Obi emphasized that the federal government would lose nothing but respect if it fails to provide adequate information about its leadership to the people whose money is being deployed and whose mandate the President is holding.

He added that a presidential jet is a major symbol of national sovereignty and state power, and how much it costs to transport the president is a major issue of public account.
