Just months after purchasing a $45 million dollar jet, and a few days after recklessly doling out several thousands of dollars to Nigerian music star, 2Face and his wife, Akwa Ibom State Governor Godswill Akpabio has taken possession of several bulletproof sprinter luxury vans from US based Texas Armoring Corporation (TAC).
A source told Saharareporters that the governor took delivery of the Mercedes Benz made vans recently after they were customized to his specifications by TAC in Texas.The vans will join a remarkable fleet of top-of-the-line bulletproof luxury Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV) Akpabio already has in his official convoy, making the latest purchase superfluous and insensitive, insiders in the government told SaharaReporters.
The Texas Armoring Company has displayed the luxurious interior of Mr. Akpabio’s latest toy on its Facebook page.
The Akwa Ibom governor, who intends to run for the Senate when his second term ends, has emerged as one of Nigeria’s hardest-spending governors, with a taste for the finest things, while most of his State remains undeveloped. He is also one of President Goodluck Jonathan’s closest confidants, and recently emerged chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum, with a mandate to help Jonathan win re-election in 2015.
Insiders say some governors convert some of the luxury possessions into personal items they take with them when they leave office, or give away as presents to friends.

Nigerian leaders are full of drama,is this the priority of the governor?This Akpabio dude spends money as if it's going out of fashion,can't wait to report him to his oga at the top,shior
This is so unfair !!! Why would the masses be suffering in Akwa Ibom yet the governor spends extravagantly !!!
Its not their fault.
The discovery of oil in Nigeria seems like our greatest undoing,coz it brought about reckless spending by some few priviledged individuals.

What Do You Expect From The Governor? When The President Is Granting State Pardon To A Convicted Public Funds Thief.Well Sha, God No Dey sleep.
And yet people can't afford to feed their families talk less afford hospital bills.
I'm not saying they should spend recklessly but hope you would have called it reckless if the gift was given to Peter of pSquare and not 2face?. Our leader's should please try to think about the common man on the street more and implement policies that will reduce poverty because that will reduce the rate of crime and not bullet proof vans.
he is definately maddd and crazy,pipu are dyin and suffering and d bst he can do is 2 spend d money any how, its God dat wee punish him
HBD 2 my darlyn husband.I love u 2 bits,u are d best husband in d whole wide world.Love u baby.AMMY

Linda atleast he has done enough 4 his state what oda governors can't do nd r still wasting our money, so if he wnts 2 flex he's free
Great. So when..my people..do we say enough is enough? Do u realize that Nigeria is the only country in the world where elected government officials throw lavish parties to celebrate their appointment into office as it indicates the enrichment of their families by way of embezzlement. So instead of serving the people of the state who they have been entrusted care for, they devise numerous ridiculous ways to recklessly spend monies that belong to the people as if it was their inheritance..and they flaunt it and show it off to the same people. When is enough enough fellow Nigerians?
I don't want to talk about this bullet proof buses now cos I can say one thing now and my oga at the top will come and say another. Daz all! :|
I don't give a fuck abou politicians and their blah blah blah, but this man reali got me walking on my nerves, with the way he spend...mehn, it obvious he's drinking the state's money.
Bad belle! Who tell una say state no develope? Come down and see what has happened in 5yrs and compare to Rivers and Bayelsa states. U wan expose him to enemies abi? Safety first Joor. Carry on GOA.
Hmmmmm,our money is talking,God is watching all of u
Haba I beg mak una leave my governor alone oh! He is trying for the state Abeg. What did his predecessors do in the state? He has done really well. Visit AK and you'll see what I mean.
please stop saying what you dont know. most of akwa ibom is not 'undeveloped'. if you read, you will know that statistics state that Akwa Ibom is one of the fastest growing states in Nigeria....probably better than your state
And some shallow-minded Akwa Ibomites go dey happy when him sink one borehole, write him ancestors name their for their community! All political office holders, past & present na big time theives for we country !!!
Dis country amaze me atimes whts he givin 2Face thousands of Dollars for? Rich enriching the Rich
Why bullet proof?=insecurity
Why so much wasteful spending?=bad governace
www.naijaopenmouth.com
Really? no comments?
So later you guys will be mad at those terrorists.see real terrorist here and nothing will happen to him
Its becoming just too much in this nation when elected office holders spends tax payers' money on unnecessry things. The security our leaders can't provide for the public that's the essence of buying bulletproof vans since they know insecurity is far fetched in this nation.

