I remember last week I was here lamblasting the governors of Akwa Ibom and Rivers state, and some people thought I did that because I am not from the same tribe with the governor or that they deserve to buy the jets as in the case of Akpabio, him done 'work'. I was ashamed at the way some of us reason. The monies for the jets would have fixed a lot of things. Standard hospitals, schools, industries, roads in the rural areas etc We always cry about the poverty in the Niger Delta region but funny enough it is our leaders and their wickedness that put us in this state. Even if the federal government gives 50% resource control to Niger Delta it will not change anything because it will go into the hands of these corrupt men. Akpabio is the worst governor Akwa Ibom has ever produced. His government is the most corrupt in the the history of the state.

Our profligate governors have only succeeded in exposing their poor governance performance to the outside world. A former United States Ambassador to Nigeria, John Campbell, wondered why Amaechi and others were obsessed with private jets when the King of Norway and the prime minister fly commercial airlines when they travel. Even Britain’s Prime Minister does not have official jets. He flies in chartered aircraft, sometimes privately chartered, but often he flies British Airways.

The Prime Minister, David Cameron, has sometimes, travelled in commercial airlines. It saves taxpayers at least $300,000 each time Cameron takes a commercial flight. Incidentally, while Norway, which produces about the same amount of crude oil as Nigeria, is among the richest countries in the world with one of the highest standards of living, Nigeria is among the poorest.

In Africa, Malawi’s President, Joyce Banda, earlier in the year, announced that she would sell her country’s sole Presidential jet and a fleet of 60 Mercedes Benz limousines. She said she would henceforth use private airlines instead. In the past, Nigeria has produced some selfless leaders who had the interest of the country at heart. Such leaders as Murtala Mohammed, Aminu Kano, Tafawa Balewa and Michael Adekunle Ajasin, never engaged in lavish lifestyles at the expense of the citizens. These are leaders our wasteful governors should emulate. Our land is again hungry for them.

in a country with mass democratic illiteracy you dont expect good governance when you have mediocres in place of authority

TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCHHHHHHHH MONEYYYYYYYYYY

I don't know about Akpabio being the worse governor in Akwa Ibom's history but i don't see the sense in these governors buying private jets when the citizens live in squalor.

Hmmmm

ayinisong ur a veri big liar, Akpabio is not d worst Governor Akwa Ibom state has ever seen, u can't just start vomiting rubbish about AKPABIO, he has tried to an extent compared to other current Governors nd the past Governor of AKS, Victor Attah, nd u can't expect him to suit ur taste 100%... As for the examples u've hilighted i.e british prime minister, king of Norway, using commercial planes, u forgot that the condition of our planes used in Nigeria commercially z nt the same with that of the europeans, so u can't expect the Governors we have in Nigeria to use same, or u pretend to forget the crash that took the Governor of kwara state to Germany, If there is the money, any Governor, president, individual can buy for sake of seafty but it should not be as a private matter, bt it should be for the Governor of the state, even if he steps down, the next governor would inherit it.... nd the Nigerian avaition sector should try to sanitize the aviation sector

Am just pounding how they feel doing all this evil ? What would be their endless gain ?. How would this country develop when we still have these folks !

Viclov: ayinisong ur a veri big liar, Akpabio is not d worst Governor Akwa Ibom state has seen, am 4rm uyo, and u can't just start vomiting rubbish about AKPABIO, he has tried a bit, nd u can't expect him to suit ur taste 100%... As for the examples u've hilighted i.e british prime minister, king of Norway, using commercial planes, u forgot that the condition of our planes used in Nigeria commercially z nt the same with that of the europeans, so u can't expect the Governors we have in Nigeria. If there is the money, any Governor, president, individual can buy for seafty sake but it should not be as a private matter, bt it should be for the Governor of the state, even if he steps down, the next governor would inherit it....

So what would you say about the Taraba State Governor? Was that not a private plane?

The bottom truth is our leaders have Zero empathy towards we the followers.

Am pretty sure the next governor would come around and say he also needs a new jet cause the previous one used by the last Governor is old.

God Save Nigeria!

Private Jets are not much money compared to the funds that Governors loot and place in accounts of surrogates, so if you are a crusader of anti-corruption I doubt if there much you can do. The Bank EDs, The MOGs, The New Generation Musicians, and some Business Magnets are the surrogates of these politicians. Private Jet or not, you cant beat them cos they own the Police, the Army and even you sorry to say. If you can not beat them, you can only shout and cry and die, except you join them and change things from the inside out. Join a party today and change things from inside out. FRESH AIR!

I bet you, if given the opportunity to rule your local govt you wld even buy a costlier jet...free us joor...

Okay, please answer the following questions: why do we have ethnic politics in the state today, tribalism in government, corruption, cultism, kidnapping on the increase specially targeted towards the political class. Why did he want to kidnapped Udoedehe's wife, (ACN Candidate's wife in 2011 election), Where is Iniekong Udonwa today,(PDP govenorship aspirant), why was his mother kidnapped and killed just because his son wanted to run for governorship, why was Sam Ewang's wife (ANPP candidate's wife) kidnapped and abused. Why did he order boys to attack Udoedehe and his campaign team in Ikot Ekpene, Ini and Ikono? Where is Paul Inyang, Ekpenyong brothers, chief ononokpono, charles umanah etc? Just funny how some of you don't reason.

I really feel bad when I read things like this. This is the reason things will not get better: "Governor should fly private jet because Nigerian planes are unsafe", so the rest of us should put our lives in danger while the 1% fly in safety? "The Colonel on the BRT lane should be left alone because he's a senior military man".

Maybe we should just allow our leaders to loot and abuse us because they are Government officials? Or should we strive for equality?

We are tired of this corruped leader. How much are they collecting. All they can do is 2 smash our money and by jet. When people are out there suffering. Very bad.

No State governor in Nigeria deserves any private jet for any reason whatsoever.

However, Akpabio is not a bad governor and he has performed well according to Nigerian standard

Stingy in what sense, did you beg him for money? People like you are the one's that follow politicians up and down begging for money that is why you are always an easy tool for them to use and rig the election. Get busy bro stop licking politicians butts.

Akpabio is not a bad governor per say, he has performed considerably according to Nigerian standards..

However, no State governor in Nigeria deserves any private jet for any reason whatsoever. You can buy private jets if there is no poverty in your state. As long as most people in your state are poor, tell me what you need a private jet for

On the surface one might think you are intelligent but no. Did I say grant or loan? Guy use your dictionary, grant and loan no be the same thing. If government can give me a loan of 5million I will create 40 direct jobs and 100 indirect in 3 months. I get busines idea brekete.... You people always think that these leaders are better than you are of course for your type because for me I will do 1000 times more than Akpabio is doing. I have a track record, I won't wake up one day and rig myself into power like he did but you will cast that vote for me a vote for change
