@NDrAgwoTurumbe wrote: “A true definition of waste of resources. These Hyundai cars are neither rugged nor fast. There is a reason in other climes, police vehicles are specially designed. Why do we keep wasting money in the name of “trying” rather than do it right? Get Innoson to make Police Vans”

@Benking443 wrote; “You chose Hyundai when there is Innoson domiciled in Enugu. What message are you sending”

@firstladyship wrote; “The Governor of Enugu State is a showman. He governs his state on social media. That man enjoys the hype & the razzmatazz. 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.”

@bond_Mcguire wrote; “But Sir… You are still part of our collective problem Sir… with all due respect… Did you not see  @innosonvehicles there to purchase the type or better vehicles? Or other Nigerian Vehicle makers?? Hyundai is South – Korean. You just helped them NOT US!!!”
