Nigeria Not Owner Of Yacht Seen In France-Presidency
The yacht reportedly seen in St. Tropez, a coastal town in France does not belong to Nigeria, the presidency clarified on Saturday.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned that the presidency made this clarification in reaction to a viral video that had alleged that the yatcht in question belongs to the federal government.
President Bola Tinubu’s Senior Special Assistant on Digital and New Media, Otega Ogra, clarified and asserted in a post on X on Saturday that the said yacht belongs to a private individual.
‘There have been false claims circulating that a private individual’s yacht seen in St. Tropez is a Nigerian government yacht. Here are some points to consider in order to discern the truth.
The 42-metre Benetti yacht currently being circulated online has been privately owned for around five years since its construction.
It is important to note that this specific yacht has no connection or ownership ties to the Nigerian government, President, or Armed Forces. Any claims or assertions suggesting otherwise are simply untrue and inaccurate. It is not uncommon for luxury yachts to fly the flag of the owner’s country as well as the flag of the country in which they are registered.
The official Nigerian flag is Green-White-Green without a coat of arms in the middle. Flags representing the Nigerian President or the Armed Forces do not contain a coat of arms in the centre. Placing anything in the centre of the flag is a clear deviation’ Otega submitted-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
