience Jonathan to receive an Honorary Doctorate award in far away South Korea.



Source identified Fashola and Tinubu's purchase of three bullet proof cars- Jeeps- with bomb detector apparatus and surveillance cameras.

Findings revealed that two of the purchase are with Governor Fashola for official usage as the helmsman of Lagos state. Asiwaju Tinubu is said to have one to his name as party leader. The brand of the bullet proof cars is identified as Toyota Prado Jeep.

The cost of each jeep- including handling, registration, insurance and other fees- is two hundred million Naira. The three jeeps are valued at six hundred million Naira. This is double the amount spent by Ms Stella Oduah in the current bullet-proof jeep scandal.

The three automobiles were reportedly bought for Asiwaju Tinubu and Governor Fashola on grounds of 'security'.

Insiders say that the two political figures have not gone public with their jeeps for fear of attracting public anger.

The Osun state governor is also reported amount 6 other APC governors that have their names to the Bulletproof car. The government of Osun state bought their own bulletproof car at the sum of N125 Million.

We are appealing to our Politicians to look at the faces of Nigerians on the street before going for these monumental waste of scare resources.

About 480 Nigerians die daily for hunger related sickness across the country.

Fashola actually uses a Land Rover discovery. Not Range Rover, which is far more expensive.

I know this cause I was stuck in traffic on way to MMA last year, looked to my side, and saw Fashola reading a book at the back of the vehicle to my right. I looked again and it was him. Interestingly, the guy had no out riders, no siren. No fanfare at all.

This Elumbah is clearly an Igbo-owned blog trying to muddle the waters to divert attention from the BMW -scandal. But their trick is all too obvious. Very amateurish.

That said, most Nigerians suspect that things purchased by govt officials are usually inflated. However, real evidence of grafts rarely comes to the public glare, until the current scandal - and the scale of the graft has shocked most people.

The woman just has to go. And she will...it's just a matter of time. She's going to be such a liability for GEJ that he will eventually dump her.

Oga, I concur with you fully sir!

Only last month on a Saturday, during a celebration (guess it's his 2000 days in office) at LTV Blue Roof, I managed to "escape" the traffic hold-up only to get to Awolowo Way ans notice this black Range Rover Sport in the traffic. I was attracted to it naturally only to notice its unusual number "LSG 01", next two flags on its bonnet, it was then I looked fully to see our respectable Governor sitting calmly at the back READING a book !!! The glasses were clear; nothing tinted or shaded. It's then I noticed that it was a long motorcade of the Governor that was caught up in a traffic, and they all just sat it out calmly without any siren noise or stampede of security details to "clear road".

Now, this is very very atypical of Nigerian leader. No siren, no gra-gra, orderliness, clear glass vehicle, no overbuilt-to-ugly SUV, now this is the cream of it all....READING A BOOK !!!

That's the kind of leader that I will follow any day and any time. If this man contests for Governor in my own loved state of Enugu, I will not only vote for him, but will camping for him also for free of charge.

There's more to a man than his name and language he speaks, only foolish souls that are destined to perdition will never know this.

Governor Fashola, you have earned my respect sir ! cool cool cool

They can't nail no one because their own SKELETONS will start showing up in PUBLIC also like this one:

ICPC summons Ogun Speaker, others for N168m scam

The Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Suraj Adekunbi, is to appear before the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission on Monday (today) over an alleged N168m car scam. shocked shocked shocked

The Speaker and the other principal officers of the House, our correspondent gathered, were invited to the ICPC Abuja headquarters over an alleged contract inflation in the purchase of 28 Toyota Avensis cars for the 26 members of the Assembly.


Adekunbi is to appear before the commission along with the Clerk of the House, Mr. Muyiwa Adenopo, deputy clerk and other principal officers of the Assembly.

Our correspondent learnt that the commission was acting on a petition written against the leadership of the Assembly by an unidentified person.

A source close to the House, who pleaded anonymity, said the Speaker and others had already received the letters of invitation from the ICPC.



Several calls put to Adenopo to respond to the development did not go through. He also did not reply to the SMS sent to him as at press time.

However, the ICPC Resident Media Consultant, Mr. Folu Olamiti, told our correspondent on the telephone that the Speaker and others had been invited to appear before the anti-graft agency today in Abuja.

He said, “Yes, the Speaker and others have been invited but I don’t have the details.”

Meanwhile, the commission has called on Nigerians to develop a positive mindset in the fight against graft in the country.

A statement on Sunday by Olamiti said the commission’s chairman, Mr. Ekpo Nta, made the plea in Kaduna during the inauguration of National Anti-Corruption Volunteer Corps.

Nta, who was represented by a member of ICPC, Alhaji Abdullai Ado Bayero, said Nigerians should be positive as the ICPC had embarked on a number of preventive strategies and initiatives to check fraud in the country.

One of such initiatives, he said, was the establishment of the NAVC.

According to him, the NAVC was established to domicile the fight against corruption in the people.

Nta said, “We should all be involved in the struggle to stamp out corruption. A situation where the battle is seen as government’s business alone is not good for sustainability of the crusade.”

Is this man not still the Speaker in ACN/APC Ogun state House of Assembly, almost one year after the scandal

* Has anyone seen Tinubu's asset declaration on assumption of office in 1999 and when he left in 2007
** Has anyone seen Fashola's declaration of assets when he assumed office in 2007?
*** Where did Tinubu get the 1 million pounds sterling he gave for Mimiko's first campaign before he "betrayed" him?

Alagbari ohun l'oga MUGU!!!
