Nigerian lawyer and activist, Deji Adeyanju, has expressed strong criticism over the acquisition of a new presidential jet by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, labeling it as “outrageous.”

The video comes on the heels of reports confirming that the new presidential jet, an Airbus A330 valued at N150 billion, landed in Abuja on Sunday, August 19, 2024. The arrival of the jet has sparked widespread controversy and criticism from Nigerians, who argue that the funds used for the purchase could have been better allocated to address the nation’s pressing economic issues.

Adeyanju’s remarks echo the sentiments of many Nigerians who are grappling with record inflation and other economic hardships. In the video, Adeyanju wonders how the government could justify such a significant expenditure on a private jet while many citizens are struggling to make ends meet.

The controversy surrounding the presidential jet as stoked by Adeyanju intensified as President Tinubu used it for his trip to France, further fueling public outrage over the timing and necessity of the purchase. Critics have called for greater transparency and accountability in government spending, especially in light of the country’s current economic woes.
