Nigerian senator Ben Murray-Bruce on Friday disclosed that he pre-ordered a flying car from California-based startup Alef Aeronautics which is reportedly worth over $300,000.

The former Bayelsa East Senator tweeted this with a photo of the black car and a receipt showing the preorder notice.

Murray-Bruce, an advocate of electric cars, said he was “thrilled” to announce his pre-order, adding that flying cars are no longer sci-fi.

“I am thrilled to announce my preorder of Alef, @AlefAeronautics, the first FAA-approved flying electric car! A testament to our boundless future—flying cars aren’t just for sci-fi anymore. For years, I’ve been an advocate for electric vehicles, and I was the first to own one in Nigeria,” he said.

Murray-Bruce said he would be bringing it to Nigeria and hoped the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) would gladly receive it.

“Here’s to the next leap in transportation. Africa, we rise! Excited to bring this revolution to Nigeria, and I hope the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), @NigeriaCAA, is ready,” he added.
