Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Muhammed
yesterday said there are five vehicles in his convoy, not six
as reported by Daily Trust on Monday.
A statement by his press secretary, Joseph Mutah, said the
minister he moves around in a convoy of five vehicles if
moving with his aides and four without his aides.
He said though the report highlighted the cut in the cost of
governance under Buhari administration, but there a
misrepresentation of fact on his motorcade.
Daily Trust reported that it saw the minister using six
vehicles, four of which were Toyota Land cruiser SUVs and
two Hilux vans in his convoy.
But the statement said “the fact is that if the minister moves
with his aides, who occupy one vehicle, he has a three-
vehicle convoy plus two pilot vehicles. If he is without his
aides, he has a two-vehicle convoy plus the two pilot
vehicles. The minister’s back-up vehicle is also used by the
security details.
