Tinubu Bought $100m Presidential Jet While Telling Nigerians To Exercise Patience – Sowore Alleges


Human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, says President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has already bought a $100 million presidential jet.

Recall that a committee of the National Assembly had recommended the purchase of a new presidential jet for the President and his Vice, Kashim Shettima, owing to the dysfunctional state of Presidential Fleet.

The proposal was however rejected by most 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!”
