Reason APC Remains Silent Over Oduahs BMW Nigerians are still under shock about the silence from the camps of the All Progressive Congress (APC), over the alleged purchase of two BMW armoured vehicles for the Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah, for N225 million. As mounting outrage trails the, Elombah investigation has exposed the reason behind the silence of APC in the raging matter of the ruling partys $1.6 million dollar car scandal at the aviation ministry. Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Raji Fashola and his political Godfather, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu two years ago took delivery of new acquisitions; three N600 million bullet-proof Jeeps. The cars are customized- by special order of Lagos state government. The All Progressives Congress (APC) is known to issue condemnatory press releases at the flimsiest of excuse, the last being their statement describing as the height of insensitivity the decision by First Lady Patience Jonathan to receive an Honorary Doctorate award in far away South Korea. Source identified Fashola and Tinubus purchase of three bullet proof cars- Jeeps- with bomb detector apparatus and surveillance cameras. Findings revealed that two of the purchase are with Governor Fashola for official usage as the helmsman of Lagos state. Asiwaju Tinubu is said to have one to his name as party leader. The brand of the bullet proof cars is identified as Toyota Prado Jeep. The cost of each jeep- including handling, registration, insurance and other fees- is two hundred million Naira. The three jeeps are valued at six hundred million Naira. This is double the amount spent by Ms Stella Oduah in the current bullet-proof jeep scandal. The three automobiles were reportedly bought for Asiwaju Tinubu and Governor Fashola on grounds of security. Insiders say that the two political figures have not gone public with their jeeps for fear of attracting public anger. The Osun state governor is also reported amount 6 other APC governors that have their names to the Bulletproof car. The government of Osun state bought their own bulletproof car at the sum of N125 Million. We are appealing to our Politicians to look at the faces of Nigerians on the street before going for these monumental waste of scare resources. About 480 Nigerians die daily for hunger related sickness across the country.
