Fielding questions from State House Correspondents after the Federal Executive Council meeting chaired by President Buhari, the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, said it was not the first time Nigeria is supporting her neighbours.
She argued that the President had a responsibility to make such decisions “in the best interests of the country”. A report published on Wednesday by Sahara Reporters in June revealed that the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , approved N1.15bn to purchase 10 Toyota Land Cruiser V8 vehicles for the Nigerien government.
The record which was sourced from the ‘appropriations’ page of the Ministry’s website showed that in July 2022, N1,145,000,000 was approved for payment to Kaura Motors Nigeria Limited to supply the SUVs.
Is it not crazy ? That a country like Nigeria in the condition Nigeria is at the moment, FG of Nigeria spending 1.4 billion naira to support Niger republic on security matter. How much is ASUU demanding for ? Above all, are we safe Nigeria ?
Niger Republic cash out ooo for the past seven years, God help Nigeria.
It's unfortunate that this culture irresponsibly will not go unpunished by the legislative arm of government.
The proverbial cock eating pebbles and dishing out grains!☹️☹️
🥸🥸🥸
Set of useless people
1b for 10 cars, or na me no read am well?
This pic is enough for the wise!
For what purpose
This country is not for you says Nigeria government Buhari and co.them use buying of cars swear for Nigeria government
This woman has always been a disgrace to this nation and her entire family at large because she is just a smooth criminal and strong quiet prostitution that is never satisfied of political strong nacking
FG defender of Corruption!Buhari give us back our Nigeria,workers haven't been paid because there is no money,Public University teachers are on strike,Resident doctors are threatening to also go on strike,the Naira is very weak,this is too much!BuhariGiveusbackourNigeria
Everything about this country crap, particularly iñstitutions that were set up to maintain flow n inflow of money... Nigeria is a laundry country... If you've watched the series Ozark,you will get my memo...it's sad that even ministers can't question the use of money by d govt.
This just confirms my argument with a friend yesterday. There's money. Enough money to pay assu so that universities can resume. The money the accountant general of the federation stole and now this? And you know what's moree annoying? SERAP These guys are just audio noisemakers
This woman reminds me daily of deiziani Allison maduike... Everytime... As a finance minister, you have the right to question the purpose of the money you are asked to send to another country, while in your country University students are at home...
This is govt that can't meet ASUU demends yet we saw AGF stolen 105b, they claim to borrow to pay salary yet buy bogus amount of car for unentitled person. Obviously the 9th rubber stamp senate does not aware this also
Are we broke? What impact have they done to us as a nation ?
There is no problem with Nigeria helping neighbouring countries but in this situation Nigeria is in, nothing enough to make doing this justifiable. Assu has been on strike on account of no fund to meet their demands as claimed, recession is all over our economy and others yet..
Please those involved should be sued immediately.... Robbing Nigeria to pay Niger Republic... Hopefully Buhari has completed the rail to Niger Republic... How sure are Nigerians that the managers of the economy are Nigerians. From inception Buhari open border for terrorism in Nig
Pathetic! Mr integrity has done it again
Why Niger every time
....and six northern Nigerians were awarded with Niger's highest national awards ......in return! Lol
APC is buying votes from Niger Republic if you don't know this today know it now! A large percentage of Niger 🇳🇪 Republic citizens have Nigeria Permanent Voter's card they always come in massively during elections to vote as Northerners.
1.4 billion to purchase cars for Niger republic and the kind of vehicles our police here in Nigeria are using as patrol vehicles don enter menopause, this government na sick joke.
No credible reason for this!
but why
So this exotic SUV are the security vehicles? Chai there was a kont3
My words, what a nation?
The south government are fooling their selves allowing this to happen.. can you imagine using your money fund everything in Niger Republic why your people suffer.....
This woman alongside all these APC government just dey steady pile up issues for their future generations, cos eh, GOD no dey sleep.
This administration is the most useless thing that ever happened to Nigeria. Funders of Jihadist and ISIS group
Crooks. Drivers are not handing an airplane. Crooks are. They can neither drive nor fly.
He who the gods want to destroy, they first make mad. Buhari and his evil cohorts are in madness stage.
Thunder
😪😭😭 what a country. Get your PVC now
Best defense
See how confused she looks as usual 😔
Ferraris will do a better job as they are faster, next time buy Ferraris.
Charity begins at home. Extending arms when her children are at home. God help our advisers.
