According to the Managing Director of PAN, Mr. Ibrahim Boyi, these members need to patronise local manufacturers, adding that this would provide jobs for unemployed Nigerians.
“We have approached them. Some members of the National Assembly are even using our vehicles as demonstration cars. They need to show more patriotism by patronising what is available locally because this will also create more job opportunities for Nigerians.”

Other contenders include Dana Motors, and Coscharis Motors.
