- Reports have confirmed that the proposal by the Nigerian Navy to purchase a presidential yacht has been on since the time of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan
- It was gathered that the Nigerian Marine army proposed the idea to ex-President Jonathan for Nigeria’s 50th independence anniversary in 2010
- Ex-President Jonathan, on the other hand, was not pleased with this request, and he rejected it and the navy to renovate some of its ships instead
A track back to the previous administrations has revealed that the Navy’s recent move to acquire a presidential yacht is a development that has been around for a while.
Last week, President Bola Tinubu suffered a major backlash for adding the purchase of a N5 billion presidential yacht to his 2023 supplementary budget.
