Peter Obi has come under fire from Bola Tinubu’s Special Advisor on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, over his remarks regarding the potential acquisition of a new presidential aircraft for Tinubu.
Remember that on June 17, the National Security and Intelligence Committee of the House of Representatives requested that the federal government buy Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima new aircraft?
Speaking on the development on Monday, however, Obi criticised the proposal, claiming it accentuates the gap between the people and the government.

Obi states that the plan is intolerable and emphasises the need for a more humane use of resources that puts the welfare of the populace first.
In response to Obi’s remark in a news interview, Onanuga stated that getting a second aircraft is essential.
In his words, ” Does Peter Obi want the Tinubu 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, 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. Tinubu had to go from there to the UK on a commercial airline.
“Even those managing them said the aircraft needed to be replaced,” he said.
