Adamawa governor, Ngilari, Buys Two Lexus SUVs For N180million

APR 30, 2015



The decision of the Adamawa state governor, Bala Ngilari to buy two Lexus SUVs for N180million, about $900,000 and two Hilux pick up vans at N400million have triggered outrage from members of the state House of Assembly.

On Wednesday, the members passed a resolution calling on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to probe the purchases.

The House, now split into factions, further called on the state government to re-instate the sacked Director General of the state Public Procurement Bureau, Malam Bello Umar, who it said was sacked by the executive for querying the purchase and for not following due process.

At its plenary presided over by the Speaker, Ahmadu Fintiri, the House also recommended a national honour for Umar for querying the purchase and other executive excesses that cost his sack.

According to the resolutions which came under Matters of Urgent Public Importance raised by the Deputy Speaker, Kwamoti Laori, told the house that the state government had sacked the Director General of the state Public Procurement Bureau after whistle-blowing on the executive recklessness.

Laori also claimed the Lexus cars were used ones. While a used Lexus armoured car can go for about $120,000, a new one usually sells for less than $200,000, online research shows.

The session also witnessed the declaration of three seats as vacant.

The affected members, Umar Abdulkarim (PDM-Nasarawo/Binyeri), Hamman Tukur (PDM-Jada/Mbulo) and Adamu Usman (APC-Toungo) where elected to the House under PDP but they defected to other parties to contest in the last general election.

The House unanimously condemned the purported impeachment of the speaker and his deputy by nine law makers at the Conference Hall of the Government House and announced a panel that will probe the action of the ‘Gang of nine’.

The Gang of Nine also met today and declared as illegal all the actions taken by the Fintiri led HOuse. The Gang has Jerry Kundisi (PDP-Gombi) as Speaker and it enjoys the backing of Governor Ngilari.

The conflict has made the police tighten security around the asembly complex.

Buying 180m worth of official cars is corruption. Meanwhile we would also like to know the value of the official vehicles of Fashola,Amaechi,Rochas,Aregbesola,Amosun,Ajimob and the governor of Katsina. Thanks in advance!

You are very right. Some people are just Naive. Do they know the cost of a bullet proof SUV?

Let them just tell us the worth of Fashola and Ameachi's SUVs. I can bet they are far more than 100 million Naira each.

I know some people will start saying that the cost of bullet proof SUV is less than 50 million Naira, forgetting the model and make of the car.

And for those saying that he doesn't need such cars,they have forgotten the assassination attempt made on the governor, killing his personal aides and members of his family.

The car might look expensive,but from the knowledge I got when I jokingly priced a fairly used bullet proof BMW X5 from a car dealer in Abuja. The response I got shows me that buying a new for bullet proof SUV for 90 million is fair and in some cases very cheap.

Let the Governor be abeg. May 29th isn't far. If the next governor likes let him be using open roof convertible car or power bike as his official vehicle in other to save cost, na him sabi. We will only be praying for him to see another May 29th after 4 years in one piece.

Armoured 2015 Lexus LX570 goes for between 50m - 55m. Trust me that money includes money for middlemen.
