Nigerians Slam Enugu Governor, Mbah For Patronizing Hyundai Cars Over Innoson (Photos)

Mbah had taken to the microblogging platform, Twitter to announce the purchase of new vehicles for the Distress Rapid Squad (DRS).

The Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah has been slammed on social media for patronizing foreign car makers instead of Innoson company.

The condemnation comes after the Governor took to the microblogging platform, Twitter to announce the purchase of new vehicles for the Distress Rapid Squad (DRS).

According to him, the DRS is a replacement for the comatose Police Urban Patrol and the latest move is a proactive measure of his administration in ensuring the security of lives and properties in the state.

Sharing photos of the car, Mbah wrote: “I have set up a new team of the police branded Distress Rapid Squad (DRS), to replace the comatose Police Urban Patrol. They will patrol the streets of Enugu with a view to rapidly respond to security issues in our state.

“This is part of the proactive measures of my administration to ensure security of lives and properties, and the total wellbeing of Ndi Enugu. It is my priority to ensure that Enugu State is safe to enable exponential economic growth”

This generated reactions online as many Nigerians attacked him for leaving Innoson for the Hyundai Motor Company.

He bought 8 pieces of Hyundai & rushed to Twitter to receive accolades. He is an Igbo man who chose a South Korea brand over his own brother; Innoson Motors.”

@ebelechukwu wrote: “Peter Mbah left Innoson motors that are strong and built for the bad roads in Nigeria and the parts readily available and in Nnewi that is really close to Enugu state and went all the way to S. Korea to purchase Hyundai and then run to twitter to collect accolades as a working governor.

“How do we build our economy when we can’t even buy our made in Nigeria products ? We keep helping other countries develop their economy while the Nigeria economy continue to suffer great decline”