Linda I luv ur senses of humor especialy wen u ar dealin wit a delicate issues lik dis,"accrdind to sahara reporter" no be u talkam,I will also tell u as an insida dat des no part of da state undeveloped,no L.G.A untouch.if all states in nigeria has a governor lik Akpabio & Okorocha by now nigeria wud av bin compareed to london. Da man is doin very well only an ingrate will nt agree wit me.
The car fine inside he deserve it.
He doesn't care about aesthetics, his own is to be safe and free from gunshot.
That's wat too expensive though, he is afraid of death
Cheers.
btw This car looks like aeroplane that doesn't patronize the airport and uses atmosphere as its suspending agent. Cool is its name!
Why does he have to buy a car with a bullet proof. Iwa omo ni o n mu omo se okigbe (na the pikin behavior dey make am do charm wey no go allow cutlass penetrate).
Moral: good governance is more secured that bad governance when power is relinquished
Omo d interior make sense pa, God is watching all dis peepz oh, may i not die poor ijn,God where are u, pls show me the promise land.
God wil judge them I swear.somtimes I wish death 4 ds people
Dis my Governor won't kill us o. Bt payment of state workers' salaries was delayed. Misplaced priorities! We'll still survive sha. God dey
God is watching with 3D....isokayeooo
Linda pls report your own news n leave sahara reporter cuz their too sentimental. There's no place in akwa-ibom dat is undevelop. Aunty linda, u can travel down there to see for ursef. The governor has really transformed his state.
Hmmmm
Are these 'ogas at the top' trying to provoke a revolution.
Omase oh......ds politicians are just too foolish..smh vigorously
Unfortunately, this is a true story. To verify, go to the makers Facebook. There post the pictures proudly. Shame on the governor! A state where poverty is the daily reality. Until we start voting in women into government, we are finished in that country.
I guess he his now protected against the bullets from the outside. Don't worry Governor, they will find another way to get to you.
Nawa oh!!!!
Bella Adenuga own one of this already...
To be a thief and walk. Around freely,be a friend of GEJ!...dats d secret!
All the worst thieves of this adminstration are his best friends:FCT minister,petroleum minister,finance,akpabio etc to mention a few.
But its ninety nine days for the thief....
hmmmm! Tho he's really tried in developing d state but...... I rest my case 2 raise it someday!
i think it's about time we have a referendum against these criminals. Yes, I say it, criminals. what make them think they deserve all these now when they could not provide such as private citizens. If the people in part of country couldn't muscle it, I think we in the from lAgos should start with Lagos State government.
Dis man is jes squandering mi state money...God pls deal aid him IJN...Amen...bring his downfall like d likes off ibori for lavishing our states money instead of putting it to good use...so annoying n obnoxious loud mouthed man...gross

Wrting about our nations most beloved governor.even if he purchased it and so? Is It Urs state money?yes we are proud of him and he deserves it.OH YES,,!!
Stupid people with skull full of sand..he is going to drive the vehicle on pothole filled roads!
Nigerians, especially in the North and East, deserve the leaders they get because those two groups consist of the most myopic, most ignorant people on the face of the earth; all they see is religion and tribe.
Gov akpabio is the most active governor in Nigeria,u need to go to AKS to see wat he has done and wat he is still doing. Most of this governors have BP Vans,why should his own be news? Sahara reporters can escalate unnecessarily.#smh
Now this really affects the price of Garri in the market, No wonder a congo of Garri is now 350. Hmmn,make poor man no die in penury O°˚˚˚
Were is EFCC when u need them!!!
Were is EFCC when u need them!!!
so you people actually believe that? F.Y.I this dude is doing great for his state...sure none of you have been to akwa ibom...so just leave his haters let them keep on hating!
That's how they all start- from “nobody” to “somebody” using state funds. Later, his children will open their big mouths to say “there is no poverty in Nigeria”. We are watching patiently, because what goes round always comes around.
on which road will they ride this bullet proof van biko

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha sooooooooooooooo true
visited Akwa Ibom for the 1st time last weekend. My first impression was "wow, this airport and its environs look neat" then again i decided not to jump into conclusions but see for myself, a drive into town from Uyo Airport, down to Eket through villages, and beyond Eket where i attended a wedding ceremony left me agape! not one pot hole, neat roads and environment, no signs of environmental pollution, infrastructure, i was beyond impressed. If you have never been to Akwa Ibom, do not be quick to condemn this Gov.
Are u Depressed? Are u going through a difficult time and u need to talk to someone? why not share it with me and let us solve it together. Shareitwitholu@gmail.com
Akpabio don hamma we'll well, he can afford to buy anything money can buy. Nobody is talking about the price of rice in the market which Dangote is exploiting us bcos he gave Super Eagles money
This is injustice to the unemployed indigenes of Akwa-Ibom state. Pls give Aregbesola dis van money and he will create 20,000 more salary earners wit his ongoing OYES project.
Save ursef d stress of reportin ,cos his oga @ d top is so aaware of his spendings n is doin nothin abt it as far as he is settling him....SMH
Speak 4 ursef dumbass....ur nt sufferin cos ur prolly 4rm Anan or wateva...or datin 1 of his several boys or fuckin d oga himself.....pple r sufferin in akwaibom......
