Obi himself is corrupt
All politicians are corrupt, but they're some who doesn't care if you die or live, theirs is just for you to till the soil and pay keep paying tax with it.

If they need car for official duties LP members should go for cheaper cars to show that they are different from the others

How is this defending biko, our brown envelope journalists? undecided


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? undecided

even if the LP lawmakers rejected their own cars, will the masses benefit from the returned proceeds ?
the answer is a big NO.
let them reject the cars and they would've have created an history, maybe that will be a turning point.

If you are angry and critical for LB members accepting the car, why not also vent and talk against APC and Tinubu admistration who approved it.?

Do you even understand d amount of leverage it would have given LP if the LP members in NASS reject the cars??

As for obi, sane Nigerians already know he's a packaged fraud (gbajue). He is yet to find fault with Igbos, so his refusal to expressly condemn his party members receiving the cars is not a surprise.
cool

You have a valid point.
ajailer:
If truly LP is the change Nigeria needs then the right thing should be all LP lawmakers rejecting the SUV that will be given them, by doing this, we will know they are truly the game changers and they care for a betterment of the masses but if they do otherwise then LP Na lamba party.

That excuse Obi dey give na normal naija yahoo politician format. You dey condemn the presidency for wasteful spending, shey dem tell u say d cars wey dem budget for the presidency na their personal cars?

I disagree with HE Obi.

The purchase of the SUvs in Nigeria's present day is nothing but PROFLIGACY.

What then is the difference between Obi and other politicians?

They sell the old cars to themselves at a giveaway.

So, the 160 million Naira car may be sold at 3 million after 4 years, with the senator having right of first refusal.

I'm more amazed the media has finally joined the 21st century and started using the term SUV's instead of the generic term jeep 🚙 to describe those type of vehicles. 😆

I am so happy Obi has hinted that he will be contesting again in 2027 as that will give Nigerians another uportunity to disgrace him at the polls once again.

Obi's monumental disgrace at the polls in the February 25 elections was so sweet that I wish he could keep on being disgraced over and over again.

This is exactly how you will be defending his failure if he was the president while the Batist would turn the "wailers". I don't expect someone who couldn't develop Anambra in 8yrs to do any magic if giving the presidential post. It is far more complex being the president than the governor. Let go and rest, he miscalculated when he harlotly left PDP.
He would have stayed with Atiku knowing fully well that he only has a tenure to run based on the constitution. With this he is not likely going to be the president in his life time because LP will eventually expurgate him from their party

The Abure faction of LP which Peter Obi aligns with is a collection of fraudsters, 419s, hate filled persons who when given a chance are ready to destroy the country because Obi could not win the election to become the president. They have being planning how to share the largesse of the ruling party even before the elections. We are just lucky that they failed absolutely. We now know them better. Thank you Jesus.
