Nigeria’s President, Tinubu, and Vice President, Shettima, have been opting for inherited vehicles for their official duties, with most vehicles in the pool for various departments being run down. In contrast to popular belief, the N6 billion budget provision is not primarily used to feed the President and Vice President, as they are not using new vehicles in their fleet.
In fact, despite their positions, the President and Vice President have not drawn any benefits or perks from the public treasury. Over the past five months, they have not received a kobo as salary, and they are setting an example for responsible leadership.
The budget head for the State House is responsible for running the system, not for the fantasy of a sitting President and Vice President. The leaders of the nation prefer to use inherited vehicles for their official duties, indicating their responsible approach to governance and determination to prioritize substance over style.
Good journalism should focus on substance and nuanced reporting, putting the spotlight on the significance of such actions taken up by the country’s leaders. As citizens of Nigeria, it is important to acknowledge and appreciate such moves taken by the leaders to lead the country in the right direction.
