General Muhammadu Buhari in UK
I Will Maintain a Modest Lifestyle as President – Buhari…Will
Resuscitate Nigerian Airways…All Presidential Aircrafts Will Be
Brought Under Nigerian Airways “One of the major killer of our
economy apart from corruption is Waste. Our scarce resources
are being plunder 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
much 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 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.”We shall do this by bringing all the aircraft in the
presidential fleet into the Nigerian airway and within a year
increase the fleet into about 20.”What is the difference between
me and those who elected us to represent them, absolutely
nothing. Why should Nigerian President not fly with other
Nigerian public?”Why do I need to embark on a foreign trip as a
president with a huge crowd with public funds?”Why do I need
to go for foreign medical trip if we cannot make our hospital
functional?”Why do we need to send our children to school
abroad if we cannot developed our university to compete with
the foreign ones?”Why, and why must our people be servants to
the foreigners in the midst of plenty? I can go on and on.”I came
here in the UK and I chose to trek just to make sure I sent a
message back home to some people who wish us dead.”This is
not my struggle, it is our collective efforts to save Nigeria from
those who have failed us for 16 years.”-
