Peter Obi: I Used 22-car Convoy As Governor Until I Found Out 13 Were Empty by sylvestersamuel(m): 7:20am On Feb 24, 2020
Peter Obi, a former governor of Anambra state, says it is “madness” for public officials to move with a convoy of about 20 cars or more.

Obi, a former vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said he used to do the same thing until he discovered 13 of the cars in his convoy were empty.

He said this in his lecture at the convocation of Veritas University, Abuja, on Saturday.

He also said it is irresponsible for people to have about 20 policemen guarding them.

Obi said: “You see big people going round with 15 or 20 vehicles and causing confusion all over the place and disturbing public peace and everybody with his own big title.

“If I was coming here with 20 policemen, to Nigerians, that shows I am ‘Your Excellency’. That is irresponsibility; it doesn’t happen anywhere in the world.

“There is no place in the world that I have seen where one man moves around with 22 vehicles. It is madness.

“I used it as a governor. You will not believe it. I used it as a governor until I asked to find out one day how many of the cars people were occupying, and about 13 of the cars were empty.

“So the cars were creating nuisance for the public and making things difficult for the travelling people and in Nigeria that shows you are powerful; you are in power.”

The former governor said Nigeria has to seek new ways of doing things, else the system will collapse.

You need to see how normal and ordinary these politicians look when they travel out to Western counties.

They are only recognized in a shiithole county.

African man likes to abuse power.
It's a curse we'd never find out who placed on us.
Funny enough the money budgeted for fueling those cars monthly will feed a community for 6months.

no body prays for war but when it comes even the strong still falls, there's what some people call vehicular ballistic shield , if his car gets disabled, 2 or 3 backup cars intersect and create a shield, mostly 7.62 armoured or bomb shielded cars, and the target is swiched to a backup runner car.
this is some high tech sh*t next time try not to challenge what you don't know, simply ask questions with respect

He drives 22 cars around with 13 empty just as he has only one wrist watch but Nigerians have seen him with more than 10. Peter Obituary is a big fool.
