Story. Please find out one thing . I think hews wearing a babaringa and unfortunately the agbada intertwined with the jockeystickof the plane abi.says daaaa a
ReplyDeleteFortunately, the Governor survived.
ReplyDeleteFor the record, the aircraft was a $400,000 (new price) Cessna that was purchased 15 years old from Zaria flight school. I'm not sure how much was paid, but I would be surprised if they paid more than N10 million and then spent another N10 million refurbishing it.
Most state governors are driving multiple armour plated vehicles that they bought N40 million a piece.
