VIDEO: 82 Vehicles Counted In Tinubu’s Convoy During Lagos Visit Amid Nationwide Hardship
No fewer than 82 vehicles were in President Bola Tinubu’s convoy during one of his visits to Lagos, as seen in a viral video.
The vehicles comprised SUVs, pick-ups, vans, cars, and motorbikes (8).
The viral one-minute 30-second video shows the road had been closed to other users as only the President’s convoy is seen.
#RevolutionNow Convener, Comrade Omoyele Sowore, who posted the video on his X (formerly Twitter) handle, on Friday, criticised President Tinubu for using such a large number of vehicles in his convoy while urging citizens to endure the current economic hardship.
The former African Action Congress presidential candidate wrote: “This is the unending petro-gas-guzzling convoy of Tinubu @officialABAT during one of his trips to Lagos. Do these people act like Nigeria can’t feed its poor?
“Look at the life they live. They tell the population to endure untold and inhumane hardship while they live large at the expense of people experiencing life-threatening poverty! #RevolutionNow”.

Commenting on the tweet, @PureStanley1 wrote: “Bode George said Tinubu inherited a poorly run country from Buhari’s administration, but in this video Tinubu has 61 SUV convoys escorting him.
“They shutdown the road for Tinubu and his 61 convoy escorts to pass.
“Later they will try to gaslight Nigerians that NIGERIA IS BROKE, AND THEY CAN’T PAY N100K minimum wage.”

@IgonorMathias lamented that government officials and political leaders do not care about the cost of governance.
He wrote: “Nigeria leaders care less about cost of Governance and their lifestyle.
“They don’t care if they spend millions on convoys and maintenance of private jets and the rest.
“Until Nigeria Government are ready to cut cost, we will continue to borrow huge loans.”
