Indonesian President Flew Economy Class To Attend Son's Graduation by Eziachi: 10:17pm On Nov 22, 2014 |
Last time Abati told us how humble Mr Jonathan is, he was refering to Nigerian president eating fried plantain for a meal, therefore he is a humble man. Ok! fancy this story and tell me how, once shoeless person eating a delicious food translate to being humble? The Indonesian president has caused a stir by flying economy class to Singapore to attend his son's high school graduation. Joko Widodo and his wife declined to take the presidential plane because it was a personal trip. The pair paid for their own tickets, although the government paid for security guards who accompanied them. Father or president? The Indonesian president and his wife, Iriana, went to see their youngest child graduate from the Anglo-Chinese School, where the president took selfies with other students. They flew on the national carrier, Garuda Indonesia, on Friday, queuing up at the check-in desk in Jakarta with other passengers, causing a flurry of interest from other travellers. "The president is travelling as a father, not as the head of state," said an Indonesian official, explaining the unusual presidential travel arrangements. Joko Widodo - known affectionately as Jokowi - built up a reputation as a man of the people, first as the mayor of the city of Solo and then as governor of Jakarta. Coming from a humble background, he would often turn up unannounced and unaccompanied in Jakarta's slums to speak to residents. It appears he wants to maintain that image now he is president of Indonesia. Following the graduation ceremony, Mr Widodo had a breakfast meeting with Singapore's Prime Minister, Lee Hsien Loong, on Saturday before returning to Indonesia. 4 Likes |

Our own flies a private jet and then use the remaining 10 in the presidential fleet as escort since he believes he can switch to anyone of them in the air to avoid shekau's missile. The profligacy exhibited by the man in Aso Rock in Nigeria is a complete realization of the fact that a poor man will alway have a poor mentality to eat all he lost out when he lacked to make up the years of needy. Who needs 11private jets on a fleet? Not.even Obama. 9 Likes |

Nigerian presidents and governors has no idea about the difference between when to be a public official and a private citizen. When Jonathan and the governors travels, they do so with legions of their aides, servants and hang-ons, even when going for a private event. They use public fund to buy wedding gifts like cars and houses, funeral bonaza for the bereaved family of their friends and child naming ceremony goodwill bonanza. 1 Like 1 Share |

sulmeza: It's like you didn't read that he was attending his son's graduation. He was travelling in his PERSONAL and not PRESIDENTIAL capacity, which is how it should be as opposed to the brazen use of public resources for private purposes seen in these parts. 2 Likes |

Jonathan alone is not guilty of this, his wife also is. Can you imagine her refering to the President as her husband in an official gathering? |

Nice one from the Indonesian president. That's humility in display. But why is his son going to another country to get a high school education? Doesn't sound too humble. |
