This people's publicity and propaganda stunts are getting on my nerves. For crying out loud, if he likes let him use Volkswagen Beetle. Enough of these Modesty Abracadabra. Some hero worshipers will term this as an achievement.
Tell us what he has done NOT what he rejected to do.
So Jonathan's choice was right afterall.

This is the main reason Nigerians voted for him. In this area, he is better than former President Jonathan.

Buhari should also ensure that Ministries, parastatals and agencies do not go on a buying spree as is the practice every budget year in this country. Infact, with the establishment of Nissan, Volswagen and Innoson car assembly plants, Nigerian government has no business buying cars imported from overseas. They should patronise these companies 100% and encourage the populace to do same, if they don't want them to close shop and leave in a few months time.

That is not what we need for now or want to hear. Waiting for the day that he will commission many project in Nigeria, etc the rate of unemployment should be reduce to one percent, working Industry/firms, good road linking all state in Nigeria, 24 hours electricity, reducing the rate of insurgency in Nigeria to zero level, well equips Universities,poly,COE,Nursing school etc, N40 per litre of fuel with kerosene, $1=N5 or even less. Boosting of Agricultural sector, etc. But not this frequent story that have no impact to the common citizen of Nigeria.

Sorry TANoid grin grin

Here is source with name of the Permanent Secretary who was planning to buy 400m naira vehicles for Buhari: http://www.punchng.com/news/buhari-rejects-n400m-armoured-cars/


I truly can't understand what is difficult for you to understand that this is just a very cheap propaganda. Remember that PMB is yet to appoint any aid, so who in the state house proposed to PMB to buy the cars. The source of this news is a human being and someone like you who bought the propaganda. Quoting him/her doesn't take away the propaganda toga from the news.

Shame on his entire supporter who never wanted Nigeria to move forward but just desire a failed country through his corrupt administration.

If the president could reject this kind of offer, tell me how someone will spend N250m (of government money oo) to buy car for herself and will not be jailed. Shame on GEJ

Another cooked up story. The same way they said he sold off the presidential jets yet the man refused to sell any. Some people are busy in their Lagos media offices creating a messianic image of a ruler who seem totally aloof to whatever that is happening around him.

I think they are truly selling those jets, but for whatever reason he doesn't want anyone to know till it's done. The attention it may bring can affect potential buyers. He may also need Senate approval to sell them which he may not be willing to jump that hurdle

President Muhammadu Buhari has turned down an offer by the Federal Government to procure five new armoured Mercedes Benz S-600 (V222) cars for his use.

The cars which total cost is put at about N400m were planned to be purchased by the State House.

A Presidency source told journalists on Thursday that Buhari got to know of the plan when the Permanent Secretary, State House, Mr. Nebolisa Emodi, was briefing him of his ministry’s activities on Wednesday.

Miffed by the revelation, the President was said to have told Emodi that the purchase was unnecessary.

Describing it as a waste of scarce resources, the source said Buhari told the permanent secretary that the cars he inherited from former President Goodluck Jonathan were good enough for him.

“I don’t need any new cars. The ones I am using now are just fine,” the source quoted the President as saying.

The top government officials, however, said Buhari welcomed other initiatives presented by the permanent secretary to reduce the operating costs of the State House and strengthen its Finance and Accounts Internal Control Mechanisms.

He however directed that more efforts be made henceforth to capture all State House expenses within the approved national budget.

This, he said, was to avoid the frequent recourse by past administrations to “Presidential intervention funds.”

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, confirmed to our correspondent that Buhari had withheld approval for the purchase of the new cars.

Shehu said the President would continue to use the cars left behind by Jonathan in keeping with his commitment to prudent management of national resources.

Our correspondent learnt that the proposal to procure the new cars was first made to Jonathan before he left office.

The former President was however said to have directed that it be represented to Buhari for approval on his assumption of office since the cars could only be delivered some months after the May 29 handover date.
