Minister of finance, Zainab Ahmed confirmed the receipt the Journalist, David Hundeyin posted on his Twitter handle on the 2nd of August, that @MBuhari purchased Vehicles worth 1.4billion Naira for Niger Govt.

It is to enhance their capacity to protect their countries, as it relates to security and also to Nigeria. So, it is in the best interest of Nigeria to do so for our neighbours.”
David Hundeyin confirmed that one of the vehicle was “2022 Toyota Landcruiser V8.”
