Official Memo: Buhari Letter Approving #1. 4BN Vehicles to his Cousins in Niger Republic

News filtering in now has it that Buhari’s official correspondence releasing the #1. 4B for the purchase of vehicles for his people in Niger Republic

See the tweet below @DavidHundeyin :-

I’m going to put this on Twitter because @WestAfricaWeek is a long-read platform that doesn’t do breaking news, and this needs to be out there.

I’ve got hold of a budget office document showing @MBuhari approving N1.4 billion to buy vehicles for the government of Niger Republic. https://t.co/GDVx50cOJ0

I went ahead to confirm the account details provided in the document and sure enough it checks out.

Why is @MBuhari’s government purchasing vehicles for a foreign government? Is this an extension of the same nonsensical decision-making that saw it prioritise a railway to Maradi? https://t.co/kQJORSSHRx

“President” @MBuhari over to you please.

Kindly explain why you are expending scarce Nigerian public sector resources on your Nigerièn cousins, and in such a brazen manner that you dare to let it appear on official Budget Office documentation.

Nigeria is waiting.
