In Nigeria, experience had shown that the Presidential-Jet flies off most of the times without carrying the President, or anyone who is officially acting in the capacity of the President..
The Presidential-Jet had been successfully converted to the President’s Family-&-Friends unpaid means of transportation.
So, the Presidential-Yacht will just be leaving the Nigerian Coast to other countries, carrying β€œconsignments” in-and-out of the country..
AND THE PRESIDENT WILL NOT BE ON IT AS IT GOES AND COMES.


Nigerians too dey compare.

Out of the 190+plus countries in the world, you just listed only 9 here.
And you think it is enough reason to include Nigeria?
Just because 9 out of 190+plus has it?
