LEAKED! Why Buhari rejected N400m cars
In keeping to his promise and commitment to be prudent in the management of national resources, and to fight against corruption, the President of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari said that, he is not going to buy a new set of cars for his use, but rather he will continue to make use of the cars the past administration left.
The President made this known when he rejected the proposal presented to him, to approve the purchase of five customized armoured cars worth N400 million. According to the President, the cars left by Jonathan’s administration are good enough for him and he does not new any new car.
However, a reliable source revealed that, the same proposal has been presented to the former President, President Goodluck Jonathan towards the end of his tenure, but he advised that the proposal should wait for Buhari, since he (Jonathan) would not be in the office, when the cars would be delivered.
It would be recalled that, when Buhari (as President -elect), visited the United Kingdom in May,he rejected the exotic cars made available for his use by the Nigerian High Commission, he also turned down the Rolls Royce offered him at Heathrow Airport, he maintained that, since is visitation was purely personal, he had already made all the necessary arrangements for all his needs.
Meanwhile, the President, while receiving briefings from the Permanent Secretary (State House), Mr. Nebolisa Emodi,
however approved the plan to reduce the operating costs of the State House and strengthen its Finance and Accounts Internal Control Mechanisms. He also asked Mr. Emodi to capture all State House expenses within the approved budget, to avoid the frequent recourse to “Presidential intervention funds,” as it was in the last administration.
