The recent expenditure of N60 billion for the purchase of SUV vehicles for about 400 legislators is a continuation of the troubling trend in our nation today.

We have continued to abandon the critical areas of development measurement while expending scarce resources on needless luxury and creating comforts for those elected to serve the people.

Our primary healthcare, which is the foundation of health, a critical development index measure, has collapsed, leading to our surpassing India, a country 7 times our population, in infant mortality, a very saddening situation.

To allocate such a huge amount, which is more than what we allocated to our primary health care, is nothing but troubling. One third of that amount, with proper negotiation, would have given them locally manufactured SUV vehicles from Innoson Motors, PAN or any local auto assembly plant, to help boost our economy and create and retain jobs.


Upon my being sworn in as the then Governor of Anambra State, I observed that our State High Court Judges, State Government Permanent Secretaries and newly appointed State Commissioners had no vehicles.

Anambra State Government had then ordered for two bullet proof SUV vehicles for my use. I cancelled the order and used the same money to negotiate a concessionary pricing with Peugeot Automobiles to supply us Sixty 406 vehicles which were enough for all the cabinet members including myself and my deputy governor. We used the vehicles for our first tenure and were able to commence the work of doing more in the areas of health, education and lifting people out of poverty.

Nobody would contemplate this kind of expenditure under my administration. I urge all involved to depart from this path of wastage of public resources.

A more prudent and transparent Nigeria is possible. -PO

Peter Obi

After telling us all that it doesn't mean anything since it is official vehicle not personal belonging, the guy is now trying to cover up after guffing. Peter Obi, we know you are not that smart. So, don't worry.

Peter Obi thinks everyone has a disconnected brain cells like his Obidents mob.

This man has no sense

Same way they ran Lagos that today it is the most indebted state in Africa

Peter Obi will NEVER be President...

Peter Obi is an exceptional human being. I can’t even believe a man like him joined Nigeria politics Nobody have ever inspired me more than Peter Obi. He took Labor party from obscurity to national limelight within six months and never spent shishi, or government funds or donation, something no Nigerian living or dead had ever done! I sometimes go back to his speeches and play it most of the time. I have his potriat in my house. The man is a genius and would have made a big change in this 6 months the incompetent mandate thief is wandering around like a lost baby…a new Nigeria is possible with Peter Obi

Obi the mad man liar.

Below is when he distributed exotic cars to traditional rulers in Anambra.

By the way, how will the executive stop legislatures from buying their official car? Shey Obi don’t know the difference between executive and legislature ni?

I don’t know why he lies with such level of confidence. Do A when he was governor then portray himself as C.

If left to Obi, he would have said all political appointees should eat one times a day so as to portray some false care for the masses.

Peter Obi was impeached in Anambra partly because he refused to allow frivolous expenditures during his administration. He fought and got his mandate back

My president

Kukutente23:

Weak and senseless direction of thoughts. Which way is same way in this discussion now? The same Lagos that others wish to be like?

You own mumu never do. Same Obi dashing everybody exotic cars during his tenure abi another one?

—Traditional leaders enjoyed his bonanza
—House of assembly enjoyed his bonanza
—Senators enjoyed his bonanza
—Even judges enjoyed his car bonanza.

Obi will soon come out and say he willingly desisted from bleeping his wife when he was governor because he is trying to conserve sperm coz one report from China already said Anambra is running out of sperm. That’s how delusional that man is.

Peter Obi will disrupt the corrupt empire built around Aso rock that prevents a lot of promising young people like you from getting good jobs, rather only being used as nairaland e-warriors

Peter Obi

I am in consonance with Obi here. No responsible government should have signed up to such extravagant spending at a time when the governed are facing so much economic hardship. It is the height of insensitivity and cannot be justified by anyone reposed with good conscience.

socialmediaman:

Is that why he then bought hundreds of exotic cars and dashed anyone that cared to collect so they can reelect him for a second term?

Gibberish. He will only appeal to the headless mobs.

He has nothing valuable to contribute to the discussion or decisions on governance.

If Peter Obi becomes president, politicians won’t be using you as a nairaland e-warrior, he’ll work for a better future for you and millions of other Nigerians

This Agulu fraud star is a pathetic liar

You see the consequences of going to pluck mango in the bush while government classes were going on?
So the President approves legislative arms budget?
If you can provide a link where I can read more on how the executive approves (as against propose) any budget of any kind, I'd be happy to learn. Thanks.

YES! TALK!
And keep talking when something is not right.
That is what we expect of you, Mr Peter Obi.

Don't give this fraudulent administration any breathing space.

This man is not sincere, did you stop law makers in Anambra from buying vehicles of their choice when he was governor

Lamba like this lying Agulu result. Check my signature for free stuffs!

Liar. Then you will be impeached simple. By then you will understand the power of the legislative branch of government

Sure that's why Nigerians voted you. unfortunately the man that was not voted happens to be a criminal and he stole the mandate. Now he's punishing everyone for not preferring him

He ensured only criminaly minded individuals stayed in decision making positions. From Akpabio to Gbaja (the US convict)

Then paid a few hungry and jobless people to be on social media and nairaland defending their criminality. People willing to sale their generation for a morsel of bread

Dey play...
