In continuation of the
exposure of top Nigerian government officials’ diversion of public funds and
assets for personal use and political campaigns in preparation for the race in
two years time, 2015, liberated ex-convict Al-Mustapha is allegedly being flown
around Nigeria in Dornier 328 government jets for campaigns for Mr. President.
This revelation from
NewsRescue informants, follows a breaking story about the gross
misappropriation of Nigeria’s funds by Nigeria’s Minister of Aviation, Stella
Oduah in which she was reported to have purchased two BMW bulletproof cars for
N255 million. The cars were allegedly purchased for use in political campaigns.
Following the exposure and dutiful media pursuance of justice in the case,
Nigeria’s president finally Yesterday constituted a 3-man panel to ‘probe’ the
Minister and Coscharis for wrongdoing. EFCC and ICPS were surprisingly not
drafted to investigate the matter of official embezzlement and
misappropriation, thereby raising questions on the honesty of the government
‘probe.’
Punch news just published a story about the 10 planes in the presidential
air fleet (PAF), which is emerging as Nigeria’s second largest fleet, with a
combined estimated value of the PAF at $390.5m (N60.53bn). Only Arik airlines
and struggling Aerocontractors have more planes. Evidently the large fleet is
valuable to the president for such transportation of his campaigners as are
bulletproof BMW cars, all purchased publicly or secretly on funds of poor and
dying Nigerian masses. It would be rather depressing if government jets are
used to transport such people on campaigns for the president of Nigeria.
