Former Senator representing Bayelsa East constituency at the National Assembly, Ben Murray Bruce, has ordered a Lucid electric car to be delivered in early 2022.

Sharing the photos of the Lucid Car which he claimed will be better than Tesla, Ben Bruce called on the Federal Government to ban all combustion Engine cars by 2035.

He tweeted: “In practising what I preach, I recently put a deposit on this yet to be manufactured Lucid Electric Car. Delivery is early next year. It’s capable of more miles per charge than a Tesla. An amazing machine. Nigeria should ban all combustion Engine cars by 2035.”
