National Debt: If Borrowing Is A Crime, Stop Using Mercedes Benz, Lexus - Tinubu by Islie: 8:15am On Oct 22, 2022
Mr Tinubu said Nigerians complaining about huge borrowings by the federal government should stop using Mercedes Benz and Lexus vehicle brands.

AHMED OLUWASANJO

In his latest public delivery of incoherence, Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the 2023 elections, says Nigerians against borrowings by the Buhari regime should stop using Mercedes Benz and Lexus brands of vehicles.

Mr Tinubu made the assertion during the presentation of campaign manifestation on Friday in Abuja without providing context or rationale for his charge.

“I stand before you proudly, noting that those who are afraid of the budget, the thoughts of borrowing. Yes, borrowing. If borrowing is a crime, the entire America should be in jail. If borrowing is a crime, stop using Mercedes Benz and Lexus,” Mr Tinubu declared.

Listeners were left in quandary as to the correlation between usage of particular brands of vehicles and concerns for ballooning national debts

The former Lagos governor has been under scrutiny for his mental alertness and general healthiness as he struggles with his frail physicality.

Recently, he has made some incoherent references which have further raised concerns among his watchers, who fear the 70-year-old may be showing signs of dementia.

Last week, Mr Tinubu caused a stir when he said Kaduna Governor Nasir El-rufai’s vision, creativity and resilience in turning “a rotten situation into a bad one” is necessary for the incoming administration.

At another function in Kaduna, when asked how his administration would tackle climate change as being championed by the West, Mr Tinubu answered by saying: “Climate change is a question of how do you prevent a church rat from eating a poisoned Holy Communion.”

In one of his recent public engagements, Mr Tinubu admitted that his handlers had warned him not to speak outside his written script, in an apparent move to curtail his slew of gaffes.

No no no to the founder of agberos in Nigeria as president. Imagine the childish statement! We must not repeat the 2015 deadly political mistake in 2023. We must lock up this 'old creature' in the bullion van next year.

People trying to force Tinubu into Government are plain evil. A man who can't comprehend or articulate properly! probably because of old age!
This is beyond politics! We need a sound leader!

What's wrong with Tinubu naa?
He should talk less. Cos if Atiku should start talking, he ll goof more than Tinubu.
Meanwhile, I think he wanted to say govt officials should stop using official Benz and BMW. Cos reduction in cost of governance is one of the best things to quickly do to sanitise Nigeria. When the political offices are less attractive, people ll go there to only serve and not to make money. Also, Nigeria ll be spending less on salaries of political appointees or elected ones unlike how it's high presently.
So...maybe if Tinubu or any of the candidates v the balls to promise and do that, we may turn to them.

If you are foreigner and reading this.. you need to understand that both the writer of this article and many of the commenters are mischievous people and do not represent the way Nigerians think....
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed is saying the same thing that all nigerians have been saying including obi who doesn't have a road map for what he says. Buy locally made products. Is mercedes benz or lexus produced in Nigeria? No! While you buy this vehicles you're not helping Nigeria and Nigerians.... How many Nigerians are patronizing locally made cars? In everything we prefer imported, yet we say the economy is not doing well, dollar is going up.. and then you have a presidential aspirant that said he will lift all restrictions on importation turning Nigeria to a dumping site.

To real Nigerians as you listen to these politicians during these election period. Critically analyze their depth by what they say and also scrutinize their past record, that way chances of voting a dullard is slim.

Modified:
Endless mention, endless insults why? Because I chose to follow my sense of reasoning....
God knows I have never been a part of any political party, I have never met Tinubu in person but growing up in Lagos, I have always been a fan of the man, he made education easy for me... Among other things...
I know that Tinubu can turn Nigeria around, the man is a doer, he's been consistent. He has made elders that have remained loyal to him years after years, if you are into trade or doing yahoo you are not going to understand that Nigeria has some real problem but if you have worked in a factory or have ever tried to work in a factory you will understand, people make 18k a month in this country, why? Because OBJ introduced a contract staff nonsense. You go to a company to work, the company will employ you under another company name just so they can short pay you... It was OBJ and Atiku that did that to the youth. The same Atiku that want to be president again... Tinubu is out there talking about getting employed and having access to loans for easy life as in developed country model... A snippet of his manifesto tells so much about his genuity...

Lagos was bankrupt when Tinubu took over in 1999, the state did 700b+ last year in IGR. Such wand is what Nigeria need.

See while we troll and catch cruise, let not forget that whatever happens in this country we all enjoy the consequences....

P.S Even if I wanted to I can reply all the quotes and mentions

Imagine this corrupt fossil that flies about in private jets, including his children who also buy condos worth millions of dollars now telling Nigerians to sell their ordinary Benz and Lexus they're managing.

Anytime he opens his dirty mouth, only garbage would be coming out. A braindead old man suffering from dementia and Parkinson disease. A clown that can no longer control his mental or physical state says it is his turn to rule Nigeria.

I don't pity Tinubu, I pity the fools still supporting this ugly crook.

Tinubu keep showing the low intelligence of his haters!

He mentioned two things here

He said if borrowing is a crime, then America will be in jail (since they've got debt too). He also said if borrowing is a crime, people should stop using Lexus etc (which are not from Nigeria of course). He's saying there's nothing wrong in borrowing, only if it's used for something tangible such as development, just like there's nothing wrong with America borrowing since they're using it for good stuff.

Stop asking questions that are not related to the discussion. Tinubu was questioned about Nigeria's huge debt only for him to ask Nigerians to sell their Benz and Lexus. The same senile man also said all Americans should be in jail if debt is bad.

Does such stupid statements make sense to you?
