Nigeria’s Presidential Jets Are Up For Hire by SageTravels: 8:03pm On Jul 10, 2016
The National Chairman of the ruling All
Progressives Congress, APC, Chief John Odigie-
Oyegun has said that the current administration of
President Muhammadu Buhari has fulfilled its
promise to cut down the number of aircraft in the
presidential air fleet.


Recall that in the run-up to the 2015 Presidential
election, the APC had criticised the presidency
under former president Goodluck Jonathan for
running the largest presidential air fleet in the
world, promising that it would reverse the trend
when it is voted into power.


Asked if the party has fulfilled its promise during
an interview with PUNCH, Oyegun said:


“I think this has largely been cut down. Besides, I
think they are even available for hire in case you
want to use any of them. Don’t forget, from the
very first day, even the vehicles being used by Mr.
President were exactly the same vehicles used by
his predecessor.”


The Party chair who agreed that the popularity of
the APC has waned since it came into office
because of the harsh economic reality Nigerians
are facing since it took office, however said
Nigerians are still confident in the ability of
President Buhari to turn things around.


Oyegun said:
“All governments worldwide in between terms lose
some degree of popularity; no question about that.
“We are having harsh economic times, no question
about that and that does not increase the
popularity of any government.


“It only diminishes it to some extent. What is
different is that, in our case, in spite of the harsh
economic realities, the people still have full
confidence, trust.


“I think that is the proper word, in President Buhari,
that he will do his very best to improve their lot and
I think the proof of that was the reaction to the
threatened strikes by the labour unions.
“You can see that even though people are
unhappy, they refused to come out because they
understood.


“They are in pain but they understood why the pain
was there and they trusted the President that he
was doing everything within his power to
ameliorate their pain. So yes, there is a lot of
grumbling all over the place, but also there is a lot
of trust in Mr. President.”
