Okay, then the next thing is to escalate the situation.
Of course, and I hope you'll take a few minutes to watch the video evidence of what he actually said, in context, just as you've taken the time to condemn him earlier.

This is a totally brainless argument.
but the most brainless thing here that matters a lot, is that our president see nothing wrong in approving the purchase of such luxurious cars for official use of lawmakers, while pleading with Nigerians to tighten their belts because of economic crunch .
therefore as you can see , my brainless harmless opinion means nothing and cost Nigeria nothing because am not your policy maker, better confront your policy maker , then i will accept you have a little brain to be proud of.

How is this defending biko, our brown envelope journalists? undecided


He said the LP House members told him that the car is not for their personal use but for official use, meaning they will only be shortchanging themselves (LP) if they decide not to use it since the car is for each office...


That aside, just imagine if it's Obi that's the president, you think he will not convince the house members to go for a cheaper version of those cars, instead of this overpriced ones Tinubu has used to welcome them into his malfeasance? undecided
Yeah, but he couldn't convince his minions in the Assembly to ask for it now? Pandora pathological liar Obi slave, keep lying to yourself.

but sincerely speaking, if they rejected the cars, they will only be cheating themselves, especially when the proceeds will only be channelled back to the cess-pit of corruption, that's into their famous structure of criminality, where the masses will not benefit anything from.
Nigerians are not ready for genuine change, therefore they should enjoy themselves while the rottenness prevails.
lol. what have you benefited from the fuel subsidy removal, so far ?
That makes zero sense.

You are sex starved you meet people gang-raping someone... are you justified to join them because you're h0rny ?

A truly principled person would refuse it. This incident shows they are ALL the same.

This is how he would justify such spending if he had won too. 😀😀😀. Same politicians same game. Those cars are too expensive even though I know the amounts would have been inflated with bribes left and centre. A 20m or 25m car would also do same thing. Greedy people in power.

According to you, it is right to sin because others are doing it anyway.. Yet you still think you make sense to say you are different from so called sinners

Slaves who foolishly worship and defend their oppressors would always grapple onto straws to prove a point that "everyone else is also a corrupt oppressor". These cretins would stop at nothing to prove that OBI is in the same immoral corrupt league as the political oppressors they exalt.

The first and most important thing Peter OBI said was that as a president, he would never have approved N160million for buying cars for legislators. Obviously I didnt expect the brown envelop media to report that part of the story where he condemned it.
He would never approve what legislators, a separate arm of government agreed on?

grin

You've got jokes.

If truly LP is the change Nigeria needs then the right thing should be all LP lawmakers rejecting the SUV that will be given them, by doing this, we will know they are truly the game changers and they care for a betterment of the masses but if they do otherwise then LP Na lamba party.

That excuse Obi dey give na normal naija yahoo politician format. You dey condemn the presidency for wasteful spending, shey dem tell u say d cars wey dem budget for the presidency na their personal cars?

LP top to bottom
You made a valid point
To add... they would have asked for the official car of that office from the past lawmakers. Or were they taken by the previous lawmakers as their private property? Or were there no official cars for their respective offices in the past?

That would have been a face of new Nigeria

even if the LP lawmakers rejected their own cars, will the masses benefit from the returned proceeds ?
the answer is a big NO.
but at least, it will be on record that law makers from a certain party rejected and condemmed wasteful spending from the govt. That's sacrifice, leading by example.

" I can tell you I heard that these vehicles are official cars. They have to use it. It is meant for office."
You heard this and you still believe this LP would be different from APC? then you need to visit psychiatrist asap and pls go along with your family member because the thing might have spread to everyone too.

I would have doubted you on this, but I don't have proof. Anyways, with Obi's current support for the LP Imo guber candidate, Senator Achonu, shows he rolls along with corrupt individuals. This Senator Achonu is said to be corrupt/fraudulent and does not represent anyway what Obi portrays.
How Obi supports someone who decamped from APC to LP and buy over the LP primary ticket, while all those LP top politicians who were supporting him during presidential campaigns were left in shock

Those who think Obi or Atiku would have done anything much different from what balablu is doing living in self delusion.

like i said you guys always reject positive change, so why always expecting others to be doing the right thing while most of you guys are always doing the wrong thing, at the end majority of these evil characters always determine the direction that the nation will follow, so why disturbing people that genuinely want positive change but can not effect it, because most nigerians are supportive of evil based on tribal and religious affiliations.
we are in emilokan era, but if you don't like his policies , be courageous enough to confront him, instead of looking for scapegoat to confront.
Re: Peter Obi Defends Purchase Of ₦‎160 Million SUV For LP Lawmakers by Ventura1: 1:39pm On Nov 08, 2023
They should have sold those SUVs, and disbursed the funds to setup businesses for needy "Obidients" that are ready to venture into "Production"

Re: Peter Obi Defends Purchase Of ₦‎160 Million SUV For LP Lawmakers by Originalsly: 1:45pm On Nov 08, 2023
What is he really saying ? I heard that the cars are official cars ....? As an opposition leader he should be responding with facts and not hearsay. From what he is saying ...he has no problem with this.

Let's chew on this ....
The cars are official cars that belong to the office and are not personal vehicles. This is fine.

The cars are to be used by the LPs . This is where the problem is.

Official vehicles should be for official use only

As it is ... the official an use the car whenever he likes ... go to oarties... weddings etc. We even saw Buhari's daughter using the Presidential plane to go somewhere.
With the bad roads etc I have no problem with them acquiring such vehicles (but not in these foreign scarcity times) .... butnthe policy needs to change. There should be a limit ... like every 12 years the fleet can be changed ... the outgoing ones sold at public auction. As it is.... ones leaves office with the car assigned to the office ... it is then theybforget the cars were official and not personal cars.

look, in Nigeria a lot of things don't make sense, for your president to have signed out such spending while asking Nigerians to tighten their belts because of the economic crunch, doesn't make sense.
for the lawmakers to have requested such huge spending in the midst of economic crunch doesn't make sense.
for Nigerians to have kept quiet while their scarce resources is being squaredered by politicians, only to be looking in the direction of Obi's camp to criticize for what they have accepted by not opposing it, doesn't make sense.
so we are basically in a period that doesn't make sense in the history of our nation.

Obidients miscreants will accept this weak defence because it's coming from Peter Obi.
Why not? He's a reasonable man.

Tinubu is a Thief which you and i already knows.
Re: Peter Obi Defends Purchase Of ₦‎160 Million SUV For LP Lawmakers by nairalanda1(m): 2:02pm On Nov 08, 2023
LP, PDP and APC are the same, and have always been the same.

See how Obidients here are defending their master, just like the way APC supporters defended tinubu on well everything.

Nalraland get too many hypocrites. And all they care about is their side winning. Disagree with PDP supproters, you are an LP or APC supporter and vice versa.

Anyway, looks like LP is not ready to change Nigeria.

Obi and Tinubu and Atiku are the same. Until I hear Obi say that it was wrong to buy the cars, and that LP members should categorically reject the cars, my opinion remains the same.

LOL...never ever trust a Nigerian politican.
