Buying Presidential Jet While Nigerians Go Hungry Is Failue – Donald Duke
Former Cross River State governor, Donald Duke, on Friday said it’s leadership failure for President Bola Tinubu to acquire a new presidential jet while Nigerians are hungry.
Last week, Tinubu’s senior aide, Bayo Onanuga, had confirmed the arrival of a new presidential jet for the Nigerian president.
Onanuga said Nigeria procured an Airbus A330 to replace the 19-year-old Boeing B737-700 acquired under former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
But, Duke said the move should be considered as a “leadership failure” due to the current economic condition of Nigerians.
Featuring on Channels TV Inside Sources anchored by Laolu Akande, Duke said: “There is no glamour in saying your people are going through hard times; it is a failure of your leadership. If I am the head of a family, I want my family to have everything. I don’t want life to be difficult for them.
“If life is difficult, then I feel I have failed to provide for them or do the things I ought to have done. I would ask him (Tinubu) to see the Nigerian nation as his family. What is good for his family is good for the nation.
“Buying a new aircraft or yacht or living large is a failure. You can’t have kids who are hungry and you are living lavishly, going to parties and wearing the biggest agbada.”
