From my investigations, I don't think the leadership in Nigeria is ready to tackle corruption, if the President and executive is actually serious about this, the presidency will not include the purchase of two aircrafts in addition to the eight which he already has in his fleet.

“One of the items of expenditure in the current budget is the purchase of two more aircraft to bring the presidential fleet to over 10. What does the President need a fleet of aircraft for?

“How can Nigerians make sacrifices if the leaders are unwilling to sacrifice their exhubitant lifestyle? In any case, how many aircraft has the Queen of England?

“The British Prime Minister does not have any jet, he uses the British Airways. President Barack Obama pays for his food (unless when hosting a state banquet) and even pays rent on his official residence.”

It was around may of last year that Nigeria’s N7Bn Presidential Jet was Banned From Flying Worldwide. That is almost 70 days after the new N7.65bn presidential jet, Falcon 7X, touched down at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, from the manufacturer’s factory in France, Dassault Aviation, France European authorities have banned the jet from flying in Europe and other parts of the world over safety issues.

Naija get money now but na you go suffer am,

thiefs

What else do you people expected from the opportunist shoeless, zoology,Fisherman lucky retardeen. Someone that has no ideal of economy or proper leadership quality thus he emerged to the highest office through some unbelievable luck luck luck luck. expected 15 brand new jets in by 2015 after all fuel subsidy remover as now succeeded and what will happen to the money that will be benefited from the subsidy remover if not for embezzle and flamboyant spending at the expense of poor nigerians. It's yours Fresh Air . Don't complain of any dusty air please enjoy it.

money good ooo
poverty na disease oo

Robber. May GEJ rot in hell.

This information can't be true at this time in our national life.

One of the reasons y subsidy has to go!

Please o, what part of the budget what this plugged into? 

As for me o, this story is FALSE.

Is this the reason why they want to remove subsidy is this how they want to continue to loot our treasury if this is true what the hell is this man trying to do build up a presidential airline for commercial services I doubt if he knows/knew what he was signing for in the budget no questions just bring and sign off God gossh I hope it isn't true because people would just have to look at this mess and treat his phuck up any how somehow

If there are 8 Aircrafts already on the Presidential fleet and GEJ wants to get 2 additional, I guess he wants to setup an AIRLINE after leaving office. May be something like WAHALA, DIZZY or BOKO AIR!!!

The funny thing is that most people shouting corruption here will do the same thing if they were in these people shoes

"Several aircraft have been used as Air Force One since the creation of the presidential fleet. Since 1990, the presidential fleet has consisted of two Boeing VC-25As – specifically configured, highly customized Boeing 747-200B series aircraft. The Air Force is looking into replacing the two VC-25 aircraft with three replacement aircraft beginning in 2017."

Very True as well.

But if these bastards no take all these money go heaven when dem die, there are all bast.ards,

Buying another set of the jetsssssss are not the infrastructure the masses need.

Do you guys realise that there is a Selfish Capitalist in everyone of us  . It is human nature to be self-serving. It is abnormal to (by default) think of your fellow-man. Bunch that in with the self-serving interest of Politicians and a Capitalists Society as Nigeria   This is what you get - - - a eeeming Mass of 4th-class citiziens that cannot control or manage their Economic and Political futures but can only manage their Social and Religious futures (Thanks to Wealthy Religious leaders and Western Values).

Complainers - just stop it. if it bothers you that much, you will take action beyond protests that cannot bring about massive change. just joing the train and defraud the nation     otherwise - STFU

You do not need a link to confirm that the story is true or not. the point is - it is believable  

@ NIYI, U DEY MAD FOR THAT STATEMENT SAY " NIGER DELTA GET THE OIL MONEY" NA UR PAPA MONEY.

If this story is for real, then am speechless. Why on earth r these politicians sooo unrepentant?

Whether true or not they want 2 buy another 2, What are they using 8 aircraft for, Smmmhhh.

What is dis counry turn'n in2? God pls hv mercy on our leader! Amen!

waste

The presidential fleet is not 8.
Besides, there is no kobo provided for purchase of Aircraft for president
in 2012 budget. This story can't be true. The rate at which such
unsubstatiated and mischievious rumours make the homepage
is also a suspect.

There are lots and lots of misinformation aimed at discrediting GEJ.
