Update On Stella Oduah's N255m Carscandal by bladegirl7: 11:58am On Oct 19, 2013 |

Under President Olusegun Obasanjo, the most senior police officer, IGP Tafa Balogun, was prosecuted for his involvement in corrupt practice and convicted. A Senate President and some Serving Ministers found to be corrupt also faced the same fate, .Com observed. But these days, once you are close to President Jonathan or his wife, you have a blank cheque to spend our money anyhow and the presidency will even defend you. Below are updates on the N255m cars: While millions of Nigerians are calling for the sack of the Aviation Minister, Stella Oduah, the government is, in his usual characteristics, singing a very different tone. As you read this, the government has begun a manhunt for the whistleblower that broke the story of the two BMW armoured cars bought for Ms. Stella Oduah at a ridiculous price of N255m. The Director-General, NCAA, Capt. Fola Akinkuotu, disclosed this at a press conference at the head office Ministry in Abuja on Friday. In the words of the Director-General: “I am not saying that this particular information should not be put in the public domain. But how it was obtained is the concern... So we are in the process of trying to find the source of this leakage and I am very concerned about it. "Because this information may look trivial but there are other information that we have that are confidential and it is only fair for us to respect the confidentiality of information. I am not saying that they broke into our office, but they obtained the information illegally.” The visibly terrified Director-General claimed that "Coscharis, as far as I understand, is about the only guy that sells BMW of this nature in Nigeria. If he is the only one selling, then you must buy from him if you want the car and he can name the price. So those are factors that may have resulted [in the N255mprice]. But mind you, I am not holding brief for this.” Meanwhile, Nigerians have continued to express their dissatisfaction with the agency’s action. The External Relations Manager for most automobile firms including CFAO Motors, Dr. Oscar Odiboh, said the price of the two cars is outrageous. He described it as an embarrassment to those operating Nigeria’s automobile industry. “It dents the image of the automobile industry because we are being branded as people who fix ridiculous prices for their products,” he said. Also, the President of Aviation Roundtable, Captain Dele Ore, said that the prices quoted for the 2 armoured vehicles are over inflated. He said, “By the information that I have at my disposal, I can categorically say that a single armoured vehicle cannot be more expensive than N40m. The amount of N225m which was quoted as the prices of the vehicles was definitely outrageous . Meanwhile, the life of the man who leaked the story to Nigerians is under threat as they are hunting for him: source : http://www..com |

All your references keep telling us how inflated the prices are without telling us the real price. Nice. Here is some information for you. Dino Melaya and Sahara Reporters have been peddling falsehood about the Cars bought by the Minister of Aviation. I checked the price of the vehicles and realized that BMW Security Vehicles only provide used vehicle prices on their website. Brochures for new one can only be downloaded on request. A Used 2006 BMW 760 Li High Security costs €175,000.00 or $239,000.00 Check the BMW link for pre-owned vehicles below http://www.bmw-security-vehicles.com/security_vehicles/en/_teaserpool_2010/download/shared/pdf/offer_7series_2006.pdf at €175,000 Euros, which is $240,000.00 If the used vehicle cost $240,000.00 dollars, how can Sahara and Dino Melaya claim the new vehicles bought by the Minister of Aviation can be bought for $200,000.00 Who is lying profusely now to deceive the public. Or let me guess, they could not decipher the difference between a used car and new vehicle. Please stop peddling lies that you cannot substantiate! |
