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 has been reported that the Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.
Amid this concern, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) reassured the people that no trace of Ebola has been confirmed in the country, despite the outbreak in Africa.
FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
It has been reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has finally released the withheld results of 279 students.
It can be recalled that some results were held due to investigations of cheating. Some results proved to have traces of malpractice and were cancelled, but the ones without traces have been released and the students can finally move on.
JAMB also shared additional advice for students that might have not seen theirs: “Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.”
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.
