President Tinubu departs for France

President Tinubu departed Abuja Monday for Paris, France using the new Airbus A330, which replaced the 19-year-old Boeing B737-700(BBJ) bought under the Presidency of President Olusegun Obasanjo.

The new plane, bought far below the market price, saves Nigeria huge maintenance and fuel costs, running into millions of dollars yearly.

The recommendation to replace the B737-700(BBJ) followed an investigative hearing by Nigeria's parliament that questioned the plane's safety record and cost efficiency, especially after it malfunctioned during a trip to Saudi Arabia.

The Nigerian Senate’s security and intelligence committee recommended replacing the ageing aircraft in the presidential fleet to reduce downtime and operational expenses.

The new plane is spacious and is furnished with the state-of-the-art avionics, customized interior and communications system.

It is not a personal property.

Future President's will use it.

A Nigerian President needs to be able to fly in a plane owned by Nigeria as and when needed.

People who say the prime ministers of some countries in Europe use commercial planes. Yes, but those countries airports and airlines are very well connected to other countries.

Nigeria airlines don't fly to many countries. I think Airpeace only flies to the UK.

So, what if Nigeria's President needs to travel to France, USA, Brazil etc? He should fly Air France, or United Airlines? What if those airlines are not available on the day he needs to fly?

Because the price of beans and garri is high, Nigeria should not buy an aeroplane? I disagree.

The Nigerian government can do both - buy the plane and continue to work to make life easier for citizens.

Then, let them sell the current ones. This administration is insincere and very deceitful. Ẹ wo bí ó ti bó eyín bí ọmọ tí wọ́n ra ìṣeré fún ní ọjà ọba.

The bitter loser OBIFOOL will NEVER enter this in his lifetime.

THE WORST THING IN LIFE IS TO TRUST A HYPOCRITE.


MOST OF THESE TINUBU SUPPORTERS WILL SEE HIM AS A DEVIL AFTER HIS TENURE IN OFFICE.

I swear.

Imagine the insensitivity from Tinubu.

Buying plane while they tell us to be patient.

The Nigerian senate is just like a ministry under Tinubu with Akpabio acting as an appointee of the federal government…

Too bad.

Upon all the debts we are to service?

Nice one o. He has shut the mouth of lawmakers already so expect little noise from the top. Is it the muslim elites that just stoned satani with billions that will cry out?
Just keep hailing Nigeria.

Useless old fools.

I'm encourage Tinubu to buy 3 more of this plane because when the country split to 4 region in 2027 each plane would go to each region's.

I am glad some defender of evil like helinues are hungry and broke 🤣🤣🤣

May God punish this president.

Hmm
The fact that this was acquire without proper scrutiny is the only thing I disheartening.

The Senate gave no approval for this.


It is Nigeria Presidential jet Tinubu's jet.

The common man should be patient Mr. President knows what he is doing

So why denying it earlier

Summary: they no too rate all of una..

The one that weakens me the most is the way they disregard the Parliament

Imagine an American President purchasing an Airforce one through the back door without budgetary approval or Parliamentary approval. It's unthinkable..

This is one of the result of building strong men and weakening all your institutions, from Parliament to Judiciary, to INEC, to etc..

Until another election approaches.. they would return to lie to you, that's when you matter to them.

Tilumbu say make u tie our belt and endure the baby steps of pain as he too is enduring it while he is living large.

He brought this aircraft without approval of the senate and nobody can do nothing about it. The worse we can do is complain and after a few weeks we would stop talking about it

Why is the govt not afraid of the backlash? They are not afriad because come 2027, they will share a few cups of rice and 5k to people to come and vote for them because most Nigerians have a price

If uselessness was a person. Balablu you no get conscience at all.

This man came to steal , kill and to destroy.

Nigerians never see anything. Hunger will reset Una brain.. politicians playing ping pong with your brain. If what they are doing is right, why hide the price of the plane..l pity sychopant and 30,000 naira supporters of these people.. think of your future and children future, stop depending on palliative
