President elect Buhari who left Nigeria for the UK on Friday
May 22nd reportedly rejected the Rolls Royce car the Nigerian
Embassy in the UK made available for him as he arrived
London.
A member of his entourage who spoke with The Nation said
after exchanging pleasantries with the Nigerian High
Commissioner to the UK, Dr Dalhatu Tafida, the president-
elect politely told them that his visit was strictly private and
he had made arrangement for all his needs while in the UK.
He thanked them for the warm reception and quickly hopped
into a less flamboyant car he had arranged for and drove out
of the airport.
“It appeared he was uncomfortable with the number of
exotic cars in the convoy. Hard as the stunned
diplomats present tried to convince him, he refused to
bulge, insisting that since he did not inform the
Commission of his visit because it was not an official
trip, hence he was not entitled to such grandeur.”the
source said.
