Omoyele Sowore, a publisher and activist, has accused the Nigerian government of purchasing a $100 million (approximately N41.5 billion) Airbus A330 Presidential Jet.
Sowore claims the aircraft, originally named VP-CAC, has been re-registered as 5N-FGA. He shared an image of the jet on his Instagram page, accompanied by the following statement:
‘’While they are telling you to “exercise patience” @officialasiwajubat already bought a $100m Presidential Jet and configured or reconfigured it with some $50million and it is ready for delivery! The jet is an A330-200 initially christened VP-CAC is now registered as 5N-FGA.
“This was not in the annual budget, they can’t pay minimum wage for workers but could afford $150m for a private jet, students have to obtain loans to go to college but they could afford to approve billions for hajj even as the money/ies ended up being stolen.
Fight we MUST! #RevolutionNow .”
