Pls don't refer to us as 'members of the public ' - we are Nigerians

Oga, what @tit meant was that the planes are flown and maintained by NAF. NAF pilots fly them.. handing them over only means NAF would be using them for non-presidential movements

This is commendable. Having 12 presidential jets is an unnecessary waste of resources in this period of recession. A good leader leads by example. Change has truly began with this move by buhari to curb waste. GEJ should have reduced the fleet but he is too corrupt to think in that direction. Some call you a dictator but if dictatorship is what is required to sanitize the system you have the support of sane Nigerians. Invade the home of looters, break their doors and safes with sledge hammers, brutalize them with your DSS and make them pay for short changing the state. We must sanitize the country for the upcoming generations. God bless Buhari for sacrificing his comfort for the masses. We are grateful sir

Barring any last-minute change in plan, President Muhammadu Buhari will on Monday hand over some aircraft in the Presidential Air Fleet to the Nigerian Air Force, SUNDAY PUNCH has learnt.

A top Presidency source told our correspondent on condition of anonymity that the handover ceremony would hold at the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

Although the source was not forthcoming on the number of aircraft to be handed over to NAF, it was learnt that at least two of such presidential jets would be presented to the air force.

The source said, “I can confirm to you that based on the directive of the president, the commander of the Presidential Air Fleet will hand over some aircraft in the fleet to the Nigeria Air Force on Monday. The handover ceremony will be open to members of the public. President Buhari may be represented at the event by the minister of defence. It will hold at about midday on Monday.”

Out of the 10 aircraft currently in the fleet, only the Boeing Business Jet (Boeing 737-800 or Air Force One), is for the president’s exclusive use.

Others who fly aircraft in the fleet are Vice President Yemi Osinbajo; Aisha Buhari; Dolapo Osinbajo; Senate President Bukola Saraki; the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara; ex-heads of state and top government officials on national assignments on behalf of the president.

[s]Civilian planes have no business in the battle-field. So you are being deceived as usual.
We have specialized military jets for battle zones and Nigeria does not have many of them, and the few ones you have are very obsolete.[/s]

MrPresident1:
The Presidential Air Fleet PAF is managed by the Nigerian Airforce. Abi is Buhari's plane not called Nigerian Airforce One?

Alex Badeh former chief of defence staff was a former commander of the PAF.

Adesola Amosun former chief of Air staff was in the PAF.

GMB‬ Speech While Addressing Nigeria Community In The United Kingdom.


I Will Maintain a modest lifestyle as President -Muhammadu Buhari.

“One of the major killers of our economy apart from corruption is waste. Our scarce resources are being plundered away very carelessly and unnecessarily wasted. Let me give an instance, presently, there are more than 6 aircraft in the presidential fleet. What do you call that? Billions of naira is budgeted every year for the maintenance of these aircraft not to talk of operational cost and other expenses.

You may want to ask what a Nigerian President is doing with so many aircraft when a Prime Minister of Britain fly around using the same public aircraft like an ordinary Briton.

Go and check and compare with that of any developed country in the world, the office of the Nigerian President is a very expensive one inspite our high level of poverty, lack and joblessness. Despite all these, you still find a Nigerian Minister spending about N10billion to charter an aircraft for just one year. Now, for me, when we come into office, all these waste will be blocked and properly channelled into our economy. We intend for instance, to bring back our National carrier, the Nigerian airways. [size=14pt]We shall do this by bringing all the aircraft in the presidential fleet into the Nigerian airways[/size] and within a year increase the fleet into about 20.

NafeesaAA:
Aircraft and most especially helicopters can be lightly modified to perform combat missions. I gave you a picture of a modified Augusta helicopter above, besides some of these helicopters under the president fleet have the ability to carry external loads and some avionics to support the loads. I do know that such modification would lack features found in military aircraft such as ejection seats.

Toyota hilux is for private or rather non military use, but terrorists and some established military formations have found ways to install triopd on them to carry AA guns, enhance the suspension to support the extra weight.

Why do we make it easy for our leaders looters to steal us blind
