Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate for the 2024 election, has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration to provide clarity on the acquisition of a new presidential jet and the sale of older ones.
In a post on his X account on Tuesday night, August 21, Obi called for transparency, highlighting that despite previous denials and confusion surrounding the new jet, its arrival has been confirmed, thanks to information revealed by a French court.
“Now that the Jet is here, can Nigerian taxpayers whose money was used to purchase it need to be privy to how much it cost and how old the aircraft is and how long its been in operation.
In addition, Nigerians also deserve to know about how the old jets being disposed, how many of them, how old they are, and why they are being sold. Transparency and Accountability should be the hallmark of any genuine leadership,” Obi said.
He stated that the federal government stands to lose only respect if it fails to provide sufficient transparency about its leadership to the citizens, whose funds are being used and whose mandate the President is entrusted with.
“A presidential jet is a major symbol of national sovereignty and state power. How much it costs to transport the president, is a major issue of public accountability. I hope that Nigerians will not be denied the right of full disclosure on the new presidential jet,” Obi added
