Lol, how does this mean endorsement, you quoted 3 lines from everything he said, this is bad journalism.

Na mumu dey believe say Obi different from other Nigerian politicians.

muykem:
Obidients miscreants will accept this weak defence because it's coming from Peter Obi.

You people are mad, same Obi that said in his press conference live that they already had cars hence no need for the SUV
S will suddenly turn around to say this. Shameless people...no wonder mod pushed it to front page

Dey play. Did PO not buy 54 cars for traditional rulers when he was a governor? Are they official vehicles too?

loswhite:
So let's assume you work in Accessbank..lol. Access bank has an SUV for your office....lol. You say you will reject to use the company official car and then drive your own car...lol ok. So what will happen to the official car? It will not be returned in the first place. It will be parked there after all is officially for the office of the senate abi? So what impact or difference have you made? You guys should go and sleep

You are the one sleeping o. Access bank is a private entity and you want to be comparing it with government that is for everyone?

Wake up first.

Cmanforall:


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 past 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

All naija politicians na scam o but what I won’t allow is the holier than thou attitude of some.

Calitoscassius:
Correct, as it appears it is business as ussual. So APC, PDP and LP are all the same.

We need a genuine voice in the country and it’s not in the top three parties.

Majority of the top three parties fielded candidates that were hunting for tickets so that when they eventually get there, their stomach infrastructure bills will be footed by every other person except themselves.

Social media president of obidots from Agulu has spoken. Weldone sir

Nigerian 2023 presidential elections be like

1.uneducated thief(drug dealer)

2.educated thief

3.another educated thief(Pandora Papers Specials)

Obidients be like "plz plz vote him he's not as bad as the other thieves, see he pretends not to be a thief so he's cool)

Labor Party legislators should have rejected the vehicles. There's really no excuse.

Good Luck to Nigeria.

ajailer:

Since it is for everyone go enter Aso rock go Govern....lol

christejames:
How is this defending biko, our brown envelope journalists?


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?

Since it is official use, is it still not a wastage? Why not ask for cheaper cars and especially made in Naija? And what happened to the previus ones? If Obi wasn't defending their action, pls tell, what was he doing?

Naija always look for ways to support theirs instead of staying on the path of truth. Reason the country will hardly improve.

Djele:
Lies, obi only said that if he was in power he wouldn't have approved it cos all the members have their own cars.

so the legislators will be under Obi as President, is the President the approving authority for National Assembling expenses? Already these things have been budgeted for. What we can do as citizens is to stage a massive protest in Abuja and other cities of the country, but instead we are online complaining. Our docility is what our elected officials are taking advantage of

hkidola00:
nothing ooo..but i think electricity has improved significantly...what of your side

electricity has not improved in my zone, infact recently PHCN was apologizing to us , asking us to be patient with them, that they will soon normalize power supply.
always, promise, promise, promise and nothing but promises .
as for subsidy removal parliatives, that's just audio stories.

yarimo:
Mumu man as if the national assembly ever said the cars are personal not officials .

Peter OBI is not intelligent.
Funny enough,when he is saying rubbish his mumu followers will still be hailing him.


The thing tire me.
One even said he was not trying to defend them,so,what was he doing?

aylive02:
. Àgbàdo miscreant, how much is petrol in your area?

Agbado-phobe,is your brain working at all?...check the topic of the thread and check its relevance to your comment

dapsoneh:
I have always said this that this guy has no clues. Who is arguing about whether its a personal car or official car? The bone of contention has always been why go for SUV of 160million naira when the country is currently experiencing economic downturn? So because LP memebers are involved now, he could not condemn buying 160million naira SUV instead of going for Nigerian made vehicles at cheaper rates
If you trust or believ any politician, you are OYO
We all know the drill, he has to defend where his food is coming from, afterall, all those LP senators will give him part of their monthly salary and allowances

Only fool see Peter OBI as an intelligent smart someone.

