  • The Presidency criticized Peter Obi, asking if he wishes harm upon President Tinubu by opposing the new presidential jet purchase.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that Presidential candidate Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) condemned the Federal Government’s decision to purchase new aircraft for the presidential fleet on Monday.

He criticized the move as insensitive, especially as Nigerians are facing economic hardship due to government policies.

EDITOR’S PICK

In response, the Presidency swiftly countered Obi’s remarks, describing them as insensitive.

They questioned whether he would prefer risking the President’s safety by using faulty aircraft instead.

The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, in a chat with Punch said, “Does Peter Obi want the President dead? Is that his wish? Does he want him to continue moving around in a rickety plane and die like the VP of Malawi and Iran President? Let him tell us. This is a basic thing any sane government will do. You can’t toy with your President’s welfare.

“The plane he used now, I learnt, was bought during (former President) Obasanjo’s era. That was over 20 years ago and I learnt it was a very small plane. The plane developed a problem the last time he travelled to Saudi Arabia. The President had to go from there to the UK on a commercial airline. Even those managing them said the aircraft needed to be replaced.

“Why will any right-thinking person still want the President to move around in it? In any way, it is the National Assembly that officially recommended that new ones should be bought. Sometimes, Peter Obi opened his mouth to make unnecessary statements.”
