Dele Momodu Defends Peter Obi, Criticizes Presidential Jet Ownership in Nigeria
Dele Momodu, a prominent media personality, has criticized presidential aide Bayo Onanuga for his remarks aimed at Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi.
Onanuga had questioned Obi’s stance against the purchase of presidential jets, implying insensitivity and suggesting potential risks to President Bola Tinubu’s safety if forced to use faulty aircraft.
In response, Momodu defended Obi’s statement, asserting that there is no necessity for a country to possess presidential jets, particularly during challenging economic times. He highlighted that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu had owned private jets long before his presidential aspirations were declared.
Momodu proposed that Tinubu could set an example of the sacrifice he advocates by downsizing and reverting to his private jets, opting for commercial flights when necessary. He also suggested utilizing Air Peace’s Boeing 777 fleet for long-haul travel to support local businesses.
Momodu concluded by criticizing the extravagant lifestyles of Nigerian politicians, emphasizing that Obi’s suggestion was reasonable and justified in the current economic climate.
