Did President Jonathan really take 7 private jets to Kenya?
« on: January 04, 2014, 09:06:36 AM »
Barely 48 hours into the New Year, controversy is once again ‘rocking’ Aso Rock.

A YouTube video suggesting the Presidency recently flew to Kenya with seven private jets has got many chatting on social network already.

The 19-second video clip shows a Kenyan woman (addressing a group of Journalists during a press briefing in Nigeria), mocking President Goodluck Jonathan‘s December 2013 trip to the East African country for its Independence celebration. ‘Your president visited our country with seven private jets and that’s never happened before’, said the Kenyan woman (who is yet to be identified).

Then she went on a satirical rant; ‘We were all excited like ‘this is Nigeria’. It’s the country with the largest number of private jets only. Seven private jets! I know there must be more but for us still that was wow. They came in their own jets, everybody came in their own jets‘.

Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria Reuben Abati has denied the news, clearly stating that woman was lying and should prove her allegation.

‘Tales about Pres. Jonathan travelling to Kenya with 7 jets not true. I challenge the Kenyan lady to prove her allegation. Stop spreading lies‘, @abati1990 announced on Twitter.

That didn’t stop some activists like Japeth Omojuwa and Nasir el-Rufai baring their minds on the issue.

‘GEJ’s Presidential Air Fleet has 10 planes. Arik has 26. Aero -16. Dana – 5. GEJ PAF is our 3rd largest airline in Nigeria. Transformation!! GEJ’s vehicle convoy contains 33 cars. It is the longest convoy in the world and the largest Nigeria has ever seen since 1914. Transformation!‘, el-Rufai wrote on his Twitter. TheNetNG News
