The former minister of education, Oby Ezekwesili has described President Bola Tinubu’s administration’s acquisition of jets as reckless and that nothing could justify it.
Oby made this statement while speaking on Channels Television on Tuesday where she fumed that the administration has worsened the nation’s economy.
She said, “All the data and economic indicators show clearly that they have not done a good job of the economy.
“They have worsened it. They could have avoided the fiscal recklessness and rascality that we see.
“If you are a Nigerian, you should be vexed at this government. All we have seen from this government since it came into office is fiscal profligacy.
“The political class has decided that they are bandits against the people of Nigeria.”
She, however, stated that the administration should not be pitied for the bad economy it inherited because its supporters defended the economic policies of former president Muhammed Buhari.
She urged Nigerians not to allow any politicians to toy with their brains by trying to justify the purchase of a presidential jet.
“I don’t see how it is feasible that the topmost priority of the government that has the level of biting hunger in the land and poverty, is to consider the purchase of a befitting aircraft for the president, construction of a N20 billion home for the vice-president, purchase of all kinds of funny looking cars in the fleet of national assembly members and the executive,” Ezekwesili added.
