Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A two-time presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has claimed that President BolaTinubu has already bought a $100 million presidential jet.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The proposal was widely rejected by some Nigerians.<\/p>\n

However, Sowore, writing on X on Monday evening, claimed Tinubu had already purchased the jet without informing Nigerians.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cWhile they are telling you to \u2018exercise patience\u2019 @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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was not in the annual budget, they can\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

Fight we MUST!\u201d<\/p>\n