From all his responses to questions on Arise TV you can deduce that the guy was just packaged with some of his past populist speeches

Obiedun:
Obi himself is corrupt

True but at least your statement, when you say “himself” hints that someone else you are defending is also corrupt.

Obi na scam. It is official car therefore they must use it!
Nigeria truly truly dodged a bullet.

The SUV is not my problem, my problem is that i now buy a loaf of family size bread for N1,600, bread i use to buy for N650.

When is he going to implement the stretegy he used to build Lagos oooo?

BurntDodo:

I am not defending corruption

nairalanda1:
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.

If you have to wait for OBI to condemn this to know he is also crook then you are worse than all those Hypochrites you condemned.


There is nothing OBI supporters have accused other politicians of that OBI has not done from jumping from one party to the other,bribing delegates,investing state money in your bank of interest,Going abroad for medical tourism and surgery,not conducting LG ELECTIONs,associating with those his supporters called Thieves like Atiku to extent of being his VP to vote buying.

Bro....you yourself should stop being an Hypochrite

Completely new set of politicians, not the same o'l crooks. Jumping from LP, PdP to APC and vis versa. even if Obi had being president he still have to work with the same APC or PDP candidates who won their seats. Fresh new politicians is what Naigeria needs as long as the old crooks are still there they d corrupt the few good new ones, which is what they have done with the sharing of these SUVs .

smileyoo:
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.

This is not about Obi or Atiku or Tinubu.

YOU 🫵 are the one making it personal.

What doesn't make sense in East shouldn't make sense in the West.

YOU 🫵 are the one trying to exonerate Obi. Now that it is obvious he is exactly like all the others and nkt a Saint.

That's pathetic.

Some journalist don't deserve to be journalists. How is what he said in anyway a defense?

Personally I have condemmed Tinubu for buying yatch and cars, and so forth, because, as I have said, we don't have the money. Nigeria is broke right now.

But at the end, the oppositon must come to equity with clean hands, and APC too has to clean its act up.

Anyway, never trust a Nigerian politican

YesDaddy1:
Gentleman, word nor sweet for ya mouth.
If only you know d leverage the express rejection of the cars by obi, LP and d Lp lawmakers would've generated for u lots.

This same obi is yet to see anything wrong with Igbos, who he has made everyone realize that he 'lives with them', and they are his 'blodas'.

This same obi supported the currency withdrawal policy of emefiele despite the harse injury it was causing Nigerians, just bcus of politics.

Day by day u guys are exposing yourselves as hyppcrotical no do-gooders.
Una don cast!

Una don win election already, why are you guys still obsessed with OBI? Is such behaviour normal?

OBI isn't a member of the NASS so he's not in any position to reject anything given to NASS members. He only stated his own part that if he were president, he wouldnt approve such insensitive and frivolous expense especially at a terrible time like this. You guys should feel free to keep supporting nonsense because you feel your punishing OBI and Obidients; keep defending the profligacy of the goverment while you and your family suffers the poverty. Hope you have hailed the purchase of presidential yatch today? Na OBI you dey punish!

Regarding IPOB, anybody robbing or kidnapping or molesting or murdering or terrorising people on the streets is a CRIMINAL, whether they are IPob or herdsmen or bandit or anything at all. OBI has since condemned all manner of criminality perpetrated by people under the guise of anything they claim, be it Ipob or whatever. If anyone doesnt have the brains to comprehend that, then that can't be OBI's fault. Also if you're waiting for OBI to pick a picture of Kanu and insult him before you realise that he has condemned the criminality, then you're wasting your time.

Roboto11:


He would never approve what legislators, a separate arm of government agreed on?



You've got jokes.

The president is still the one who approves the budget of the NASS (you guys arent half as smart as you think you are). OBI when he was governor blocked the Anambra HOA several times from making similar frivolous expenses; reason why the rogues tried to impeach him twice for preventing them from sharing money.

If you really think a serious minded and focused president cannot prevent the NASS from engaging in their usual cash bazaar, then the joke is clearly on you.

Feel free to keep defending reckless extravagance all because you think you're punishing OBI and Obidients!
