We have received many views on whether it is right for state Governors/governments to acquire private jets. We would like to thank you for your comments and urge readers to please make comprehensible comments and use short-form/abbreviation only where necessary.
Here is our 20 best pick.
Audu Ishaya: It is not right. Where are they going to? They were voted to stay in their respective states to work for the common man and not to be moving about anyhow. The jeeps they own are okay for them.
Chicharito: In my opinion, buying jets will only be right if the people in such a state are living in the best condition possible. I mean better roads, availability of water, power supply being steady, good business environment, support for SME, free education at least to secondary school level, good security, workers earning the approved minimum wage on time, innovations and projects awarded and delivered on and money made available for uncompleted ones, proper accounting of the internally generated revenue, etc. Then if the state has enough left to acquire a Rocket they should please go ahead.
Santos: Both church leaders and governors who acquire private jets are thieves. Tunde Bakare is no better. He wanted to be vice president under Buhari to loot everything in this country.
Augustina Ebalu Oboh: 45 million dollars? Do you know how much work that can do in a state? And for pastors, you can imagine how many rich and poor people are forced by words to sow. people suffer in churches with those so called pastors asking them to go and fast and pray. All they preach is give, give and give! my God! whatever a man sows, he shall reap. Do you know how much is paid to park these planes and how much it cost to land this plane in an airport?
Princewill: These people are all the same. Look at our hospitals, many people are dying every day. Pastors now think that private jets are their right while so many of their members and congregations are dying of hunger and starvation. They have the money to acquire private jet so that they can fly to heaven and meet the LORD, what is the need for all this? It is so shameful they think there is no hold up in the sky on their way to heaven, they have forgotten about plane crash right. These so called governors are fools soon there will be a revolution in these states and in Nigeria when the youth will finally rise up against this looters, against these liars and against this selfishness of theirs.
Ekaba: There is no justification for our Governors/State Governments to acquire private jet while millions of youth are roaming the street in search of jobs. If this billions of Dollars they spend to acquiring jet is invested in businesses that will give jobs to our youth, there will be less crime in the society. It appears the people we voted for are now mocking us and lavishly spending the tax payers money with every impunity. It is very annoying to hear that the very people we voted are spending such huge amount on private jets while many families cannot boast of three square meals, no good school, parents have no work. This trend cannot continue this way.
Efosa Prudence Albert: What for? Have they provided the basics for their people? Why the private jets? Visionless people! Where would they get the money to maintain such an ostentatious item? It’s insane!!! There is this race for politicians and men of God to buy Private jets. Why? When there’s too much hunger and suffering in the land! Well let’s see how all these play out. God will intervene for the masses! Amen!
Oluchi Nnodim: Buying jet, when there is no job for our graduates, people are suffering. It is only God that will help us. Very soon they will start buying heaven.
Aniemeke Maureen: Please, my people, there are thousands of motherless baby’s homes out there that need your help.
Oladele Muyiwa: Very very wrong. Imagine the Governor of a poor state like Taraba owning a private jet. Of what benefit is that to the people?
Godswill Chimaruoke Umeh: Let them start buying. The more they buy, the more the revolution that will consume all of them.
Olawunmie Tijani Egwuatu: The jets will surely kill them all in Jesus name. AMEN.
George Kpanikwu: If Mr president can own a jet, then the Governors can as well own jets too.
Peter Olufemi Ajibade: Yes, each Governor should have at least, three jets ,1 for himself, 1 for the wife and 1 for children. Then depending the state’s purse, they can get another for visitors.
Ebinimi Afrogha: They should buy extra life from God, so if this life finishes, they will use the other one! Useless Leaders.
Musa Abdullahi Sakanko: With the current hyper unemployment, it is very wrong for governors or governments to buy private jets, instead of investing that money in huge projects that will create employment opportunity.
Oru Felicia: It’s not right for them to acquire private jets in the midst of so much poverty and frustration among the citizenry! It’s indeed a wrong move for any governor to make at this time.
Igbigbisie Emmanuel Ogheneochuko: That is stupidity in the highest order. Buying private jets to do what? Bunch of failures and disappointment – thieves and fraudsters. See if they do not know, we are ready for a revolution.
Ajetunmobi Azeez: I wonder if they have any conscience, many people are suffering and all they could think about is their expensive live style. God will definitely judge all of them.
Ashiegbu Joy: They are not supposed to own a private jet, where did they get the money from? When lots of Nigerians cannot afford three square meals a day, there’s unemployment everywhere. They are very very wrong.
