Tinubu's UNGA Hotel Spending: A Symbol Of Nigeria's Corruption by kinglaxon(op): 8:53am On Oct 15, 2023
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixDDMfq2Lx0iq7DYsd-hZWEQgAAlTQNCUTlnn_PXA2KabdzJYrPJnExQ7ViEHCbQUzSG5cW5dZxk9lvybYWiVHIdBYEMPXc1l-mrHWP1t6m6WWhjuNe2wzNxZQ0SjFf3cFy6a8fXbKG2G-OIBc0cFajxeGH45omvw2vekH9u3XKRehdb6YdSd_l5JRf9gy/s720/Tinubu-Bola.jpg
At the just concluded United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), Nigerian presidential candidate Bola Tinubu spent a whooping sum of four hundred and twenty-two thousand, eight hundred and twenty US dollars ($422,820) on hotel reservations for him and his close aides alone in just 7 days. This is equivalent to 422,820,000 million naira.

Despite the fact that there is a Nigerian House in New York, where taxpayer money is budgeted annually to maintain, Tinubu chose to stay in a luxury hotel at the taxpayers' expense. And as if that is not bad enough, he also spent an additional eighty-four thousand, five hundred and sixty-four US dollars ($84,564) on incidentals. This is equivalent to 84,564,000 million naira.

This extravagant spending comes at a time when Nigeria is facing a severe economic crisis. Millions of Nigerians are struggling to make ends meet, and many are going hungry. Yet, Tinubu and his cronies are lavishing taxpayer money on luxury hotels and other unnecessary expenses.

This is just one example of the rampant corruption that has plagued Nigeria for decades. Tinubu's actions are a symbol of the greed and impunity of the Nigerian ruling class.

Re: Tinubu's UNGA Hotel Spending: A Symbol Of Nigeria's Corruption by Cruise777:
cool



They call it Presidential suite for a reason

You want to stay next to UNGA venue at UN headquarters New York for proper engagement

Oloshi poverty mentality full Nairaland so I don't expect any real understanding

Tinubu built Orientatal hotel a 5 star hotel from swampy dumpsite, and sold it, yet you want him to sleep in a motel

It's either he attends and stays close enough to get meetings done or simply stay at home

If you are poor, you must learn to spend your way out of poverty by investing in yourself

Well im not a Tinubu fan but if that's the amount Tinubu spent then I consider it not extravagant even Tinubu can comfortably pay that amount from his personal pocket.

What example does that leave? from a president that the only impact he has made is hurting the economy. 100+ days and nothing good to show for it

How can you say you're not a fan but go on to agree with him spending 422m coming as a president of a country that has no development since he came into office

After wasting such humongous amount on hotels in New York, they're asking IMF to loan them them $400m to use to eradicate poverty

You lie, we went from buying fuel at 180, i was part of the people who complained it was still high at least. Now it's at 620. While dollar is at 1200. We have fallen so bad, in the coming months we might see dollar at 2000
