Presidential Jet Controversy: Bayo Onanuga Clarifies Tinubu’s Decision
Presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga recently clarified that President Bola Tinubu’s administration purchased a refurbished jet rather than a brand-new aircraft, emphasizing that it is now “Nigeria’s property.”
The statement comes in response to public discussions around government spending and transparency in Nigeria.
Onanuga explained that the acquisition decision aimed to ensure functionality without the high expense associated with a completely new aircraft, potentially reflecting fiscal prudence in government asset management.
This clarification could be intended to address concerns about government expenditure while highlighting the administration’s approach to cost-effectiveness in official procurements.
