President Tinubu’s Safety Should Be Important To Us…Recently Acquired Presidential Jet Not ‘Brand-New’-Presidency

The presidency clarified on Sunday that contrary to claims on social media, the recently acquired presidential jet which is for the use of President Bola Tinubu is not ‘brand- new’ but a refurbished one.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that  the president’s media aide, Mr Bayo Onanuga , who said this  while appearing on Channels TV’s Inside Sources programme on Sunday, noted  that the  federal government acquired a refurbished jet and not a brand new.

‘The president did not buy a brand-new jet; what he has is a refurbished jet – it has been used by somebody else before he got it, but it is a much newer model than the one President Buhari used. The one President Buhari used was bought by President Obasanjo some 20 years ago.

There was a time when the President went to Saudi Arabia, and that plane developed some problems. The President had to leave with a chartered jet to the Netherlands. It’s not President Tinubu’s plane. It belongs to the people of Nigeria. It is our property’ he said.

Onanuga added that the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu also okayed the purchase of the refurbished plane as the maintenance costs for the old aircraft were exorbitant.

‘People should try to prioritize the safety of the president. I’m not sure anybody wishes our president to go and crash in the air. We want his safety so that he can hand over to whoever wants to take over from him’ he added-Team@orientactualmags.com   Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
