As unconventional as it seems for an average Nigerian who prefers foreign-made to locally-made products, there are still some Nigerian governors with made-in-Nigeria vehicles as official cars.

In this article, TRIBUNE ONLINE takes a look at three Nigerian governors who use locally-made vehicles as their official cars.

Alex Otti (Abia)



Born February 18, 1965, Alex Otti was recently sworn in as the 5th democratically elected Governor of Abia. He is one of the very few Nigerian governors that use locally-made vehicles as official cars. At his inauguration on Monday, May 29, Otti reportedly rode in an Innoson-based parade vehicle, to the admiration of Nigerians.

Charles Soludo (Anambra)



Charles Soludo was born on July 28, 1960. He hails from Aguata, a Local Government Area in Anambra, with its headquarters in Aguata, a major part of which falls into Aguluezechukwu, while the smallest part falls within the commercial town of Ekwulobia. He is Number 2 on the list of Nigerian governors that used made-in-Nigeria vehicles as official cars.

Inuwa Yahaya (Gombe)



Like his Abia counterpart, Governor Inuwa Yahaya also unveiled (Innoson) as official car during his inauguration at Patami stadium. He was sworn-in for his second term in office.

Aonkuuse:
But Innoson singled out Otti to appreciate and left out Gombe governor??

God will continue to bless the Igbo business men and women all around the world

God bless Innoson motors (IVM)

God bless the federal republic of Nigeria

This is not all about Igbo.....


This is for the betterment of this country.


Since our music is gaining global awareness and recognition, our stars should begin to flaunt our locally made products to the world.


This is what other international music and movies stars do to contribute to the good economy of their country.

Hater, Innoson appreciated Gombe governor but your hate for the Igbos won't let you see that

Redoil:
out of serious hatred most governors from south west and north will never buy this vehicle even though it is more durable than all those so called imported vehicle

onumadu:
Really appreciate these governors.
They are the real patriots, and not the pretenders.
The problem is that a lot of Nigerians don't even know that these innoson vehicles are built STRONG for Nigerian roads.
I had an "encounter" with some of them along the Enugu-Onitsha expressway in 2021 during a serious traffic jam along that road leading to bridge head market and Niger bridge Onitsha.
Actually it was five of them -brand new Innoson "hummer Jeeps".
They were being driven in tandem, obviously to be delivered to some buyer(s).
Mehn, these vehicles dwarfed all other vehicles in terms of quick reaction, smoothness of maneuver and ruggedness.
That was my first time of seeing these vehicles up close and personal, and I was SERIOUSLY IMPRESSED.
These vehicles are like the "Cutix cables" of Nigeria. They are GOOD and beat others as far as Nigerian roads are concerned.
Why on earth would a Nigerian government department or agency buy foreign vehicles when we have these?
I dunno.
Congrats to these governors, congrats to Innoson, and congrats to Nigeria.

Leave North, at least you can see Gombe governor using it as his official vehicle.

It is those that claim to be fellow Southerners yet so envious and wicked that you should talk about. How these people live a life of hate, envy, jealousy and hatred baffles me. No wonder their region has remained stuck in 1950 with slum settlements they call cities. You can't practice witchcraft and not look like that
