Jonathan, Governors, Others Keep Long Motorcades, Private Jets As Nigeria Strugg by idris93(m): 9:21am On Nov 27, 2014
President Goodluck Jonathan, and other officials of his administration, as well as governors and heads of the National Assembly are not letting off any of their conveniences as Nigeria battles dwindling revenues, retaining extra-large convoys and travel teams, and flying private jets and first class with public money while the same government says the nation must accept cutbacks to counter the oil crisis.

While the president and the governors have retained their long motorcades, the senate president, David Mark, and House of Representatives speaker, Aminu Tambuwal, are doing just the same.

Official convoys of the president averages 40 cars, those of the governors exceed 20. Mr. Mark’s convoy as of this week remained at least 12.

I used to think this was common with African leaders until Joyce Banda, upon her becoming the President of Malawi, sold the country's presidential jet and reduced the car in her convoy.
