@MissPearls: It’s a shame to see some charlatans celebrating a long convoy driven by a mandate thief who doesn’t care about the suffering of the masses

Tinubu has not reduced the cost of governance, even within Asorock.

He has not announced a reduction in the number of presidential fleet or the number of people he will be traveling with.

@InibeheEffiong: Mr. Bola Tinubu’s convoy in Lagos is another reminder that the political class is not ready to make the sacrifices which they expect from citizens. A nation that has a devastating debt burden shouldn’t be run this way. Those defending the monstrous convoy don’t wish Nigeria well.

Wachor Zakks-Manuel: Brace up, people! This Tinubu regime promises to be a reckless and irresponsible one. Look at the convoy of the man who says we should make sacrifices. If this is not irresponsibility, I don't know what is.

President Eniola Daniel: BRT Buses were chartered for praise singers and touts yesterday to welcome Bola Tinubu at the Airport.

Interesting, Hungry Nigerians were on the road celebrating his over 100 convoy while the country is in bad shape- Just give them food and they will sing

Nelo Olufunmilayo: Hungry Nigerians really celebrating Tinubu’s convoy in this subsidy economy where they are advising you to stop driving your car and join the bus for the good of the country! Surely must be Juju!

@HarunaNAbdullah: President Tinubu's 120 car convoy .... When @officialABAT returned from Europe yesterday, more than 120 car convoy escorted him to his Lagos residence. This is gross irresponsibility and wastage of Tax Payers money. This is antithesis of good governance.

@jolibalive: President Tinubu heading to Aso Villa with a flamboyant convoy of PMS-guzzling vehicles on return from his first foreign trip.

He ended petrol subsidy and asked the country to sacrifice, but when is government going to cut cost of governance?
