President Goodluck Jonathan wants to ride yet another new aircraft, and
he has asked the National Assembly to approve the purchase. The request
is part of the 2015 budget presented to the National Assembly in Abuja
last week by the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. It will be the fourth such purchase since he took office in 2010.
To make the acquisition of the
gleaming new toy fit for the electoral stomp an attractive proposition,
the presidency will trade in one of the planes currently in the
presidential fleet. But the purchase will still gulp N400 million as
deposit to the manufacturer.