These are the luxuious car they will use to fight insecurity will Nigerians suffer I blame the south
This APC led Federal Government is too callous and repugnant to all that we hold dear as a people
Kai. We don suffer. This people must think our grey matter is between our legs or underneath our foot to be giving such lame justification to the nation. How is the purchase of luxury SUV intended to help protect our borders. Abeg when is Benin and Cameroun getting theirs.
I believe the north want to secede from Nigeria and make niger the capital
Useless leaders
This APC led Federal Government is too callous and utterly repugnant to all that we hold dear as a people.
To empower our neighbours
Is it just me because every time I see this woman picture, the news is not always good. One form of something bad or the other.
Na only God go punish this government,and her cabinets😭😭😭🥺
Whst kind of wickedness is this na
Anyone who supports this evil act should never complain about the cost of rice & beans in the market!
This woman is the most wasteful being on the planet . She just spends anyhow with no account whatsoever.
I dont see any body that call his or her seif a nigerian i dont see such person like a human being.
I'm beginning to think the Abacha government wasn't this hopeless and heartless. I struggle to understand the purpose of the current regime in Nigeria. What exactly is the reason they took power in 2015?
E no go ever better for una.. Wicked devils
Like how?....imagine nonsense...
_screenshoter all white
It's 1.4 billion naira, you're not even the source.
And Asuu is on strike because of lack of fund.
God will judge you people
As far as I understand this is the END of APC ... No sensible Nigeria should vote the party... Imagine people are loosing business, .children Not going to school, attacks everywhere from BH and bandit. And you are justifying why they brought the SUV's
You can only deceive members of the rubber stamp NASS and not me. 2022 V8 Toyota Land Cruisers. PMB, it won't be well with you.
While our policemen use this rickety push and release vans.
The country will not cease to amused me.ASUU has been on strike, yet the government claims there is no money. Posterity would not be kind to you all as u bastardize the country
This finance minister will not escape EFCC now or hereafter
Before buhari came there was HISTORY SUBJECT in our school but he came and removed it. There is a plan for it. All of you are surprised at this but I will tell you that buhari is from Niger republic and always will it be.He has done it before.
Whatever happened to funding education with same amount as additional funding to quell the ASUU impasse.
Nonsense. We don't want these kind of people again
You all are made! 😡
U borrowed money to finance another country govt vehicle. What kind of nonsense is this.
How una no go defend
Fulani has finished us.Very incompetent people with evil agenda.I wonder why southerners want to keep holding this union with this guys.God forbid I get any PVC or advise anyone ! God forbid.This union need to be dissolved ,this irredentists have succeeded in destroying education
Don't mind them they are paying Niger Republic for lending us their son Please don't ask me who is the son.
Don't mind them they are paying Niger for borrowing us their son . please don't ask me who the son is.
They need SUVs to protect themselves?
GOD…being a Nigerian is just the ultimate punishment on this planet.
Madam Minister of Finance,honestly, Nigerians know that u are sick&tired of it all&really needs some good rest.We know. We see looking into your eyes,seeing the lack of conviction in those eyes despite all the facade. Madam Minister, but u can actually take a walk by Resigning.
This is the same APC that human is supporting? School is on strike, there is hardship in the land, unemployment is to it's highest. now this? Buhari has shown enough disdain for this country.
Am sorry but it's stupidity
Big brother Africa..... Isn't it ironic?!
YouthsForAtiku Kprasss overloaded 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
You have such a huge amount of funds, and you keep borrowing to stay afloat. It's unimaginable!
But ProfOsinbajo is a pastor!
people dey use that kind SUV to fight war? Chai! Oh Lord. Na see finish be this o. This people don't regard us at all
Wow!
Buhari is a fraud. Who will prob Buhari regime? Nigeria needs help!!!!
Yeah, the money is not needed here.... I can't rage hard enough at this nonsense...
Irresponsible leaders, carry another country matter for their head with their own for hand.
We all supporting Peter Obi to fix Nigeria so Buhari and Tinubu won't be going to London for medical treatment and Atiku won't live in Dubai,because When a mosquito lands on your testicles,You’ll realize that there is always a way to solve problems without violence. Vote for Obi
This is a dubious claim.
This extravaganza is another reason for impeachment.
Buhari people will not say anything about it but they are cool with it
What did we do to deserve this
Is there a limit to the absurdities of this regime? Whenever we think we've heard the worst about governance, these guys manage to surprise us! First, it was railway to 🇳🇪 and now, it's SUVs to be supplied obviously by a crony. Isorait, we'd survive
Waste resources
This govt takes everyone in Nigeria for a joke,how on earth will you defend sure nonsense
These people are just shameless....shameless is an understatement.
