Omoyele Sowore Claims Federal Government Bought $100 Million Presidential Jet
Publisher and activist Omoyele Sowore has alleged that the Federal Government has purchased a new Airbus A330 Presidential Jet costing $100 million.
Sowore stated that the jet, originally an A330-200 with the name VP-CAC, has been re-registered as 5N-FGA.
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.”
Sowore highlighted the mismatch between the government’s expenditure on the jet and its failure to budget for it, pay minimum wage, or support students needing loans for education.
He also mentioned the approval of billions for hajj amid allegations of fund theft.
Sowore ended his post with a call to action: “Fight we MUST! #RevolutionNow.”
