Tinubu didn’t ask for a presidential yacht —Aide

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Tope Ajayi on Thursday, debunked reports that President Bola Tinubu requested for a presidential yacht.

Ajayi made this clarification through a statament titled, “On Presidential Yacht And Other Matters,” in response to reports about the allocation of N5 billion Naira for a Presidential yacht in the N2.17 trillion supplementary budget submitted to the National Assembly.

Tope Ajayi, Tinubu’s spokesperson, strongly refuted these allegations. According to Ajayi, the Navy made the request for the yacht for operational purposes—not Tinubu.
