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.”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
