Former Special Assistant to
ex-President, Goodluck Jonathan on New Media,Reno Omokri, says charges accrued
by the presidential jet parked in London airport can pay 2,000 Nigerian
workers.
Omokri, who made the claim on his
Facebook page also described as a joke, the statement credited to the
presidency that retention of the presidential jet in London airport is for
prestige.
The former Presidential aide
wondered if British Prime Minister, Theresa May, who has no official jet lacks
prestige.
According to Omokri, “As at
today, the amount of charges our Presidential jet has accrued at London
Stansted Airport could have paid 2,000 Nigerian workers going by the lowest
parking rate charged by Stabsted.
“Why is the jet even there? This
joke of a Presidency in their statement justified parking the Presidential jet
at London’s Stansted by saying it was for ‘prestige’ reasons.
“British Prime Minister, Theresa May has no
official jet. Maybe she has no ‘prestige’ even though Britain manufactures jets
and Nigeria does not!”
The retention of the Presidential
jet that conveyed Buhari to London on his second medical trip has been a source
of controversy, as some Nigerians wondered why the jet has not returned to the
country.
In an attempt to douse the
controversy, Buhari’s spokesperson, Garba Shehu recently said the Presidential
jet was retained in London due to “protocol, national security, diplomacy and
prestige.”
Reno, stop paying attention to Garb Shehu's gobbledygook. Don't be surprised to hear that Garba Shehu may not know that you pay for parking your aircraft. The main reason it's parked in London is that the Acting President must not ride in the aircraft since, to them he isn't the President - that's where "prestige" comes in.
ReplyDeleteReno or Renut, when are you going to stop rubbish coming out of mouth?
ReplyDeleteThe brain you using to criticise President Buhari should have been used to correct your former pay master under whom the Country was looted to the bone!
It's now that the country is being looted and milked to death. Corruption like never before, poverty like never before with budget of N6tr in 2016 and N7tr in 2017. National debt on the increase. Do people care to ask what is done with the budgets and the recovered loot. They are deceiving themselves, blaming the past government for over two years.
