Budget reflects intent. Why budget what you don't plan to spend? Show proof it was not spent.

an 'exotic dealer' told u??.....a highly professional dealer wouldn't leak such info inorder not to lose customers.

Nigerian government isn't that dumb to purchase presidential car from a dealer, instead they will purchase it from the company directly

Reading and comprehension is fundamental. The post never said he purchased from a car dealer.

I hope you know this is the first time the president is buying a new car as the president? been using the old ones for 4 years now.

it is not out of place for the president to use a vehicle worth N280m or higher... he is the president & fact remains that Nigeria is quite unsafe...


however, when the leader keeps shouting on how prudent he is, how simple he is, how others are wasteful because they want good things & other issues that give the impression that he is a humble man, then such expenses can be called into question because it is at variance with the man's self stated ideals...


a bullet proof Peugeot or Innoson vehicle would have been a better choice for a man who continually preaches simplicity & using home grown/made resources...

Jimoh is a private businessman. If buhari wants like jimohs rolls Royce, he can use his salary to buy it just like jimoh did. Saying cos jimoh has an expensive car then buhari must have one too, doesn't follow when u consider were d money 4d car comes from

He should keep using a more than 6 years old presidential car? are you people serious for once? previous presidents changed vehicles almost every year. you just can't please those who are ready never to see anything good in what you do.

Even people that aren't president change their cars almost every year. Maybe you should also tell him not to change his clothes too.

should he continue with the vehicle he inherited from GEJ for another four years?

What is wrong with him continuing to use it?
After all, he had N30m in 2015 and in 2019 it's still that same N30m that he is having according to his assets declaration.

References:
President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday appeared in a new 2019 Mercedes-Maybach s650 bullet-proof car, which an expert says it is worth at least N280million.

In 2018 budget, N907m was earmarked by Mr Buhari for a phased acquisition of new vehicles and spare parts in the presidential fleet during the year, while in 2019 budget the president set aside N843 million for purchase and maintenance of motor vehicles for the year.

An online newspaper earlier on Wednesday put the price of the car, which they erroneously described as 2019 Mercedes-Benz S-Class S 560, at $170,000 (N61million).

But an exotic car dealer who had previously supplied vehicles to the presidency spoke to DAILY NIGERIAN on the condition of anonymity, saying the car is 2019 Mercedes-Maybach S650 bullet-proof.

According to him, if the car is factory armoured, it could cost up to $1million (N360million) as it is not a base model. “Even if the treatment (installation of bullet-proof glasses/panels) is done in the aftermarket, the price for a customised version like that will be around $800,000,” said the expert.

“In the aftermarket, the cost of installing bullet-proof for that type of vehicle is around N80m. These kind of vehicles are insanely expensive. Even the wheels alone can cost up to $30,000 each.”

He told DAILY NIGERIAN that an order for a new Mercedes-Maybach S-Class was placed by former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015 at the cost of $280million after some defects were detected in the armour of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz s600 he was using.

“If the price at that time was N280m, how much do you think it will cost today, considering the prevailing exchange rate?”

He said with Mr Buhari’s appearance in the new vehicle, it is apparent the president had dropped the defective 2014 Mercedes Benz s600 bequeathed to him by Mr Jonathan.

The expert however said it is unclear whether the order was cancelled or a fresh one was made by Mr Buhari, who initially insisted on using it despite the defect.

According to him, when Mr Buhari was first sworn-in as president in 2015, he placed embargo on purchase of new vehicles for the presidential fleet. “The embargo had to be lifted because of the vehicles inherited are either not mechanically sound or had issues with their security,” said the source.

He added the presidency also purchased a new bullet-proof BMW 7 Series to complement the president’s staff car.

According to a review by caranddriver.com, the 2019 Maybach S-class cars have 621-hp twin-turbo 6.0-liter V-12 engine, which provides “effortless motivation”.

“They are best enjoyed from the rear seat, where passengers can stretch out and relax on hot-stone-style massaging leather recliners and enjoy the Burmester audio system while an atomizer fills the cabin with one of Maybach’s five signature fragrances,” a review by Drew Dorian of Buyer’s Guide said.

“The Maybach models ride on a wheelbase that’s 7.9 inches longer than the Benz-branded S-class cars and nearly all of that extra length is dedicated to the rear seat to create an extra-spacious environment. That’s not to say that the front seat isn’t luxurious.

“The driver and front-seat passenger are treated to most of the same luxuries—including the massaging seats—and the dashboard’s dual 12.3-inch digital displays provide access to the car’s infotainment system.

“A host of driver-assistance features are available including an adaptive-cruise-control system that uses navigational data to slow the car down in preparation for corners and an automatic lane-change feature that watches for gaps in traffic and merges the S-class when it’s safe to do so.”

The fact that you but budgeted it means you intend to spend that much or even more on the acquisition of vehicles.

The motive or intention is primarily the reason we insist that he is a pretender and corrupt soul too.

D question I asked u is simple; is d car spoilt? Yes or no? If d car isn't spoilt, what is wrong in using it? How many places does d president drive to in a day? People that change their cars every year, where do they drive to everyday with their cars? How many kilometers has d presidents car done to warrant changing? If u have to justify buharis actions by d mistakes of past presidents, then u clearly saying he isnt better than them.

Pls answer d few questions I asked
