Abuja – The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, says President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and the ministers are not going with their official vehicles when they leave office on May 29.

Sheu stated this during an interview with Punch

“As we speak today, nobody is entitled to official cars.

“What they use are project vehicles. These ones can only be boarded and sold after four years of usage.

“That is when the book value has been exhausted.

“This is as far as the law recommends as we speak.

“So, don’t expect that because ministers are leaving, they will carry their vehicles under Buhari.

It is not going to happen. If the ministers are not taking their vehicles along, you don’t expect the president to take any. It is not going to happen,” he said

The presidential spokesperson explained that the law already provided for former presidents and their deputies to get a certain number of vehicles at certain intervals, and that there was no need for them to take government vehicles.

“Former Heads of State have a prescribed number of vehicles they are entitled to, which may be changed after a certain number of years.

“And the President has kept to this by supplying that number of vehicles to all former Heads of State each time it is due.

“The President will not place himself above the others; that I can assure you,” he explained.

Across the country and at all levels of government, it has become a norm for heads of the executive arm and some heads of Ministries, Departments and Agencies to leave office with government vehicles; some sell the vehicles to themselves at ridiculous rates.

Aside this, some allocate huge funds for themselves for the purpose of buying vehicles; while some buy or convert government properties to personal use after their tenure.

A top source in the Presidency also explained that the vehicles used by the President and the Vice-President were purpose-built and could not be used by private citizens, which the occupants of the offices become after leaving office.

The source noted that apart from the high cost of the vehicles, they come with high-end customisation, including security and other features.

Findings revealed that the President and the Vice-President use armoured 2019 Mercedes Benz Maybach S650 bullet-proof sedans, which some experts estimate to be worth at least N300million.

The presidency added that ministers would only get what the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission prescribes as their severance benefits.
