Read Time:1 Minute, 15 Second
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 criticizing the purchase of the new Presidential jet for Tinubu.
There have been outcries over the purchase of a new presidential jet for Tinubu’s use amid the hardship and hunger in the country.
Reacting, Tinubu’s aide, Bayo Onanuga, said the Nigerian government purchased the aircraft below its market value.
However, the former minister urged Nigerians not to pity Tinubu because his policies are in confirmation of 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.
