Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Cross River State governor, Donald Duke, on Friday said it\u2019s leadership failure for President Bola Tinubu to acquire a new presidential jet while Nigerians are hungry.<\/p>\n

Last week, Tinubu\u2019s senior aide, Bayo Onanuga, had confirmed the arrival of a new presidential jet for the Nigerian president.<\/p>\n

Onanuga said Nigeria procured an Airbus A330 to replace the 19-year-old Boeing B737-700 acquired under former President Olusegun Obasanjo.<\/p>\n

But, Duke said the move should be considered as a \u201cleadership failure\u201d due to the current economic condition of Nigerians.<\/p>\n

Featuring on Channels TV Inside Sources anchored by Laolu Akande, Duke said: \u201cThere is no glamour in saying your people are going through hard times; it is a failure of your leadership. If I am the head of a family, I want my family to have everything. I don\u2019t want life to be difficult for them.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf life is difficult, then I feel I have failed to provide for them or do the things I ought to have done. I would ask him (Tinubu) to see the Nigerian nation as his family. What is good for his family is good for the nation.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuying a new aircraft or yacht or living large is a failure. You can\u2019t have kids who are hungry and you are living lavishly, going to parties and wearing the biggest agbada.\u201d<\/p>\n
