AN investigation published by The ICIR has revealed how the Akwa Ibom State government spent N5.4 billion in 2019 on the maintenance of only one state-owned aircraft, a Bombardier Global 5000 strictly meant for the use of the governor, Emmanuel Udom and members of his family.

The State House of Assembly had approved N2.5 billion for that purpose but the office of the Secretary of the State Government (SSG) spent N5.04 billion.

In the investigation, Liberty Jet, a New York-based airline operator said the annual cost of flying and maintaining a Bombardier Global 5000 for 400 hours a year is approximately $2,272,015 which is only N693.88 million, at the exchange rate of N305/$1 in 2019.

Another aviation cost company called Aircraft Cost Calculator said the cost of flying and maintaining a Bombardier Global 5000 is $2,525,902 which is equivalent to N770.4 million at 450 hours per year.

Watch his foot soldiers as they rush to defend him. Nigerian youths don't even know what they want. Parochial politics have finished us.

In Nigeria, the more a politician works, the more he steals......

I supported udom but I think the man has deviated from the cardinal point he campaigned on.
Don't know why some men are so power drunk and foolish while in power.
That money alone can employ more than 1,000 graduates with monthly wage of 150k. And u will still have change left.
By so doing, u have elevated or lifted a thousand family out of poverty, but what they think of is only themselves and their families.
