The presidency has reacted to reports on social media over a £4000 allegedly being paid for parking the presidential jet in London

According to a statement released by the special adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari, Garba Shehu, the aircraft is being retained in the UK on grounds of protocol, national security, diplomacy and prestige.

The statement reads; The Presidency is constrained to decry criticisms, mostly on social media, on the retention in London of the Presidential Aircraft, NAF 001 as mostly informed by lack of understanding of protocol around foreign trips by Heads of State all over the world.

It is important to state that for reasons of protocol, national security, diplomacy and prestige, there is no world leader who travels abroad and is left without plans for immediate return or possible evacuation.

From operational point of view, this country’s Armed Forces as represented by the Nigeria Air Force are not to abandon their Commander-In-Chief in whichever circumstance he is. This is a standard operating procedure.

We have also read claims about outrageous fees allegedly paid by Nigeria. The published amounts are totally untrue. Aircraft conveying heads of state all over the world usually enjoy waivers even where payments for parking are differentiated by aircraft categories.

We been assured that where the waiver is not granted, payment will not exceed £1,000, which is a quarter of the amount being peddled.

For the avoidance of doubt, this President is not the first to have a presidential aircraft standing by for him, as he will certainly not be the last. All past Heads of this country have had this privilege, and the part that surprises the most is that leaders who in the past travelled with three Nigerian aircraft did not suffer this trenchant criticism.

We appeal to Nigerians to ignore opposition campaign aimed at derailing this administration's big plans for the country.
This is a government that is constructing the Second Niger Bridge, the Mambila Power Plant, the East-West and the North-South standard gauge railway lines.

We are a government that has saved this country an annual loss of two trillion Naira from fraudulent petroleum subsidy schemes by influential citizens and their children, and rid the public service of about 50,000 ghost workers.

The Buhari administration certainly deserves a chance.

Okay oooo..makes sense..I am not a fan of Buhari but it's unsoveriegn to leave your commander on chief in a foriegn land without a means of speedy evacuation if the need arises ..the only problem here is that Buhari has spent to much time in a foreign land

nice one

dem do u 4rm villa?

cc; lalasticlala

So since it's 1/4 of the amount, we can guess He has spent 20 million on a parked aircraft?

Imagine if it was Jonathan.

Garba Shehu doesn't even sound sure of what he is saying.

A whole Presidential spokesperson does not know what is happening around the Presidency.

Even if it is £1000 who said the criminals who took him there cannot claim £5000 per day?

The government save us one injuries, then gave us another wounds like hunger, unemployment insecurities ,high indices economy market forces.

It is obvious, Buhari is a liability.

Lalasticlala ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Proofing a point with a gullible is like pouring water into a basket.
They have been programed to believe lies

After spending all these amount they still bring his d e a d body of vegetable body God won't forgive APC

Lekwa ndi ara!

It is important to state that for reasons of protocol, national security, diplomacy and prestige, there is no world leader who travels abroad and is left without plans for immediate return or possible evacuation.

Really? That protocol is for presidents up and standing on their feet or those out for short procedures not those on life support who have no immediate plans or capacity to return...

We are a government that has saved this country an annual loss of two trillion Naira from fraudulent petroleum subsidy schemes by influential citizens and their children and rid the public service of about 50,000 ghost workers.

Okay, they supposedly save some money then fritter same away through this self-inflicted vegetative posturing in London? Ghost workers? Is this not the number one ghost-worker that enjoys all the trappings and benefits of office but still absconds from his duty post?

These people are just big, dirty, thieves

The amount spent on that parking fee will develop a Nigeria hospital where him and his kinds can be treated.



Buhari, it shall never be well with you.

Why are Nigerians not speaking up? Why are highly educated and enlightened people like kachukwu still fronting the spaghetti president for 2019? Why? Why? What's happening?

Several amount of money being wasted on the senile president health?


PMB should resign. The vegetable president is old for Christ sake. No amount of prayers will give him good health. This is nature setting in. I laugh when people start blackmailing God. His health has nothing do with with God. Let's use our brain for God sake.

PYO is still a puppet or mere coordinator. He cannot do anything that the cabal doesn't approve of until Buhari resigns. If PYO is not going to listen to the cry for restructuring, then may he never become president IJN.

intact both PMB and PYO should gerrarahere mehn


I'm angry

This government is just full of shit people.Why did "the presidency" lied to Nigerians that Buhari is hale & healthy? Then what is Buhari doing in a London Hospital after campaigning against government official doing same? Why parking the Presidential jet there since it's certain the healthy-sick Buhari does not know when he may return Wasting the precious resources of Nigeria on a man who chose to be a liability but telling us they can't give account of what this ill-adventure is costing us.Mind you this is the same government of "Change" that promised that integrity will be it watchword.May it never be well with whosoever have a hand in bringing this unimaginable calamity upon this country.

Is buhari still the commander in chief?

He handed over to osinbanjo

Buhari is dead to me, how could a president be in an Hospital for over 50days without any traces of his pics or Video and you tell me Buhari the vegetable is not dead or incapacitated I'm very sure Fayose is right with his statement about Buhari being on life support... Shame on those 15mill gullible Nigerians that brought this evil change on us... May the people that package Buhari as a Saint & messiah just to deceive gullible Nigerians never know peace and their families inclusive, may thier health go on recession with no solutions

Buhari is a Ghost worker

It is unpresidential for a sitting head of state to be away from his country

Very soon they will start pointing fingers to IPOB and blaming them and calling them names thinking it would hide their own foul odor from the world.

But it does not, and in fact justifies why the Ni.gga Area is a zoo of Ni.ggas who can't think at all.

See them making mouth about not abandoning their HOS. NONSENSE

Are they not ashamed that he has on several occasions gone to his masters in London for 50+ days and refuse to resign.

Which president would do that in a developed nation and not be abandoned or even shot?

Nonsense

Don't you think you are being too harsh with this prayer, abi se na curse. I almost said amen but then remembered that some of my friends and family chose to be zombified despite my repeated warnings.

Nigeria chose to live in hardship the very day zombies voted for two misers and ijebus. Nigeria should have known we were in for hunger and hardship right from the time Bubu and Osinbajo were taking milo sachets for a breakfast during their campaigns.

So £1000 is not money ? Who is defending this rubbish !

eediots.

They still have mouth to defend nonsense.

Bunch of f00ls.

The idle presidential aircraft in london consumes 4k pounds everyday for parking lot and its idleness. By 12am this morning,it would be 50days it has stayed idle and if you multiply that by N400/1pounds for 50days it will amount to N80,000,000.00 doing nothing but waiting for the President Muhammadu Buhari to get well.
Is this a government or a mistake?

Who do we believe??

A government that has been known to be a liar or an unconfirmed report


Them say na 4k, government say na 1k which one be small money among the two.


80milla Vs 20milla

is that all
