Hanteywhite Dat Cronboy said, “Nobody is willing to cut their cost so that the country can perfectly work fine. Why six cars in the first place as a minister?”

Maylisty said, “This is not fair nan. How can you say 1.5 milion was spent to fuel 6 cars. Did the cars travel outside Nigenia? Japa activated cos not getting better.”

Felle said, “For a trip to Anambra from Abuja, you’d have to fill your tank at least twice. That’s 600k for the 6 cars. To and from Anambra will be 600k x2= N1.2m. That’s how weak the naira is. I’m not holding brief for her, though.”

Uchenna Suchma said, “Very important to note that the N15m was for fueling the vehicles. Now talk about hotel, food and other bills for one trip as a Minister.”
