The Presidency on Sunday clarified that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu acquired a refurbished official jet.
Tinubu’s spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, made the disclosure when he was featured on Channels Television’s programme, Inside Sources, anchored by Laolu Akande.
Onanuga said: “The president did not buy a new jet; what he has is a refurbished jet—it has been used by somebody else before he got it but it is a much newer model than the one President Buhari used. The one President Buhari used was bought by President Obasanjo some 20 years ago.
“There was a time the President went to Saudi Arabia, that plane developed some problems and the President had to leave with a chartered jet to The Netherlands. It’s not President Tinubu’s plane; it belongs to the people of Nigeria; it is our property.”
