Abia South senator, Enyinnaya Abaribe, on Monday said President Bola Tinubu never sought the approval of the National Assembly before purchasing a new presidential jet.
Abaribe said he never saw any document from the presidency
seeking the National Assembly’s approval for a new presidential jet.
In August, President Tinubu acquired a new presidential jet
and this was confirmed by his senior aide, Bayo Onanuga.
The Airbus A330 procured at the rate of N150 billion
replaced the 19-year-old Boeing B737-700 acquired under former President
Olusegun Obasanjo.
However, featuring on Channels TV’s Politics Today, Abaribe
said: ”Nobody brought anything to the National Assembly to say ‘Please, approve
this for purchase of a new plane’. I say it was done without my knowledge. I
never saw any document.”