Na 🔥 of God go burn this FG! How dare you use monies meant for the development of Nigeria to purchase vehicles for Niger Republic? ASUU has been on strike for months because of money! You're borrowing monies in Our names n spending it on Niger Republic? What's going on here?
👎👎👎👎👎 Which one you dey ? Charity begins at home
This has to be the most stupid explanation ever.. Nigeria that isn’t done securing its own territories is now suddenly providing another sovereign state security funds 😂😂😂 can buhari and APC just leave so that we can probe their spendings and entire governance abeg
On what basis? Were their provisions for it in the budget? Even if 'exclusive executive power' justifies it, are there any futuristic economic or bilateral gain(s)? APC Government epitomizes failure.
How can they give 1.15bn to another nation in our budget with passing it through the national assembly for debate and approval?The buhari regime is corrupt and very nepotistic.
How I wish I have one power to kill all dis bad leaders 😏How can people be dis heartless and greedy 🤷
This woman's face always comes with bad news, imagine this horrible human as minister of finance. But how did we end up with a human as evil and vile as Buhari 🤔😭
Nigeria helping Niger in area of security is not the problem, as Nigeria has received several funds from int'l community to tackle various of its problems (though not put to proper use) but doling out such fund at a time the country is facing various challenges is questionable.
They don’t have any reason to do that…. Unless they are confirming the rumour that Buhari is from Niger republic.
Nigerians are yet to know the level of damage this unfortunate govt has caused us.
Am happy we are doing well as a nation.
But they still want us to vote for cassava and agbado.
Omg, see Wetin Tinubu carry go put for aso rock
SHAME ON APC AND ALL OF YOU, big pit for you all
You're all criminals!
Uuuuh 🙄
Now is the time to tell us other reckless expenditures. Defending rubbish
Vehicles for another country? Is Nigeria so rich? Such a generous country whose citizens are hungry
The intention was good but how u went about it was not. To me that kind of vehicle does not fit for combat,unless u want to tell us they are for office/ official use, which ofcus should be questioned.
Na their way
...so the Nigerien govt cannot afford their own abi? Una too dey lie!! I no blame una, I blame this lame and toothless 9th Assembly
Wait ooo What if BUHARI thought NIGERIAN IS THE SAME AS NIGERIEN. Boya he's not aware 😳
They can't buy their own motors ba If no be amebo dey worry FG,wetin concern them with purchasing cars for another fully grown country
still want to defend rubbish
Their shame is shaming me!!!.. Your didn't feed your children but your neighbors are feeding from your pocket and you are proud? Tueh. No be who get money dey do giveaway? Person way no get gate dey hire gateman?
If you give 1015 Nigerians seeking loans to start business this money, u don remove at least 1000 of them from poverty, as a Nigerian struggling to set up a business and can't get loan or help from anywhere, I'm very sad and depressed. 😭😭😭😭😭
I will tell my children the bitter story of Nigeria and her players from 2015-2023
Shame on Buhari's Government. So the plight of the students at home is nothing to you 🤮😩, this government is a colossal failure.
We are fighting both physical and spiritual problem in Nigeria...why is this government deliberately foolish 😩😩
When we buy exotic cars for foreigners at a time of economic hardship of this magnitude, questions will definitely be asked. Charity, it is often said, begins at home. Why not secure your home country first?
1.15bn vehicles for Niger Republic👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 what’s our business with them😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Awon werey
Wait we borrowed money to finance budget only to splash it on another country?
🤣🤣🤣with funds u borrowed in Nigerians name, shame
From your speech madam, it shows clearly that you weren't comfortable with Mr MBuhari decision on the matter but you don't have a choice.
Which kind country we dey so? 🤷
Kwaraption.... From top to the bottom.
Let Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu come and slap Nigerians again. They have said we, Nigerians aren't grateful to Buhari. Maybe they will now tell us to say thank you to Buhari for using Nigeria Money to develop Niger Republic. But why Buhari's huge interest in Niger Republic?
If you are blaming ASUU you won't know peace just imagine. 1.15bn kilode
Nigeria is finished, we’re now funding a foreign government while our people are dying with hunger in Nigeria 🇳🇬
Obviously is not Nigerians running Nigeria government from every indication
If not for DavidHundeyin, we wouldn't have heard it. There are lots of skeletons in Aso cupboards.
pikaso_me screenshot this for me
Purchasing vehicles for Niger Republic but our prisons cannot be provided with CCTV cameras. What a government?
