President Muhammadu Buhari has rejected an offer by FG to procure five new armored Mercedes Benz S-600 (V22) cars for his use.
The cars are valued at about N400m. A close source told journalists on Thursday, July 9, 2015, that he found out about the plan during a briefing by Permanent Secretary, State House, Mr Nebolisa Emodi, of the ministry's activities on Wednesday.
