Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, has said
President Bola Tinubu, the National Assembly, and the political class have
decided to become bandits against Nigerians.
Ezekwesili made the remark on Channels Television’s Politics
Today while further faulting the purchase of the new Presidential jet for
Tinubu.
There have been outcries over the purchase of a new
presidential jet for Tinubu’s usage amid the hardship and hunger in the
country.
Reacting, Tinubu’s aide, Bayo Onanuga said the Nigerian government purchased the aircraft below the market value.
However, the former minister urged Nigerians not to pity
Tinubu because his policies are in confirmation with what his predecessor,
former President Muhammadu Buhari did while in office.
According to Ezekwesili: “The executive, the presidency, the
National Assembly, I think they have decided that they are the bandits.
“The political class has decided that they are bandits
against Nigerians. Because I do not see how it is feasible that the priority of
a government that has this level of biting hunger in the land, this level of
poverty where people are dropping into poverty per minute will consider the
purchase of aircraft for the president.
“The construction of N20 billion homes for the vice
president; the purchase of all kinds of funny looking cars and the fleet of the
National Assembly members and the executive, what exactly is that?”
