Sowore shared a photo of the jet on his Instagram, criticizing the government’s spending priorities.
He wrote, “While they are telling you to ‘exercise patience,’ @officialasiwajubat already bought a $100m Presidential Jet and configured or reconfigured it with some $50 million and it is ready for delivery! The jet is an A330-200 initially christened VP-CAC is now registered as 5N-FGA.”
