The FG must have look at these models belonging to South Africa’s 3 “First Ladies” in their decision. Notice the BMW jeep?
Information has it that the ongoing African First Ladies Summit may
be costing Nigeria government the host nation billions of naira as the Federal Government
began delivery of 200 exotics cars. The cars are for use during the 7th
African First Ladies for Peace Mission (AFLPM) summit scheduled for 24
to 27 July in Abuja. Already, African first ladies have begun arriving
in the country since weekend for the four-day event.
First Lady Patience Jonathan
is the convener of the event, with the theme “The African Woman: A
Voice for Peace,” which is expected to be attended by spouses of African
leaders.
According to sources, the cars comprise 80 units of BMW X3 and X5
series with a market value of N13.5 million each, while the remaining
120 are exotic models of Honda, Jaguar and others.
It has been gathered that the vehicles were supplied by Coscharis
Motors, and 180 units had already been delivered to the Presidential
Villa in Abuja as at Saturday. The transaction for the 200 cars was
alleged to have been processed by the office of the Minister of State
for Finance. However, attempts to seek explanation from the office were
not successful as a spokesman declined comment while the minister of
state, Dr. Yerima Ngama, did not answer calls to his phone on Monday.
