President’s Promise
Adesina said the President promised to look at the fleet and not sell off the fleet when he campaigned for office in 2015. He added that two to three jets have been sold from the presidential fleet and two to three of the helicopters given to the Nigerian Air Force.
“President Buhari promised to look at the presidential fleet which he did. Air Force received the helicopters and sold off two or three jets.
“That is cutting off excesses. What some people expect is selling off all the jets and start flying the Nigerian Airways if Nigerian Airways still exists,” he said.
