A veteran Nigerian journalist and a Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mr Dele Momodu, has countered the statement that was made by Mr Bayo Onanuga, over the proposed purchase of new presidential jet.
While speaking, Mr Dele Momodu made it known that there is no compulsory reason for a country like Nigeria to own presidential jets, in these hard times. He went on and made it known that President Tinubu had private jets before he was declared president, noting that he can demonstrate the sacrifice he preaches by downsizing and returning to them.
The PDP Chieftain made this disclosure in a ppusr he made on his official X handle on Wednesday afternoon. He went further and noted that Air Peace has a fleet of Boeing 777 that can be hired for long haul flights, noting that it will also keep them in business.
In addition, Mr Momodu stated it clearly that our politicians in Nigeria are “outlandishly flamboyant”, thereby stating it clearly that there is nothing wrong with what Peter Obi said and suggested.
He wrote: “In these hard times, there’s no compulsory reason for a country to own Presidential jets. In fact, it is an overindulgence. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu owned private jets ever before he was declared President. He can demonstrate the Sacrifice he preaches by downsizing and returning to them and requesting his retinue to go commercial when absolutely necessary.
“Air Peace has a fleet of Boeing 777 that can be hired for long haul flights and this will keep them in business. Trouble is our politicians are outlandishly flamboyant… There’s nothing wrong with what Peter Obi said and suggested.”…..Sée Móre
