Peter Obi: Politicians Who Move In Large Convoys Are Not Responsible by EBMedia: 1:06pm On Feb 23, 2020 |
IgbereTV reports that the former governor of Anambra state and vice presidential candidate of the PDP in 2019, Mr. Peter Obi, has criticised Nigerian politicians who move around in large convoys, saying that they are not responsible, while attributing the practice to the high level of insecurity in the country which these politicians have failed to tackle. The former governor said this while speaking at the 8th Convocation of Veritas University in Abuja on Saturday where he was the keynote speaker. The former governor recounted how during his tenure as governor, he moved with a convoy of 22 cars until he discovered that 13 carried no official. He said, “We have to be innovative in politics. We have to get the right people who are prepared to save this country. We are in a bad situation. I am in a bad situation. Anybody who tells you that we are doing well is lying. I live in fear every day. “The insecurity is totally unacceptable. One of the greatest cures for insecurity is to get people employed. Let us shut down the cost of governance. “You see big people going round with 15 or 20 vehicles and causing confusion all over the place and disturbing public peace and everybody with his own big title." “If I was coming here with 20 policemen, to Nigerians, that shows I am ‘Your Excellency’. That is irresponsibility; it doesn’t happen anywhere in the world. “There is no place in the world that I have seen where one man moves around with 22 vehicles. It is madness. I used it as a governor. You will not believe it. I used it as a governor until I asked to find out one day how many of the cars people were occupying, and about 13 of the cars were empty." http://igberetvnews.com/1340216/peter-obi-politicians-move-large-convoys-responsible/ 1 Like

Many who don't move in big convoys, have accounts likened to big convoys. So what's your daft point? |

Trust these politicians at your peril. So Peter Obi can start telling us about the irrelevance of convoy, yet he stashed #250million in his convoy in 2009 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() http://www.premiumtimesng.com/regional/ssouth-east/147056-apc-tasks-police-boss-n250-million-allegedly-found-anambra-governors-convoy.html |

![]() this one is a fool jare always yarning dust, with all his noise about Anambra he still resides in Ikoyi Lagos where governors work and not talk... the only time Governors move around in convoys is during state functions which require them to go to the field or construction site with various commissioners (works , finance and Media) Aides and their seciurity details.. Lets say Makinde decided to stop being an Audio governor and decides to build a bridge in Ibadan, Saki, Ogbomosho or Oyo town. the Comm for Works and the Perm Sec would assess the site, and give the Governor a contract proposal which the Governor forwards to Min of Fin in other to include it in the next budget being sent to the State Assembly, should it get passed, the Min of Information makes publication of the Contract to interested contractors ... Now when all due process had being done and the contract reaches first phase, do you expect only the Governor to go for inspection without members of the House of assembly, the Commissioners involved, Press Crew and security details for all? or are they going to cramp into one car because Peter Obi the greedy and stingy guy said so . |
