House of Representatives has summoned a Korean Company, makers of Hyundai Motors Nigeria Ltd to appear before the National Assembly for investigative hearing over alleged defective Elegance Jeep sold to Hon Willie Ogbeide, honourable of the 4th assembly.
The house in a letter signed by the chairman, House Committee on Public Petition, Hon Uzo Azubuike invited the company and Ogbeide to appear before the House next week Thursday over the alleged defective jeep sold by the company to Hon Ogbeide.
Hon Azubuike states in the letter, "The House of Representatives at its sitting of Wednesday, 22nd February, 2012 received a petition from you against the managing director, Hyundai Motors Nig Ltd on alleged sale of defective Hyundai Jeep 1 x 35 Elegance GLS OL. To this effect you are invited to an investigative hearing on the matter" Speaking to Vanguard in Abuja Wednesday, Hon Ogbeide narrated that he bought a Hyundai jeep 1 x 35 Elegance GLS 2.0 litre for his wife who resides in Benin from the Korean company's office at Airport Road, Abuja on October 27, 2011 at N4.1million, recounting that the jeep had within five weeks of purchase developed series of problems ranging from acceleration to air-condition.
According to him, "On October 27th October 2011 I purchased Hyundai jeep for my wife at a cost of N4.1million from Hyundai Motors Nigeria Ltd in Abuja. The car had barely worked for three weeks when it developed problem. It was sent back to the company which said it had repaired the fault and sent to us.
About three days, the jeep broke-down in Sapele as my wife was using it to Warri.
The motor company was accordingly informed and it sent its mechanic who eventually took the car to their office in Abuja since it was obvious that the car had factory fault". He elucidated, "The car had no Wheel spanner when it was delivered to me and that I first complained ,to them.
Then when l drove the car to Benin for my wife, I observed that it has acceleration problem, immediately l called Hyundai office to complain to them, they promised to rectify it since it was still under warranty and before we could solve that, the air-condition had problem for which l also called their office through my lawyer and in less than five weeks".
"When l got tired of their dripping, I requested that they refund my money to me within seven days. They did not and have not responded and l wrote to House of Reps to save me and other Nigerians from the Korean company" Speaking to Vanguard, the administrative Manager of Hyundai, Mr Ichonye John and the Workshop Manager of the company, Mr Haari Sriohar who attended to Vanguard, both admitted that the jeep was bought from the company but would not comment on the matter as they have replied the House of Representatives upon receiving the summon from the House. "We don't have anything to say on this.
We have received a letter and we have responded to it. We received instruction from our Lagos office on what to do and that has been done so we cannot say anything further on the issue".

ReplyDeleteit is well with us. God save us further.
ReplyDeleteThe House of Representatives must know that Nigerians are not happy with their services to the NATION. This Korean Company will never respect our National Assembly until corruption is wipe out or control. Look at China where corruption officers are executed while in Nigeria they get shameful award. Respect yourself, other will respect you and our great country, Nigeria
ReplyDeleteSimply, this idiotic house should be swept away by any means - coup or otherwise. Jobless rogues
ReplyDeleteWhen is the date of the hearing? I want to inform Boko Haram in time so they too would attend atleast as un-invited guests.
ReplyDeleteYou all have said well,expect the last Anonymous, who is writing about Boko Haram.please don't take about them again,they are not people will should praise at all. How can the HYUNDAI company sell a jeep that is not good to anybody in Nigeria. We need to tell them that we won't accept that from them. What the house of rep. As done is right. If the man can buy is wife a jeep it fine, but the issue on ground is that the jeep is faulty. Pls make they give new one or the money back.
ReplyDeleteThis is a clear evidence of the unfortunate calibre of people that are assembled in the House of Rep.The man may as well bring up his bedroom quarrel with his wife to the National Assembly for mediation.
ReplyDeleteThat member of House of Rep. should tell Nigerians how he got #4.1m. This is the kind of people Nigerians call their "LEADERS"..House of Shame,may Godforgive you people.Nigerian graduates are out there suffering & you are here talking about your wife's car.
ReplyDeleteGod punish our leaders...Amen