Protect their territory with V8 Land Cruiser Luxury SUV while universities have been shut down for months. You people are just deeply wicked and heartless.
100 million of one car
sai baba
And it's land cruisers they use in securing our borders.
I can now correctly confirm that Nnamdi Kalu was right that Jubril is the president of Nigeria
And the common man get only one square meal a day or even none... God go judge una
This news must be fake or FG is mad
FG giving we the citizen middle finger..
Wait, its not fake news My God!
The National Assembly gave approval to that? Nigerians, your leaders are wicked.
So you people borrowed money to buy Luxury cars for another country to fight insecurity. Does this even sound well to defend?
That’s a global best practices and nothing wrong.
Thunder fire Buhari, this government, and everyone supporting it.
Better resolve EndASUUStrike in a month or the youths are coming for FG workers endsars greedy useless people nigeria
We thought baba was joking when he said Nigeria from top to bottom. In his recent interview he said make nobody call him once his tenure is over, the record is Thier. I will forgive baba but u see bat I will never forgive him for give us baba
God abeg, who did this to us. Tell me why ASUU will call off the strike. So this kind money dey. DavidHundeyin thank you for bringing this to our notice. Our elders in journalism will not see this but will come online to rant nonsense
May they al be cursed... Everyone who approved the deal. All of the enemies of Nigeria who are in government. May God heap hot fire on their heads and their descendants to the 10th generation. ASUU is on strike and they are buying cars for another country! Buhari Allah Ya Isa.
I'm just short of words
Credit DavidHundeyin
Can you seriously imagine this clown of an attitude?
Why do I feel this woman’s financial misconduct will be louder than Diezani. Just a matter of time.
Criminals,looters, killers, that's what APC have in numbers
Donating N1.15bn vehicles to a neighbouring country at the expense of our decaying universities and workers is not only unacceptable but evil. It only shows how the present govt's misappropriation of our resources.
Just imagine, with tax payers money .
It is finished!
July 2022, but the thought of Nigerian youths staying home for months did not bother you to act in the best interest of the country...make it make sense to our reasoning🤯
Are these people in government Nigerians?
God why? Why this country? Why me?
AChijioke Wow 😮, amazing incompetence from this government , I’ve never seen anything like this in my life
Total rubbish. Toyota suv land cruiser is now the armour tank that is used in defending territories?
It's just painful to be a Nigerian with the madness of this government. Why not settle ASUU so that students can go back to school. It's just terrible to be a Nigerian
How wicked can Someone be? To what extent ASUU has been on strike for months now!!!
If not shameless and zenith of incompetence, why wud a govt defend this? They looted the excess crude account from $500m to $250k wit nothing to show. ASUU on strike since Feb,while military cries for no weapons to fight terrorist. Its better to be in State of anarchy than this
DavidHundeyin See response. LMAO. I give up!
What an irresponsible govt and decision, how can suv to govt officials contribute to security, time keep on revealing why it's very important that Nigerian masses make sure they keep APC far from seat of power
Defending the indefensible. You borrow money to help others? The most irrational decision of the decade. It's proven that the insecurity in the north is product of porous boarder with a nation like Niger rep. Infact, the govt don't want to fight insecurity.
This woman just fine for face but ñot fine upstairs. Ever since she has become d minister for finance, I've never seen any good and positive thing coming from her office. Na dis same woman talk say dem use billions of naira take feed school children inside COVID.
10 Toyota Land Cruiser V8 vehicles, ASUU shouldn't end the strike until their demands are met.
Yet dem no see asuu money pay
Why didn't you defend since February, why was it when DavidHundeyin brought it out Media personnel's in Nigeria, what are you doing Imagine of we didn't have someone like DavidHundeyin . This matter would be swept under the carpet. Abeg, mek una getat.
As a Nigerian, if you're not ANGRY with this current government kai.
Jokers
DavidHundeyin Have you read
Hmmm
Them never pay ASUU Dem dey do this one asap. NAIJA my country
FG has confirmed it approved 1.4b to help Niger republic tackle insecurity. wow! Just wow!
The only thing that explains this is that Buhari is not a Nigerian, maybe after his regime he will retire to his ancestral home in Niger. The evidence was there from his decision at OAU but Nigerian have very short memory
The same office of the minister of finance that Okonjo Iweala handled with distinction is what this lady is rubbishing. Rarely remembers that we have a minister of finance because the ministry is on auto-pilot.
The money is 1.4b, do not reduce it pls
You will go to jail when Obi is elected
what a country
Lol
