Muhammadu Buhari has begun to show Nigerians what to expect when he takes the reigns in a few days time. The President-elect shockingly turned down the luxurious Rolls Royce car offered to chauffeur him around London.
If this singular action is anything to judge by, then we have an interestingly long 4 years ahead of us.
The President-elect Muhammadu Buhari was in London on Friday and he turned down the use of a Rolls Royce made available for him by the Nigerian High Commission in London.
The Nation reports that officials of the High Commission were shocked when Buhari landed at Heathrow Airport, and refused to make use of the Rolls Royce and other facilities offered him.
After exchanging pleasantries with the embassy officials led by the High Commissioner, 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 reportedly thanked them for the warm reception and quickly hopped into a less flamboyant car he had arranged for and drove out of the airport.
