I Use Only 5 Vehicles In My Convoy – Minister Lai Mohammed

Many are already complaining that in an era that we say there is scarce resources and Nigerians should be ready to make some sacrifices, a Minister should not have anything more than 2 or 3 cars.


But the minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Muhammed reacted to a story that he has up to six cars in his his convoy, saying his convoy has only five vehicles.

 
Making the clarification, a statement by his press secretary, Joseph Mutah, said the minister moves around in a convoy of five vehicles if moving with his aides and four without his aides.

He said though the report highlighted the cut in the cost of governance under Buhari administration, but there a misrepresentation of fact on his motorcade.

The statement added, "the fact is that if the minister moves with his aides, who occupy one vehicle, he has a three-vehicle convoy plus two pilot vehicles. If he is without his aides, he has a two-vehicle convoy plus the two pilot vehicles. The minister’s back-up vehicle is also used by the security details."

Daily Trust had reported that it saw the minister using six vehicles, four of which were Toyota Land cruiser SUVs and two Hilux vans in his convoy.
