Sowore drags Tinubu over alleged purchase of $100m presidential jet amid economic hardship

Former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has dragged President Bola Tinubu over an alleged purchase of a presidential jet worth a whopping $100 million and a further investment of an additional $50 million for its customisation.

Sowore who made the allegations via his X handle on Monday night said it was quite insensitive for the President to spend such an amount on the purchase of a presidential jet while Nigerians were going through unbearable hardship, hunger and poverty.

The activist also criticised the purchase, emphasising the disparity between the government’s spending and the country’s economic challenges.
