Shettima’s Life Is At Risk - Borno Speaker Says As He Demands New Plane For VP by Newlymarried(f): 3:25pm On Oct 27
The Speaker of the Borno State House of Assembly, Abdulkarim Lawan, has raised concerns about the safety of Nigeria’s Vice-President, Kashim Shettima, following an incident involving the vice-president’s aircraft in the United States.

Lawan claims that Shettima’s life is at risk due to the aging and “faulty” presidential jet he travels with, urging the Nigerian Government to provide a new aircraft for the vice-president’s use.

The incident occurred during a stopover at JFK Airport in New York, where a “foreign object” reportedly hit the plane, damaging parts of the aircraft, including the cockpit windscreen. The damage forced Shettima to cancel his trip to the Commonwealth Summit in Samoa.

In a statement from Maiduguri, Borno State, on Sunday, October 27, Speaker Lawan expressed relief over the safety of the vice-president and his team but emphasized the need for urgent action. “I want to sympathize with the Nigerian Government, especially the office of the Vice-President, his crew, and staff over the unfortunate incident at JFK Airport,” he stated. Lawan also called on the Nigerian Government to seek a “thorough and timely investigation” from U.S. authorities regarding the incident at one of the world’s most secure airports.

Highlighting the risks associated with the aging presidential jet, Lawan stressed the importance of acquiring a new aircraft for Vice-President Shettima. “The life of the Vice-President, and that of his crew/officials, stand at risk while using the old and faulty presidential aircraft,” he said, adding, “There is an urgent need to acquire a new aircraft to avoid a recurrence of air mishaps.”

Will 1 aircraft be enough ?

Or we should buy 2 aircraft ?

Maybe Boeing should open a branch in Abuja ?

Faulty, his brother said here that the cause of the whatever is a foreign object hitting the plane, anyways this is nigeria, BTW, can the nigerian govt also while at it remember that the 97% who voted them in plus the 5% who didn't are very hungry. I think that ordinary food on the table is more important than a new plane to replace an old one functioning perfectly well

Please when budgetting for shettima's plane, they should also include the ones of all the Ministers and SAs and SSAs to the President for efficient discharge of their duties.

Let them also not forget to buy for all the Senators and House of Reps members for their legislative and oversight functions.

Since we all want to be mad in this godforsaken country.

how does buying a new plane prevent foreign objects from hitting the plane?

did the foreign object that hit the plane because the plane is old or did it automatically make the plane old and faulty?

i thought they said there is no money?

Foreign object had an impact with the plane. How's this enough reason to change a plane? Can't the destroyed parts be replaced?

This is one of the reasons Nigeria is held down.

In this critical economic situation that the country is going through, what a legislator could think of is buying new aircraft for Mr. Vice-President.

Why is it that our leaders always have misplaced priorities?
