Publisher and activist Omoyele Sowore has alleged that the Federal Government purchased an Airbus A330 Presidential Jet worth $100 million.
Sowore shared a photo of the jet on his Instagram page and claimed that it was initially christened VP-CAC and registered as 5N-FGA.
According to Sowore, the jet was configured or reconfigured with an additional $50 million and is ready for delivery.
He expressed outrage that the purchase was not included in the annual budget and that the government could afford to spend $150 million on a private jet while struggling to pay minimum wage to workers and approve funding for education and other essential services.

“This was not in the annual budget, they can’t pay minimum wage for workers but could afford $150m for a private jet, students have to obtain loans to go to college but they could afford to approve billions for hajj even as the money/ies ended up being stolen.”
