Publisher, Dele Momodu has tackled presidential aide, Bayo Onanuga, for asking Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, if he wants President Bola Tinubu to die after he kicked against the purchase of presidential jets.
Onanuga had described Obi’s comment as insensitive, asking if he would rather have the life of the President jeopardised by flying faulty aircraft.
Reacting to this, Dele Momodu stated that there is nothing wrong with what Obi said. He also said that there’s no compulsory reason for a country to have presidential jets in these hard times.
According to him, Tinubu owned private jets ever before he was declared President and he can demonstrate the sacrifice he preaches by downsizing and returning to them and requesting his retinue to go commercial when absolutely necessary.
He wrote;
“In these hard times, there’s no compulsory reason for a country to own Presidential jets. In fact, it is an overindulgence. ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU owned private jets ever before he was declared President. He can demonstrate the SACRIFICE he preaches by downsizing and returning to them and requesting his retinue to go commercial when absolutely necessary. AIR PEACE has a fleet of Boeing 777 that can be hired for long haul flights and this will keep them in business. Trouble is our politicians are outlandishly flamboyant… There’s nothing wrong with what PETER OBI said and suggested.”
