They Can Buy $150m Jet For Tinubu, But Can’t Pay Minimum Wage – Sowore
The publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore has slammed the federal government for neglecting the pains of the people of the country and buying a jet worth one hundred and fifty million dollars for the president.
He added that they could ask Nigerians to “exercise patience” including on the matters including the issue of minimum wage. The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has been slugging it out with the federal government over a new minimum wage.
The Senate President Godswill Akpabio has said that the upper chamber of the Senate wouldn’t hesitate to approve any request for a new jet for the president.
Millions of Nigerians are struggling to make the ends meet as their businesses collapse with that policies of the current administration.
Sowore said on Facebook, “While they are telling you to “exercise patience” Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu already bought a $100m Presidential Jet and configured or reconfigured it with some $50million and it is ready for delivery! The jet is an A330-200 initially christened VP-CAC is now registered as 5N-FGA.
“This was not in the annual budget, they can’t pay minimum wage for workers but could afford $150m for a private jet, students have to obtain loans to go to college but they could afford to approve billions for hajj even as the money/ies ended up being stolen.
Fight we MUST! #RevolutionNow .”
