PLEASE MENTION ONE STATE IN NIGERIA THAT IS NOT RICH ENOUGH TO BUY A PRIVATE JET FOR HER GOVERNOR.

IT IS JUST A MATTER OF PRIORITY. EITHER WELL PLACED OR MISPLACED.

naijaspeak: [b]Do not be surprised to see Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta state placing orders for his own private jet if he had not already done so. James Ibori his brother and former governor also had his until it was seized

For Governor Akpabio, he is fond of sacking his deputy all the time. Deputy Governor find it very difficult working with him as a boss. He just set the ball rolling to impeach his deputy governor who had to take the most respectful way to find a balance by claiming resignation.

Can you see how our south south governor are digging their dirty hands into our financial purse to take our money.

As you all can see our economic woes are not completely caused by the northern leadership who has ruled Nigeria for over 40 years of our Independence as a sovereign state but by our own Southern leaders who believe in stealing huge amount of our petro-dollars.

This is something an American president or a British prime minister will never try.

Why can't our dying aviation sector be restored back to it former glory.

why can't our dying educational sector be restored back.

What about our health care institution.

All our leaders are now fond of trying the alternative route which is abroad to get what they need such as London ( UK ) Germany, France, USA etc
[/b]
You can summarize your long epistle in three sentences.. Sacking his deputy shouldn't be your headache bro. He didn't convert the jet to his personnnal property and the man is still a performer. I have no problem with flamboyance if you are delivering.

Governor Akpabio Takes Possession of $45 Million "Private" Jet

The government of Akwa Ibom State has confirmed that Godswill Akpabio like his Rivers State counterpart, Governor Rotimi Amaechi, also owns a brand new jet.

Akpabio took possession of the $45 million jet in July 2012.

Responding to SaharaReporters inquiries, Akwa Ibom Commissioner for Information, Aniekan Ummanah, confirmed that Mr. Akpabio bought the Gulfstream jet manufactured in 2011, but insisted that that it is Akwa Ibom State property.

As already published by SaharaReporters, Governor Amaechi’s gleaming new toy is a Bombardier Global 5000 (N565RS), which he acquired for his exclusive use.

Governor Akpabio’s state of the art jet, which carries FAA registration number N224BH, was interestingly purchased by the same Bank of Utah Trust account used by the Rivers state government. The deal was handled by a trust attorney at the bank and delivered to Mr. Akpabio.

Records show that Governor Akpabio, whose deputy resigned yesterday, has travelled abroad in the jet regularly, especially to and within the United States, since the acquisition.

I don't see any problem with that considering his achievements so far in his state.
He made the purchase on behalf of the state and not for personal use. It could have been so selfish if it was purchased in his name.
Nevertheless , I still doubt Sahara reporters , they disseminate false informations ; misleading majority to believe in a lie !

Billyonaire your point of views will make half of NL in loggerheads with you esp. when it has money involved.

Born billionaires like us definitely see differently from the lot. The jet carries a Akwa Ibom state name on it!

Mehn I love that Jet! I am going to have mine!
Governor Akpabio is a hardworking governor, just few weeks GEJ laid the foundation for an olympic stadium in the state. The jet is for the state, that means after his tenure, others can still make use of it. By the way it will reduce the cost of travelling and financing over 50 aides that go with em. Good move!

Hahaha... na now una know. Really funny. A state with the highest allocation in the country no standard hospital, school and no industry and some people here are saying he deserves it afterall him don work? Nigerians just deserve the leaders they get period. The state university is like a primary school, hv u seen the school called Akwa Ibom State University. Is that the type of institution the state with the highest allocation can build?

I know some of u here live in Aba tongue that's why if una come Akwa Ibom e be like say una don go yankee. How many jobs has Akpabio created through in his government or in partnership with the private sector. Go to Itu, Paper Mill is not working, Peacock Paints in Etinan too, Sunshine batteries, International biscuits, Ceramic coy, etc are all lying unfunctional and the machines are decaying on daily basis. Do you know how many jobs that would have created? And one is here saying he deserves it. $45million will fix wat I just mentioned. I weep for blind pple the politicians will take 100 million and give you 50,000 and you scream how much he has done. cry

Is the jet his property and is he leaving office with it?if no,pls stop worrying yourselves sick.
The governors deserve a jet inasmuch as they are working as is expected of them.
My wonder is that a bombardier challenger(some of the most luxurious flying machines around)cost 40m usd,where do these governors buy theirs for 45m usd?

When pastors are having jets,one even has three.
You guys critising him expect what?he should go queue at the ARIK air's counter?
The government can rent or buy,buying is obviously better cos the jet is always available.
