Senate Debates New Presidential Jet for Nigeria Over Safety Concerns

In a crucial Senate plenary, Senate President Godwill Akpabio asserted that the 10th National Assembly would not let Nigeria face the same tragic fate as Iran and Malawi, whose leaders died in plane crashes due to faulty jets. He emphasised that the Senate is ready to approve President Bola Tinubu's request to replace any defective aircraft in the Presidential Fleet if necessary. Despite this, an official request for a new presidential jet has yet to be submitted. Sheriff Adekoya, a social commentator from Lagos, Nigeria, and Zariyi Yusuf, spokesperson for Big Tent, Join us for a detailed discussion. They discuss the implications of the Senate's stance, the necessity versus luxury of a new jet, and the broader political consequences. Watch now for an in-depth analysis of how this debate could shape Nigeria's governance and priorities.

Every civilized nation has a presidential jet, regardless of economic woes, hungry masses should be more creative in life, Nigeria wants to be a global shot caller without a presidential (working jet fleet) also matter of safety

The jet has no issues, Nigeria government knows how to get whatever they want knowing fully Nigerians can not say no even if they say no.... They have seen a well furnished jet from one of the Arab countries which they must do everything to get it..... I remember we shouted that senate wanted to approve hug sum for the jet, which they denied it... Today is obvious
