In a recent allegation, publisher and activist Omoyele Sowore has accused the Nigerian Federal Government of purchasing a luxurious Presidential Jet worth $100 million. According to Sowore, the government spent a staggering sum on an Airbus A330 while simultaneously asking the citizens to remain patient amidst ongoing economic challenges.

The aircraft, originally known as VP-CAC, has reportedly been re-registered as 5N-FGA. Sowore shared these details along with a photo of the jet on his Instagram page, igniting a wave of reactions from the public.

In his Instagram post, Sowore criticized the government’s decision, questioning the priorities and expenditure choices of the leadership. He emphasized the contradiction between the government’s call for patience and the extravagant purchase of a new Presidential Jet.

This development has sparked a significant debate among Nigerians, with many expressing their frustration over the perceived misuse of public funds. The timing of the purchase, amid calls for austerity and patience, has further fueled public outrage.

Sowore’s allegations bring to light ongoing concerns about transparency and accountability in government spending. As the story unfolds, Nigerians are keenly watching for further developments and responses from the government regarding this high-profile accusation.

The incident underscores the importance of scrutinizing government actions and ensuring that public resources are used judiciously, especially during times of economic difficulty.
