Buhari Still Uses Jonathan’s Old Cars by Suurulere(op): 2:21pm On May 04, 2018
A closer look shows that the black Mercedes Benz Maybach is old, the colour is devoid of any sheen and there are scratches at the back bumper. Even the tyres appear to have seen better days. NAN.ng learnt President Buhari has refused to change the fleet he inherited from his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan, since 2015.

In 2016, the president, who had cut his salary by 50 per cent, struck out a move to spend N400 million on new cars for him. The money was to be used to buy five new armoured Mercedes Benz S-600 (V222) cars.

President believes the cars passed on to him, can still last another 10 years, thus helping the nation conserve scarce funds. No wonder, the Buhari government, as Vice President Osinbajo has said repeatedly, is doing much more with the nation’s financial resources, despite the declining income. This is in sharp contrast with the profligate Jonathan years, when oil at a stage was selling at $140 a barrel and the nation became poorer for it.

If Buhari cannot put a 5 year old S Guard Mercedes in good shape despite all the large maintenance budget available then how do you guys even expect him to fix the Nation... in just less than 3 years Buhari has reduced the presidential S guards from one of the neatest and most pristine S classes in Africa to a shabby dull looking car with scratches every where ...The poor state of the presidential ride under Buhari says a lot about how everything Buhari touches must just rot .

You must always have something to say. The NASS replaced all their new cars with brand new ones, now we have a president that decided to conserve some money and still use what was handed over to him by his predecessors and you still have something negative to say about that.

Further findings reveal that while Buhari allegedly refused the said cars, they were still bought

Images below show his and Jonathan's vehicles...

So he kept both...

Do you ever believe anything? Do you believe in God? Do you believe that the man you call daddy is truly your biological father? You are worse than Thomas. Buhari is not a spend drift prodigal son like the drunk fisherman with fake PhD from Otuoke who is married to an illiterate grammarian cantankerous sheppopo.

Oga, thats not a Maybach oo! Its only in the same class model as the Maybach. Maybachs are the luxury arm of Mercedes Benz and usually carry the 'MM' logo. smiley

BREAKING NEWS !!! Buhari ruling over the same country in West Africa Jonathan left behind... Rétarded bloggers


When you see a particular story popping up around different blogsites in Nigeria, just know FG sponsored BMC zombies are trying to change narrative or divert attention from something eg, Buhari was disgraced out of London by angry Nigerians or Buhari skipped town and went to London instead of coming straight to Nigeria from Washington..

Why not blame the maintenance crew guys?
That's none of Buhari's doing.

Our mumu don do, all these useless gimmicks won't work again!

You use GEJ's cars but spend over 100 times the value of the cars on health care for yourself and immediately household overseas.

Are you mad? *In Lasisi Elenu's voice*

Of course it isn't Buhari's fault. Nothing is ever his fault. He is never responsible for anything.
That you have to ask me to blame the maintenance crew for the poor state of the car he uses himself shows how retarded and inept he's. Des he not see the car?
Does he not see the car is dirty and unkept?

If he can't maintain something as simple as a car, then how does he maintain a complex and complicated machine called Nigeria?

Little wonder Nigeria under him is in very bad shape.
Re: Buhari Still Uses Jonathan’s Old Cars by Bodexman(m): 2:22am On May 05, 2018
Let's remove sentiments, Buhari is very modest. He's not the extravagant and wasteful type of leader.

I hope it continues like this so that we can save a lot of money and use it for other meaningful purposes
