Tinubu has already bought $100m presidential jet – Sowore claims

A two-time presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has claimed that President BolaTinubu has already bought a $100 million presidential jet.

A committee of the National Assembly recently recommended the purchase of a new presidential jet for the President and the President, noting that the aircraft in the Presidential Fleet are dysfunctional.

The proposal was widely rejected by some Nigerians.

However, Sowore, writing on X on Monday evening, claimed Tinubu had already purchased the jet without informing Nigerians.

He said, “While they are telling you to ‘exercise patience’ @officialABAT already bought a $100m Presidential Jet and configured or reconfigured it with some $50million and it is ready for delivery! The jet is an A330-200 initially christened VP-CAC is now registered as 5N-FGA.

“This was not in the annual budget, they can’t pay minimum wage for workers but could afford $150m for a private jet, students have to obtain loans to go to college but they could afford to approve billions for hajj even as the money/ies ended up being stolen.
Fight we MUST!”
