Promise Emmanuel, the media advisor to Kogi Deputy Governor, has made fun of the federal government for buying Land Cruisers for the Niger Republic administration while claiming that the purchase is related to security.
Recall that Zainab Ahmed, Minister of Finance, Budget, and National Planning, justified the Niger Republic’s purchase of automobiles for N1.145 billion when answering questions during the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting on Wednesday, August 3.
According to Ahmed, “Nigeria has to support its neighbours, especially the immediate neighbours to enhance their capacity to secure their countries as it relates to us.”
Reacting to this in a Facebook post, Promise Emmanuel asked why the Buhari-led administration did not procure gun trucks instead.
He wrote;
Land Cruisers are now Gun Trucks for fighting insecurity
Following the criticism he faced from members of All Progressives Congress which his principal also belongs to over the post, Emmanuel wrote;
People who are usually Yes Man People always see others as ungrateful. Actually, if you add value, you should also add a voice of reason when things go bad. It is part of value addition.
Kings usually trust sincerity in place of sycophancy. They may not agree with you but they always think these things true, especially the ones who also like progress.
I dont think my boss would be failing and I’d be hailing him to complete failure.
