President Tinubu has reportedly purchased a presidential jet worth N150 billion. The Airbus A330 presidential aircraft was acquired amid immense hardship in the country.
Since the report came to light, Nigerians have been reacting to the acquisition. Many expressed sadness at the insensitivity of the government for purchasing a presidential jet worth $100 million but refusing to accept the N250,000 national minimum wage proposal by organized labour.
Additionally, N21 billion is set to cater for the construction of a Vice President’s quarters that will be located within the Three Arms Zone.
Recall that the presidency had earlier indicated plans to purchase a presidential yacht costing N5 billion in the 2023 supplementary budget submitted to the National Assembly.
