The government did the right thing,kudos to BAT. This will save Naija money spent on maintenance

..the right thing to increase his pocket and bank account?

decatalyst:
People just want to write something.

I wonder how selling an aircraft of 20yrs old, probably not being used often, becomes an issue again.

Nigerians can be controversial.

It is not by age but hours and landing. It has done just 4000 hours and 1800 landings. Still a fairly new airframe by aviation standards. No need to spend 150b on a new one. Kiss the truth

After selling he go transfer the money to wifey account for upkeep

Purchase of the current presidential jet in violation of extant regulations was one of the inadequacies of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

David’s should go buy it

Softmirror:
He has done the right thing. You are here complaining again.

Out of Pressure of ADC abi...

This tinubu guy just wanted power he was never going to be a bonafide leader ..always doing politics the people you are supposed to serve are nothing but canon fodder

Where is the stable electricity you promised us? We are still wàllowing in dàrkness in this 21st century. Isn't that a big shame to the so called giant of Africa?

AMINDA:
This one is just running Nigeria like his personal enterprise. No accountability. No transparency.

Nigeria will b great again

That's hatred baba, I'm not surprised a bit

Nigeria my country,there could be a good reason behind it, let's still be hopeful

Felabrity:
The one-term president don dey rush sell Nigerian properties

Na him go still buy the jet through his Chagrory friend

No be the same one term Obi, Atiku, and Amaechi dey beg us say dem wan do so?

Forget about the details of the plane; my boys will handle everything.
I know I can get the plane for 1 million naira if tinubu is on high on his usual.
Before then, let me be eyes open for any sign of his transformation to Bobo Chicago.

concerning government ridiculous spending on unnecessary projects or to themelves that did not yield anything, so this time around borrowing is not possible so he switch to selling abandoned property, am not against it though but this episode of tinubu tv series am is funny..

Nchenches:
Know it all. You were not born yet in 2015 when APC promised that it would convert all the aircraft in presidential fleet into a new Nigeria Airways, if the APC got elected to lead Nigeria.
Tinubu founded APC. He has been a top driver of APC till today.
And of course, you feign ignorance of the fact that Tinubu is selling this aircraft because he bought a new one. All contrary to the 2015 election promise by APC.

You mean they told you the bold part of the message above and you believed? 🤣🤣

So you believed they would start using Micra or hilux to travel round the world abi?

Una no dey cease to amaze me. Nah why we get the kind 'leaders' we have now.

😂😂

We know who’s buying it…

Omonile sabi sell shaaaa

Now the part that caught my attention was the number of Hours and number of cycles the jet was advertised to have. I did some research to see how many hours and cycles similar aircraft could fly in its lifespan. The manufacturer, Boeing puts its lifespan at 55000 hours or 90000 cycles. Our jet had 3821 hours and 1881 cycles. Which means, the jet is almost like brand new by the manufacturer's standards.

This only shows that the excuse of the aircraft being old and not serviceable was untrue.

The new presidential aircraft purchased is far bigger than this one and has a much higher operating cost. The former aircraft 737 bbj has an hourly operating cost of $6,000 while the new one acj a330 has an hourly operating cost of $29,700

Shame go catch Nigeria if one young American billionaire buys it

CoronaVirusPro:
Good move. The Federal government should not be maintaining fleets of private jets. Proceeds from such sale can be channeled into other sectors that will benefit Nigerians.

It’s a good one coming of His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)

What is the standard of living of Nigerians under his government.

Can you be honest?

The two Boeing 747-200B aircraft that currently serve as US Air Force One are both about 35 years old. They entered service in 1990. And the Drug Lord of a Nigerian president wants to sell the presidential jet simply because it’s “old” and high maintenance cost?? Something isn’t right who’s really buying it? Chagoury brothers & Tinubu??

Please tell us what he could have done better.
Give the throne to Pitobi right
