PoliticsRe: NAF Puts Up Presidential Aircraft For Sale, Invites Bidders by pocom35: 12:18pm On Dec 05, 2023
SmartyPants:
I assume these are accumulated from previous govts, with each successive govt adding one or two as the old ones get outdated, hence the current sale.

However i would imagine the fleet is not used by Mr President alone...the VP and other officials in the line of succession including the VP and Senate President probably use the fleet too.

3-4 planes would be sufficient.
no single aircraft was added to the presidential air fleet since 2015... instead 2 were released from the fleet and one sold
..
Every aircraft in the presidential air fleet were bought under OBJ, UMY/ GEJ tenures

These are the aircraft in total
5N FGU Falcon 7x
5N FGV Falcon 7x
5N FGE Falcon 900
5N FGO Falcon 900
NAF 961 Falcon 900
NAF FGT Boeing 737
5N FGW G550
5N FGS G V

Such incidents can happen even if Peter Obi is president...no need to be emotional..

Since we don't have, why should we have 8?? I think Buhari managed to sell about 2 when he was in office, but what do we need 6 for??
We have 9 jets and 4 helicopters in the presidential fleet

I once did an investigation to their numbers

5N FGU Falcon 7x
5N FGV Falcon 7x
5N FGE Falcon 900
5N FGO Falcon 900
NAF 961 Falcon 900
NAF FGT Boe 737

5N FG2 AW 189

Previously there used to be 6 helicopters however Buhari transferred 2 (AW 101) to the Airforce which have both crashed ..

A Jet was also sold during the last tenure.

The question you should even be bothered about is whose government bought all these jets.. well we're acquired within the 16 years of PDP..

Lastly aircraft in the presidential air fleet is not solely for the president...top government officials used it to commute around to carry out their duties.. GEJ used them when Buhari appointed him to oversee the Junta crises in Mali..

Even governors and tradition leaders use it when they have official business in Abuja..the only plane exclusive to the president is the Boeing 737 code named NAF 001 or eagle one..

If you had any common sense, you should have wondered why the armed forces lack coordination in operation and in putting out statements in cases like this.

They are not the same yet, all under the armed forces and controlled by the same Chief of Defence staff.
The Army and airforce are not the same...it is simple..they have different role to play in promoting national security..if one force is accused of something..they have rights to release a statement proving their innocence...it is not the duty of the Airforce to speak on behalf of an operation fully carried out by the Army..

The ministry of Defence can because it houses the three ..

Mr English, like so many of his educated illiterate mates. That's why they can fool and rubbish you lots with nonsense statements and propaganda.

If there was any form of inter-relations, synergy, and cohesion between the different forces, would there have been the need for a first denial by the NAF before this acceptance of culpability by the NA?

This is where my comment stems from because this very show of shame and lack of coordination cuts across all sectors of governance up to the so-called Presidency.

It's hugely embarrassing.
Some of y'all are hugely daft..

An incident occurred...the Airforce was blaimed.. their PPRO released a statement that they are not involved...if the Airforce itself knew it's the Army..they are not in any condition to speak for the Army.. you mofo...so a crime committed by the Army you should expect the PRO of the Airforce to speak of their behalf claiming responsibility in the name of synergy and inter relations.. I am not sure you are sane..

This is a lie. Julius berger can't come back and ask you for more money claiming exchange rate once a contract has been signed.
What usually happens which you're not aware is that the govt only releases about 30% of the entire money then when the contract has expired after years they call the construction company back to come and complete the project. Of course by then the initial contract is no longer binding so they have to renegotiate
My dear....there are countless times... Fashola went to FEC meetings for approvals for funds to complete ongoing projects as a result of upward review due to economic realities..

A simple Google search will help you...

Papa oworonshoki highway was awarded for 72.5bn naira... The road construction never stopped but congrats had to be review to over 90 bn.

Lagos Ibadan highway has been under construction since Jonathan era inshort it is not a Buhari project per say.. but the contract sum changed when Buhari got in despite working never stopping but slowed down...
The only main project that stopped was 2nd Niger bridge ...JB sat back with government for upward review to 414bn..
. sometimes these contractor know that things will keep getting expensive.. so they quote even bigger amount way above current market prices so that when commodities get more expensive...their loses can be minimized through the period of building the project...

Keep quiet
Contracts are done in naira terms not dollars
Exchange rate is unstable because most of our elites especially oldish hoard and speculate on the naira.
Your last question is meaningless. Ask why your govt pegs exchange rate at 700 while South Africa pegs is at 18. That's the difference between your dollar and theirs
Lol..

The dollar plays a key role.. go and do contract with Julius beger. And along the line dollar rates doubles.
So you mean JB will not come and meet you back for more money?. Dey play..


The vice president lodge that was awarded for about 7bn naira .today Julius Berger is asking for 15 billion naira to complete the nearly completed project..and you are telling me contracts are in naira.. even though the figures are calculated in naira and paid in naira... It is still a reference of the current exchange rate.

Dollar is the Same in both Nigeria and South Africa..it is the value against each local currency (i.e south Africa rand, Nigerian naira ) that differs

Another nitwit. Are governors who are not paying salaries but stealing money like the one in Kogi doing it because they are poor?
You guys keep yaping on 33bn for Nigeria and $132 billion for South Africa without realising it's a question of exhange rate not productivity.
You guys need to get proper enlightenment
You are the one yapping nonsense.. so when contracts are done..you think it is in reference to naira?


So when exchange rate goes high commodities will remain the same in naira? For a country that imports everything.

You speak about the question of exchange rate...so is the dollar used to express our own budget as 33 billion different from the one used to quote south Africa's budget as 132 billion?
