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.
