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!”
